An option to not launch a clip by launching a scene

Post by sissyfus » Thu Nov 09, 2017 8:30 pm

An option to choose if a clip would be triggered by a scene or only directly. This option could be called "launch clip on scene" and be placed in the drop down menu on right/cmd-clicking clips.

This feature would be very useful for a live performance, so that on a controller such as Launchpad or Push you could place backtracks and one shots on the same scenes, triggering only some of the clips when launching a scene

That would be an elegant solution!

Good idea!

Could also be like this:
"What we need is a simple button on each clip (or a drop down menu by right click, although one should be able to do this in real time) that is a simple "Play clip on scene launch (yes/no)". This would allow us (e.g.) to dedicate specific tracks to rhythm,fills, chord change melodies (for bass and/or melodies), etc.

It is a VERY easy thing to do (a boolean and a few program mods, and a change in icon to indicate whether the clip launches or not - maybe reverse the arrow?); immediately after launch, the clip would return to its current function."

I quote from Buleriachk viewtopic.php?t=190534

Any workaround yet?

A simple and effective workaround with just as little work would be utilizing the clip activator switches.

Didn’t see how old this thread was, but since you relied somewhat recently, perhaps read my comment above incase it helps.
