Play/Stop a track in session view without midi or audio content

Post by marcueberall » Fri Mar 31, 2023 2:44 pm

Hey there!

I just survived my first 20h of Ableton Live and ran into a little problem. I want to start/stop a track in session view that does not have an attached clip. Like for example Tree Tone or Stepic are procedurally generating their content and do not have a midi clip that can be triggered.

I managed to get it working somehow by inserting an empty midi clip and turning the device on and off via automation. Is there a more elegant way to accomplish this task?

Thanks a bunch for your help! :D
