I’m working with a live set where each song is divided into looped sections. What I’m hoping to do is set up a “Next Section” button that, when triggered, would highlight or flash the upcoming section - similar to how the next song is highlighted in the setlist view.
Is this something that could be done using Canvas, or is there another approach you’d recommend?
Apologies if this has been covered already, and thanks in advance for any help!
Hi James!
To exit a looping section, you can either disable the loop, or you can click on the next section to jump to it. If you use the second method, the queued section will flash in setlist view until it begins playing, which I believe could be what you’re looking for.
Perhaps you could set up a button on the Canvas or with a MIDI controller that jumps to the next section. This can be accomplished with an OSC command:
/setlist/jumpBySections 1
In order for that to work, you would probably have to use the +LOOPFULL flag on your section markers (instead of the usual +LOOP). This would ensure that your section plays all the way through before moving on to the next one.
I’m not sure I’m understanding the question correctly, so please let me know if this is unhelpful
