Ableton Forum

I want a way of setting up a layout, saving that layout to my library and then enabling that layout with a hotkey. Each layout helps me with a different stage of my workflow.

For instance:

Clicking F1 - gives me full view of my browser, plugins and mixer which is great for building out my tracks and sounds initially

Clicking F2 - Gives me full page view of my session view when Im designing scenes and thinking of structure

Clicking F3 - gives me a full page layout of the current clip's midi with 30% height of velocity and change (which I used all the time and it a pain to keep setting up)

Clicking F4 - gives me full page layout of the arrangement view when Im putting all my recorded scenes in to a timeline

Clicking F5 gives me full view of mastering set up.

Etc. You get the idea hopefully. I want to be able through simple shortcuts to fundamentally change the layout that suits my workflow without having to manually set up each view when Im building a song which is a pain and distracting

This is something quite a lot of users would like to have.
The topic is discussed e.g. here:
viewtopic.php?p=1819167&hilit=screen+layout#p1819167

I tried to move this topic to L12 Centercode, unfortunately it does not get much attention there.
That´s why I got out of the subject.

I've let Nandor, one of our developers, know as this seems right up his street of expertise...
