Hi. While you are playing a song with a SONG END flag is there a way to change that flag to STOP without having to manualy do it in Ableton, something I could midi pad to a controller for example? Thank you.
That’s an interesting idea, what would this be useful for? Do you just want to smoothly play through into the next song instead of stopping at the end?
EDIT (so as not to disrupt the thread): Ah, I see now that I misunderstood your original post. Thanks for explaining!
Hey @Rskeys_S, if you’re using the beta version of AbleSet, you can use the OSC command /setlist/toggleStop
to toggle whether AbleSet should stop after the current song.
I just noticed that I forgot to document this OSC endpoint and will add it to the OSC docs soon.
Let me know if this works for you
Hey ! Well, you are right normaly you want smooth transitions from song to song and there are moments with planned stops, however, sometimes you may have to do an unpredicted stop due to an announcement, setlist change, etc… Hell, I have played with bands that do setlist order while playing according to public reaction and feel…
Hey Leo, i must confess I havent touched OSC features at all with Ableset, old fashion midi map guy here,hehehe. Are osc commands midi mapable and if so where can I find a list of commands and documentation on how to use? Thank you.
Yes, you can map OSC commands to your MIDI controller! Docs for MIDI mappings are here and docs for OSC are here.
Just set the action for a MIDI mapping to “Custom OSC” and then paste in the command that Leo sent: /setlist/toggleStop
.
Thank you very much, I was trying this out during the afternoon, until now I was not familiar with osc commands, mapping this commands makes the system incredibly flexible.
