Ableton SceneSend

Ableton Live 12 Extension — right-click any Scene row and copy every clip in that row into the Arrangement at a chosen locator. Session clips stay put.

Features

• Right-click a Scene → pick a named locator → all clips in that row land in Arrangement
• Works with both MIDI and audio clips
• Loop clips until next locator — each clip repeats to fill the gap, last copy truncated if needed; repeated copies snap to bar boundaries
• Cut clips at next locator — clips longer than the gap are truncated independently of looping
• No looping past the last locator (clips would run forever)
• Respects the scene's time signature for bar-snapping (3/4, 6/8, etc.)
• Open-ended session clips handled (derives duration from note content)

Install

Drag scene-send.ablx onto Ableton Live 12 Beta. Developer Mode is only needed when building from source — turn it off for normal use.

Usage

1. First: install ableton-cue-templates to quickly drop genre-specific locators into your arrangement.
2. Right-click any Scene row → Send to Locator…
3. Pick a locator and set options:
   • Loop clips until next locator — fills the gap by repeating each clip; copies land on bar boundaries
   • Cut clips at next locator — truncates any clip that runs past the next locator
4. All clips in that row appear in Arrangement at the chosen locator position

Build from source

npm install
npm run build       # tsc + esbuild
npm run package     # creates .ablx

Requires the Ableton Extensions SDK v1.0.0-beta.0 (Centercode beta program).
