read moreNavigating Live Sets with the External Sequencer Re-Sync Button
The External Sequencer Re-Sync Button 1.0, developed by 2touch, is a Max4Live audio effect designed for Ableton Live users who perform with external sequencers. When you pause or stop sequencers like the Digitakt during a live set, they often lose sync with the global transport, declaring the restarted instant as the downbeat. This device solves that issue by checking for a button press every bar and, if detected, stops and restarts the global transport on the first beat, sending a midi clock start to all connected equipment. This re-synchronizes their sequencers with Ableton Live’s global metronome, making it invaluable when precision timing is critical. While this workaround requires a double-click to activate when MIDI or key-mapped—due to its toggle behavior—it excels in looped sections of a performance, although you should be cautious of jumping sections if follow actions are used. Ideal for performers facing unexpected sync challenges, the External Sequencer Re-Sync Button ensures a cohesive musical performance without missing a beat.
