tuplets in live

Post by toto le robot » Mon Mar 09, 2026 7:06 pm

hello .
I built a sequencer in reaktor thath works in tuplet for exemple I can create a pattern made of 4 beats done with quintuplets plus 3 additional quintuplets . that's a 23steps pattern.

but in ableton I haven't found a way to loop clips easily. I have to zoom to a sample level to set the loop.

in session view I haven't found a way for a clip to switch to the next only when it has reach its end.

and when I record a groove quantize of a quintuplet grid, if I record live and then I use groove quantize with that quintuplet grid it doesn't align on the grid.

does anyone has a solution?

thank you.

Which Live version are you using? Since quite some time now, Follow Actions are set to follow the clip's length by default; otherwise once FA is activated on a clip, just make sure the "Linked" toggle is active and set to "x1".

i'm in 12.3.6
the clip is set as you said but because it lasts 4 beats plus 3/5 of a beat the swich happens on the grid which is in 16th.
