AbleSet 1.9.0

This is the biggest update to AbleSet so far, with lots of new features, improvements, and bug fixes!

  • Added support for color-coding songs and sections – Thanks David!
    • To add a color to a song, append it to the cue’s name in square brackets – e.g. Grand Paradise [indigo]
    • You can read more about the color-coding syntax here
  • Added support for a MIDI track for song sections in Live 11 – Thanks Martin!
    • You can read more about this feature here
  • Improved loops to make use of Live’s loop bracket – Thanks Chagall!
    • This introduces a new option – “Autoloop the Current Section” – which automatically moves the loop bracket to the current section without activating it. This allows you to spontaneously loop the current section.

    • AbleSet is now reachable on a .local domain which always stays the same independent of your computer’s IP address

    • The tooltips include hints to the shortcuts you can use for the buttons

  • Fixed the placeholder text in the search field sometimes displaying the wrong song name
