TL;DR: How I can get ableton to only play one clip at a time regardless of its placement in session view?
Hey everyone,
I'm using ableton as a midi controller for a fire cannon rig. Basically, each note corresponds to a cannon and sending that note over midi will cause it to fire. I've got some clips made with cool patterns and stuff and launch them from the session view.
Originally what I was doing was putting clips into different tracks based on what type they were. I was able to play a clip in one track and then play a clip in another track and the first one would automatically stop when the second clip was triggered.
The problem is that now Ableton won't stop the old clip when a new one starts playing. I'm not sure how it happened but its turning into a big problem. So far my only solution has been to dump them all into one track but I really have too many clips to make that a permanent solution.
A solution that I thought of but haven't figured out how to implement was to solo the track that has the clip I want to play but I'm not sure if theres a way to make a macro or anything for that.
