Build and fire scenes

Say it like this

Each of these was run against a real Ableton session on every model below, and the reply is what Tine actually said — quoted, not rewritten. Switch tabs to see how the answer changes with the model.

These are a floor, not a syntax — you can be a good deal vaguer, and how vague scales with the model you run. The smaller local model wants a clear verb and a clear target; the hosted one takes the most roundabout phrasing you can throw at it.

Also in arrangement

• Copy a Session clip into the Arrangement

  Take the loop you've been jamming on and place it on the timeline at the bar you name.

• Move and repeat clips on the timeline

  Shift a section to a different bar, or repeat it across the next eight — the block-moving part of arranging, spoken.

• Set the arrangement loop

  Loop the section you're working on by naming its bars, instead of dragging the loop brace to them.
