A powerful and versatile tool for live performance and long-play session-view jamming.
Great device, invaluable and unique - it's the only way I can have clips start playing randomly per group without manually creating the follow action every single time I create one, so a live performance must. I also had terrific and fast responses from customer support when I needed help using it.

Longtime user excited to upgrade to the XL version. I can't run a live set without this tool. If you're looking to split the difference between "press play" and "press a million buttons to keep launching clips" this is probably what you need. Basically gives me an arrangement without ever touching the Arrangement view but preserves all the flexibility of Session view. Must have.

This plugin is absolutely essential to anyone using live tracks or seeking flexibility in a setup (whether DJing, Worship, or backing tracks for a band that needs to be able to flow). Not to mention, the customer support is top notch.
Follow Scene & Clip XL by Isotonik Studios
NOW AVAILABLE – FOLLOW SCENE XL, FOLLOW CLIP XL & FOLLOW CLIP / SCENE LE
One of the most requested features of Ableton is the ability to set follow actions that occur at a clip end rather than a predetermined time.
With our MaxforLive devices you can program automatic follow actions at clip end, and you can also trigger them at clip stop, define the clip number to be played next or even switch the Clip follow action to become a Scene follow action.
This device has been very popular with users who run backing tracks in Ableton Live for a Live band, and DJ’s who split full tracks into individual clips to allow for perfect phrasing of their mixes…
Working with both cropped and un-cropped audio you can even simply cue up the next Clip or Scene so that its ready to play.
To make things simple the pack contains separate versions dependent on your use case, Follow Clip works on clips and many can be used in a set with the Follow Actions it creates working solely on the track within which it’s located. Follow Scene on the other hand runs follow actions for scenes (which will also observe changes to signature or BPM if written into the Scene name) and works as a single device in a set controlled buy a click track that contains clips of the length you wish your scenes to run for.
Both give you the ability to write up to 8 additional options into the clip name that can be triggered to play next or immediately.
With each Clip that plays you can additional define up to five other Clips or Scenes that could be triggered at Clip End, these can then be queued up via MIDI giving almost endless possibilities for variety in your live performances.
The final piece of the jigsaw is the ability to set an action in hours, minutes and seconds and apply this to an unwarped clip.

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
