Ableton/Live/UG/08 Clip View/02 Main Clip Properties Panel/01 Clip and Loop Region Settings
- The region and loop decide what plays when a clip launches. An unlooped clip plays from start to end, or until stopped.
- Type start and end values, or press Set Start and Set End during playback to set them at the playhead, quantized to global quantization. Warped audio shows bars-beats-sixteenths; unwarped audio shows minutes-seconds-milliseconds.
- The Clip Loop toggle loops the clip over Loop Position and Length, which defaults to the whole clip. Audio clips must be warped to loop.
- During playback, Set Loop Position moves the loop start to the playhead and turns looping on; Set Loop Length then ends the loop at the playhead, capturing a loop on the fly. With looping off, Set Loop Length ends the loop at the playhead keeping its length, and turns looping on.
- All of these can be MIDI mapped, for example a rotary encoder that walks the loop through a sample by the quantization step.
