However, when Live it set to Follow Action mode (ie, play scenes from top to bottom) the scene BPM is ignored and everything is played at the tempo specified in the first scene.
I must be doing something wrong? Surely this is possible

In Ableton if you include the BPM in the name of the scene it will ignore the master tempo and use what is specified. This works a treat when clicking through the scenes manually.
However, when Live it set to Follow Action mode (ie, play scenes from top to bottom) the scene BPM is ignored and everything is played at the tempo specified in the first scene.

I presume its because follow actions are set for individual clips, and scenes works on multiple clips. If follow actions followed scene tempo you could end up with multiple clips playing at different tempos. I've not really thought about it before. Why do you want follow actions to follow scene tempos?

To oversimplify it for purposes of explanation let's say I have a track in scene 1 playing at 120BPM and a seperate track in scene 2 at 130BPM I want the BPM to increase once the follow action command moves the scene to track 2.
Edit: worded badly but I think you'll understand.

Problem solved. The Isotonik solution would surely do what I wanted but after researching it further I stumbled onto EBC 'Easy BPM Control'. Cost me a fiver and works exactly how I want in a very simple and clean manner.
Add it to a MIDI track, rename the clip and the entire scene follows that tempo. It can either jump immediately or ramp up. It's perfect!

Took me a few minutes to get to work due to the complete lack of interface. There is literally nothing other than a logo.thecontrolcentre wrote: Fri May 15, 2020 8:06 am That looks cool ... really handy for playing live from the session view. Useful for DJ sets too ...
Mistake 1) The clip needs to be named, not the scene
Mistake 2) It needs a space in between XXX and BPM.
