Skip arrangement section in Live 12 (Similar to "Skip Cycle" in Logic Pro)
I am looking for a simple way to select and skip a section of the arrangement (in arrangement view) while the track is playing in Live 12.
What I mean in an ideal case is: select the section in question, and rather than loop it (Ctrl-L), we could say 'skip it'. At least this is how Logic implements it, a very useful function for a number of use cases and a very elegant way to do it.
Is something similar possible / feasible in M4L? Or at least an approximation of that? What could be possible approaches?
In the LOM (Live Object Model: https://docs.cycling74.com/max8/vignettes/live_object_model) I don't see any reference to the Loop selector, but I see Cue Points, which could be the way to go.
Have you come across this question before?
Thanks for your inputs.
PS: the same topic described (not by me) in the link below. Yes, many ways to do it with bounce, cut / copy, paste etc. but that is way too involved to be useful in a creative workflow. https://www.reddit.com/r/ableton/comments/13ghgw1/how_to_skip_a_section_of_an_arrangement_both_in/
Just trigger the Locator that marks the end of the skipped section.
"trigger the Locator" is probably more interactive in realtime than is desirable for something like this.
You could keep the list of cue points though and have some programmatic map of Cue Points to skip. Then just before the playback position gets to the time of the "skipped" cue point section you call "jump" on the next Cue Point LOM object.
Checkout [timepoint] object for triggering the call to "jump".
BTW, just saw that they finally FINALLY added 'set' access to the Cue Points "name" property. It's the little things in life…
