Launch song parameters commands at song begin
This feature is based on the "song mode" feature.
I would like to define song parameters by configuration.
When a song starts, I would like ableton to automatically run a configurable list of commands setting song related parameters : bpm, signature and other user-specific parameters.
I suggest a global parameter editable by the user for the definition of song parameters:
SONGPARAMETERSFORMAT=BPM,TRANSPOSE,SIGNATURE,KEYBPATH,FXPATCH,DRM_PATH
In this list BPM and SIGNATURE are Ableton standards. The others are related to external instruments.
For each song I defined the value for each parameter:
SONG1PARAMETERS=110,3,6/4,101,12,3
SONG2PARAMETERS=120,-2,4/4,103,17,2
To execute this parameters, I use Clyphx syntax :
SONGPARAMETERSCOMMAND=BPM ${BPM};SIG ${SIGNATURE} ,[]USERSONGACTION ${TRANSPOSE} ${SIGNATURE} ${KEYBPATH} ${FXPATCH} ${DRM_PATH}
When the song cue is reached, the Clyphx command is executed.
Note : cut/paste song to sort them on the arrangement mode is hell!! It cannot be done because Ableton does cut cues with arrangement clips. Even, if it would be posible, definind a song order appears to me much more usable.

I also proposed a more general solution as easy-macro-command. -

In general, features in Arsenal typically relate to the function of physical controls. Features that fall outside of those bounds likely wouldn't be practical to include in Arsenal. So, yes, I think this request would be better suited to ClyphX. For that reason, I'm closing this request. You can add ClyphX-related requests here:

Yes, you are right.
But it is in some ways related to an arsenal features under review :
