Toggle jumpmode via midiclip

[AdamSampler]

Hello there!

If I want different jumpstyles throughout my setlist; Is there a way to toggle the jumpmode via a midiclip?

Thx

Hey @AdamSampler!

Yes, you can change Jump Mode during the show using an OSC Track.

You can do it with this message:

/settings/jumpMode [quantized | end-of-section | end-of-song | manual]

So for example, placing a MIDI clip named:

/settings/jumpMode quantized

will switch the jump behavior to Quantized right when that clip is triggered.

---

Also, if you want to make this more flexible, you can use track attributes to set a prefix or a target on the OSC Track name itself.
For example, you can prefix all commands on a track like this:

OSC Track Name: General Settings +OSC [/settings/jumpMode]

Then your clips can just be named:

quantized
end-of-section
manual

AbleSet will automatically send:

/settings/jumpMode quantized

etc., based on the clip name.

You can find a list of available OSC track attributes here.

Would that work for your use case?

Dear Agus, brief question related to this: so when running Ableton with Ableset, I can automatically use a OSC track in Ableton without any further plugins being required, correct? any option to place a timed “mute”/“unmute” for a specific track in this OSC Track? Wondering who is the “receiver” of those commands from this track = if the commands finally end up in Ableton, or just in Ableset…

Hey Sebastian!
There are actually a few ways to handle this depending on what you want to control: AbleSet’s track groups (if you’re using AbleSet 3 beta), Ableton’s mixer, or both.

Let me break it down

---

1. Using an OSC Track (+OSC)

As long as you create a track in Live and add +OSC to its name, AbleSet will treat it as an OSC track — no extra plugins needed.

If your goal is to program timed mute/unmute actions directly on the Arrangement timeline, this works perfectly:

My OSC Track +OSC

Then you can place MIDI clips on that track to trigger AbleSet OSC commands at exact moments.

If you’re using AbleSet 3 beta, and your tracks are flagged with +G, you can control whole groups using AbleSet’s native mixer commands:

/mixer/[group name]/mute [0|1|toggle]
/mixer/[group name]/solo [0|1|toggle]
/mixer/[group name]/fadeIn [ms]
/mixer/[group name]/fadeOut [ms]

More OSC commands are documented here.

2. Using AbletonOSC

If you want to control individual Ableton tracks (not just AbleSet’s Track Groups), then AbletonOSC gives you full access to Live’s mixer.

You can get it here.

To install:

1. Unzip and rename the folder to AbletonOSC.

2. Drop it into User Library → Remote Scripts
   (so Live recognizes it as a Control Surface)
   

   

3. After this you might have to restart Live. Then open Live → Settings → Link/Tempo/MIDI and select AbletonOSC as a Control Surface
   

   
   
   (AbletonOSC listens on port 11000 — as Léo mentions here)

4. In AbleSet’s settings, add a new OSC Connection:
   

   
   
   
   

Once active, you can mute/unmute any track using:

/live/track/set/mute track_id mute

Where:

• track_id starts at 0 (so even though Ableton shows tracks starting at 1, the OSC index is zero-based)
• mute = 1 (muted) or 0 (unmuted)

Example

Mute Track 1 in Ableton Live:

127.0.0.1:11000/live/track/set/mute 0 1

If you want to mute Track 10, the index would be 9:

127.0.0.1:11000/live/track/set/mute 9 1

And so on.

Hope this helps, I’m looking forward to your reply!

As always: works flawlessly. Great advice! Can I use a similar command also to trigger mute/unmute from a button in Ableset canvas?

[agustinvolpe]

Yes! You can absolutely do that from the Canvas as well.

Just add a Button element (click the + icon in the Canvas editor and search for “Button”), and then set its action to the same OSC command you’re using on your OSC track.

If you’re using AbleSet’s native mixer controls:

/mixer/click/mute toggle

This is the recommended approach and will toggle the mute state of the CLICK mixer group.

Or if you’re using AbletonOSC:

127.0.0.1:11000/live/track/set/mute 0 1

(This will always mute. To unmute you’d use 0 0, so you’d need two separate buttons for mute / unmute.)

Both approaches work perfectly from a Canvas button.

Let me know if this works for your use case!
