Saving locator position and tempo/BPM automation when dragging sets from browser

Post by riccardo_bruschi_98 » Wed Nov 05, 2025 7:09 pm

Hello,

I desperately need to drag from the browser some sets with locators and tempo/BPM changes on a empty set, but it imports only the tracks and not the locators and bpm.
Is there a way to do it, maybe using Live APIs or directly editing the Ableton Live XML file?

Thank You

If you know how to do this then it's probably your best bet.
Did you search for any existing feature request?

Hello,

Sorry for the late. I've found some commercial M4L devices that do this so I fix my problem

Thank you for replying anyway
