Scene Setlist Monitor for Ableton Live

More people moving to use Ableton Live’s Session View for running their songs and setlist. Especially since Ableton Live 11 new Scene Follow feature one can make perfect use of the flexibility. You can now even chop up parts of one song into scenes and change orders of them dynamically or have them looped if needed.

If each song is cut up into x scenes and if you have quite a lot of songs and scenes in your Ableton Live set it can become a little difficult to navigate. The Scene Setlist device can solve this.

It shows a list of names of user specified Scenes in a menu. This menu can be scrolled through via a MIDI dial or songs can be selected quickly.
