How To Reorder Your Ableton Live Set (WITHOUT plugins or copy & paste)

You’ve spent all this time building a beautiful set in Ableton…only to have the song order change last minute. What do you do?

You don’t need to pay money for a plugin. You don’t need to copy and paste and stress about losing your locators.

This one trick will have you reordering your set faster than your guitar player can spend $100 on a new Reverb pedal.

What is it? Key assignments and mapping to a MIDI controller. Watch the video to see how it’s done.

another option you could do is with the IAC driver and midi map the NEXT track to change your set list how you want, a little effort but worth it and no need for plugins. ie: after song 1 the next track is mapped to go to song 8 etc...

Great video thank you so much! I’m looking for an option to create a playlist and have a midi foot controller on stage that would have only one or two button, and that would automatically jump and play to the next song.. hard to find a workaround
