Trigger an audio based on a section

Support

Hi there!

I was trying to use the +GUIDE and +GUIDELOOP features to trigger an audio cue that says “section repeat” whenever I loop a section with the loop button.

The challenge is that I have a 27-song set, and creating a separate audio file for every section of every song would take quite a bit of time. So I was wondering if there’s a way to trigger an audio cue based directly on my MIDI sections (Verse, Chorus, Intro, etc.) instead.

That would be incredibly helpful, especially since I already add an audio cue (Verse, Chorus, Intro, etc.) for each section along with the MIDI track.

Thanks so much in advance for any guidance!

  • OS and Version: macOS Monterrey V12.7.5
  • Version of AbleSet: 3.0.0
  • Version of Ableton Live: Suite 11.3.10

Hey @Onassis, thanks for the suggestion!

You might also want to check out this related thread , where a closely related concept is being explored for dynamically queuing the next song. The same underlying logic could potentially be extended to sections, since the criteria are very similar.

At the moment, there isn’t a built-in way to handle this dynamically. That said, this is something that’s currently being considered. I can’t say when or how it might be implemented, but it’s definitely an idea that has sparked interest.

Hope that helps!
