Scene selection follows clip playing
First off, I'm a super beginner and I'm trying to add some functionality to a cool device I found on max4live.com.
What I would like is to have the highlighted scene in Ableton Live follow a track's selected clip. This way, I can use the Follow Action functionality combined with Midi Mapping to to control the arrangement. Because the "Launch Clip" MIDI-mapping function uses the highlighted scene, it doesn't really move with the Follow Action stuff.
Anyway... what I've got is just pieced together from other peoples' examples and I'm hoping someone sees the bug because I don't really know it well enough.
I'm first getting the track # and then the selected playing clip #.
And then what I'm hoping to do is, as Follow Action changes the clip #, this device would tell Live to select the same scene # to highlight.
It looks like it's ALMOST working but now the clip just gets stuck on whatever its on as is the Follow Action isn't working.
In this case, I have two clips where the top clip's Follow Action moves down and the bottom moves up so that they loop. If I connect the `live.observer` output to `call fire`, it just gets stuck but if I manually click it, it seems to work fine. Even adding a delay doesn't work...
BIG thanks to anyone who can help out.
update: I think my problem is that "selecting" a scene is the equivalent of hitting the Master track's play button for the scene. I simply want to highlight the scene and let the Follow Action function take care of launching it.
Did you get any luck? PLEASE HELP! Im trying to find a device that forces the 'highlighted scene' to follow the scenes I launch from my APC40. I'm playing in & looping live clips from my LaunchKey and the record button only records in 'highlighted scene' which I want to be focused on whichever scene I recently launched... Ive turned off the "select on launch" feature in pref because I launch dummy clips all over the place and don't want the set to jump to those scenes... m4l patch anyone?
Hello, i would like to know if u find a solution.
I have a similar problem : i have several scenes in ableton live that are launched automatically.
I would like that the highlighted square of my APC40 mkII follow automatically the scene.
Is is possible ?
thx
