Insert locator at next section during play?

Hello!

Wonder if its possible to have an OSC command insert a locator during play?

You can right click in the scrub area while playing and insert a locator anywhere from the current playhead.

Use scenario would be if the band gets off the click and need to punch them back in with 1/4 note quantization and section jump.

Normally a locator per section would do this. but with the current disk drop out issues i don’t trust having too many locators.

Hey @CharlesM1725,

At the moment, AbleSet does not expose any native OSC command to create or place arrangement locators automatically during playback.
You do have the option in Settings to automatically place or remove locators on section clips though.

If it helps for your use case, I’d suggest a different approach: temporarily fading out your backing tracks group, letting the band lock back in, and then fading it back up.

You can do that with:

/mixer/<groupName>/fadeTo <value>

For example:

/mixer/TRACKS/fadeTo 0

and then bring it back with:

/mixer/TRACKS/fadeTo 1

This is predictable and quantization safe.

Would that work for your use case?

Appreciate the response!

Yah it was more for a rare scenario of needing to place a locator in an emergency during playback to get the band back on track using 1/4 note quantisation but I have other methods thanks!

I’m actually using that fade to feature! Thanks
