Track Clip Listener (TCL)

The Track Clip Listener is a bi-directional engine that links Ableton Live to OSC surfaces like TouchOSC.

Unlike static mapping, TCL creates a Dynamic Grid that sends real-time feedback (Clip Names, Colors, Playing Position, Metering) to your tablet. It supports both Session View clips and Arrangement View clips simultaneously.

Key Features

  • Dynamic Window: Move your “Grid” (e.g., 8x8) around the Session View using navigation actions.
  • Bi-Directional: Tap a button on TouchOSC to launch a clip; Live sends the new color and playing state back instantly.
  • Hybrid View: Slot 0 on your remote always shows the Arrangement Clip, allowing you to control linear arrangement clips alongside your session loops.
  • Follow Modes: The grid can automatically follow the currently playing scene or track.
