That is not going to happen I’m afraid. Would rather be working on my own DAW / hardware.
In the below post, I explain how to print OT stems to Ableton. AFAICT, it’s the best you can do in Ableton. In my testing, it works great. There are a couple limitations, which I noted in the post. I imagine any sort of Ableton scripting would need to overcome these limitations, if possible.
Anything better will require @Rusty’s DAW thing.
Limitations
- Manual mutes do NOT really work, because the solo overrides them; however, IIRC, arrangement mutes DO work. I explored some some ways around this, but it seemed to make things much more complicated, so I gave up. For me, it is not a big deal; I can just edit my stems in my DAW to have mutes wherever I need them.
- Ableton does not record received program changes, so you cannot record your OT pattern changes. Use the arranger for changing patterns.
