Ableton/Live/UG/16 Launching Clips/03 Legato Mode

• 16.3 Legato Mode

  • 
  • A clip in Legato Mode takes over the play position of whatever clip was playing in its track, so you can switch between looping clips at any moment without losing sync, even with quantization off.
  • Useful for breaks: drop into an alternative loop and jump back.
  • Switching between clips that play different samples may drop out, because Live jumps to a part of the file it hasn't preloaded. Clip RAM Mode avoids this.
