i do NOT understand why NOBODY get's this... maybe i just do not explain it right. I get your idea, I thought of something similar a few years ago. It is possible to implement in Ableton Live, fussy to setup but will work. As you can assign any audio clip on any track to midi note triggers you could just assign the elements of the verse for example to a group of midi notes and then using a midi controller group the note on commands for these notes together. Then when you hit the group key your verse will play and when in record mode will come into the arrangement at the point you play the note. And so on for chorus etc. All the effects you are using will still be there on the respective clips audio tracks. Is this what you meant? Seems to be a workable solution to me. Dom
