Jump to the next measure

Hi Leo,

Sometimes I’m in the situation where playing a song with a guest singer who does not keep up with the beat, either singing ahead or behind beat 1 of a measure. Is it possible if you create the jump buttons so the play head can immediately jump to the next measure or back a measure? This way, I can catch up with the singer whenever he/she missed the beat.

Please excuse my late reply on this one!

This use case might be a bit too niche to warrant adding buttons to AbleSet, but you might find use in this Max for Live device I made a while ago:

Beat Jump.amxd (34.1 KB)

This device allows you to jump back and forward by a given amount of beats or bars. Would that work for your use case?

Wow just stumbled on this post, I was looking for a beatjump for years and haven’t found any :exploding_head: you should publish it on gumroad / maxforlive.com because many ableton DJs would love this feature ! Thanks @leolabs
Now let’s try AbleSet :sunglasses:
