AbleSet 3.0.0-beta.20

Beta
1

Setlist

  • You can now queue sections without locators when you’re in manual jump mode
    • While a song or section is queued, you’ll see new buttons at the bottom that allow you to jump there, either immediately or quantized if it has a locator
  • The text of skipped sections is now faded a bit
  • Jump arrows no longer overlap the floating buttons on the bottom of the setlist
  • The progress bars now move as expected again while Live is playing
  • When selecting a song and pressing Space to play, the song title doesn’t show an outline anymore
  • When tapping the settings button again while the settings popover is open, the popover now closes as expected
  • The floating buttons at the bottom now become a bit more condensed on small screens
  • Fixed changes to locator names not being reflected in the setlist editor
  • Fixed active song not updating when jumping to a song in a multi-file project

Canvas

  • When selecting elements, you can now align, distribute, and arrange them automatically with new controls in the sidebar
  • The canvas size can now be set to any custom value
  • You can now hold ⌘ to interact with elements on the canvas
  • Sliders can now be grabbed anywhere to change the value
    • If you’d like the value to snap to the cursor, you can enable the new “Snap to Pointer” option
  • Embed elements now offer an option to disable all interaction with their content
  • The URL of Embed elements is now a templated value, so it can be changed programmatically
  • Added a new logs button to the canvas editor that allows you to see messages logged from element scripts using the log function
  • Fixed font style options being stuck when selecting multiple elements if some of them don’t have font options
  • Fixed being able to select text on button elements in Safari

Lyrics

  • Improved the performance and reliability of lyrics scrolling (again)

Performance

  • The “Current Measure” option can now be enabled and disabled even if the Max for Live device is not loaded in the project
  • The section description can now be enabled separately of the song description

Playback

  • Fixed STOP locator being ignored when disabling the loop a few milliseconds before the locator
  • Fixed playhead not jumping to the next section locator when escaping a +LOOP section while in safe mode

Scripting

  • Fixed onOscChange failing silently when the 2nd argument isn’t set
  • The previous value (2nd argument) of onOscChange callbacks is now correct

Audio Interfaces

  • While loading a new file in multi-file projects, automatic failover is now disabled so connected audio interfaces don’t switch to scene B
  • Audio interfaces now look correct in the settings list

Is there a way to have the mixer view or a particular fader of the mixer view in the canvas view?

Hey Joaquín, welcome to the forum!
Yes — you can add a fader to the Canvas by using a Slider element.
You can find the full walkthrough here.

Hope it helps!

is it possible to change the “tempo” througth the input textbox? i dont understand the manual jumping mode very well. Is there a "Toggle internal metronome osc command?

7

Yes, that’s possible, though it currently is a one-way operation, so you can’t see the current tempo on the textbox yet. I’ll try to add that in the next beta.

Here’s an example canvas that shows how it works: Tempo Buttons.json (2.2 KB)

You can enter the tempo in the textbox and then press the “Set Tempo” button to set it. To revert back to the project’s stored tempo, press the “Reset Tempo” button.

Alternatively, you could create a tempo slider that changes the tempo when you let go with your finger. Might be a good alternative:

Manual jump mode in AbleSet only triggers a jump when playback stops. This can happen either when a STOP marker is reached in your Ableton Live set, or when you manually press pause or stop.

In this mode, jumps are not triggered automatically at musical points like the end of a section or according to quantization settings, they occur solely in response to playback stopping events. This gives you full manual control over when jumps happen during your performance.

This beta version also adds two new buttons that allow you to manually decide when you want to jump to the queued song or section. Below the first post in this thread is a video demonstration of how this works.

That’s not available in AbleSet, but you can use AbletonOSC for this. Once you’ve added AbletonOSC to Ableton, you can change the metronome with this code:

// Enable the metronome
sendOsc("127.0.0.1:11000/live/song/set/metronome", true);

// Disable the metronome
sendOsc("127.0.0.1:11000/live/song/set/metronome", false);

Let me know if this works for you! :slight_smile:
