See what's going on with your live set
Very cool plugin. Really handy to see what songs/sections of songs are coming up next and program notes for people to see. And I think it's great that you can display the interface on iPads, too. I've set it up to run at my church. I've only had it a week so far (one Sunday), but I quite enjoyed using it and look forward to using it more.
Visual display; Mac & iPad compatibility
Selecting a section in the Setlist doesn't seem to launch that section but merely select it.

Amazing tool for playing Live ! Love the fact the window can be set on another display or stay on the top. Very much needed plugin for Live Session
Easy to set. Genius idea
The restrictions in character and we can really size the windows. I would need more setting for the fonts, font size.

Love this already and I've barely gotten it set up. Great companion to Follow XL. One thing I've always struggled with using Follow is being able to see where I am if I mess up a button press on one of the more complicated follow actions, squinting at the screen which I try not to look at most of the time. This makes it really easy, and I can show myself instructions when I have to do something unusual that I will probably forget when I haven't played that song in a while. Pretty stoked to try the ipad thing too which will probably be even better for visibility.
Scene Setlist by Ableton Drummer
Just the same as Ableton Live the “Scene Setlist Monitor” can be used in very different contexts. Playback operations for bands, live-electro performances, art installations – you name it. The Scene Setlist Monitor might give you new ideas on how to set things up and enjoy making and perform music with Ableton Live even more.
SCENE SETLIST CONCEPT
The Scene Setlist Monitor device can display names and colors from scenes, clip notes and a selection of scenes which you set as starting scenes for songs. This will be shown in a pop-up window which can be resized and positioned to your needs. You can customize the display of scenes, notes, colors and the opacity for this window.
You can also monitor the remaining playtime of the currently playing scene, meaning how many bars are left until the scene has played to its end.
If needed, names of the former scene or of the next scenes (up to 3) can be displayed in the monitoring pop-up window.
SET UP
The Scene Setlist Monitor device needs to be placed on a MIDI track. Every scene on this MIDI track needs to have a MIDI clip so that the device is able to detect which scene is playing. Those clips need to be set to the right ‘scene-length’ bar time to be able to monitor it.
The MIDI clips can be re-named with the text you want to have displayed as “Clip Notes”.
IPAD VERSION
Within the download there is an iPad version of this device available, this enables your iPad to display scene names, song starting scenes (a “Setlist”), clip notes and more on an iPad. For this you would need an app called MIRA which is available to purchase separately from the Apple Store (please check if your iPad is compatible with this app). As this is a second device you would be able to have different “Clip Notes” set up and displayed e.g. this way another musician you play with could get different notes.
ALSO AVAILABLE: KORG VOLCA DRUM EDITOR | DRUMRACK TOGGLE | COLLECTION ONE | GLOBAL MIDI MAP PRESETS

Important Information
V1.0.0 – Initial Release – March 2022
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.
