Ableton Forum

Hi there, just new to this forum and new to max4live.
I'm looking for someone who could create a plugin with just 2 buttons : one that deletes all clips but the ones that are playing, and a second button that, once pressed, select all clips "by color" but those that are playing, and delete them too. (buttons should be midi mapable)
I can pay for that
I'm a live performance Musician and singer, and as a new user of ableton live i've made a live performance project, in wich i can record clips from my instruments and voice, and play with.
So i would like to delete all the clips that i recorded for previous song, but not the one(s) that are currently playing.
To do this, i've set all the tracks with a unique color, so when i launch record, the clips have all the same colors.
Doing this, if i could have a midi trigger that could select and delete all the clips with that color, but not the ones with that color that are playing, it would make me room for the next song without stop the clips that are curently playing.
To be honest, i've tried to make it using max 4 live, watched some beginners tutorials and open some community plugins to uderstand the app, but i fastly understood that i would pass a month to understand the app and another to do that plugin (and i don't have a month)
So any help appreciated.

I'll take a swing at it.

I go through it twice: First delete operation goes track-by-track and deletes all non-playing clips. Second delete operation goes track-by-track and deletes all clips not matching the playing clip's color.

We can tweak the code to match the needs you are after. if you want to define buttons for different colors that's easy. I just whipped this up based on what I got from your description given that we can have different colors playing on different tracks, so figured start simple.

Let me know what you think. Midi-mappable, too - hence the APC40.
