Thanks, @Crampe. Yeah, I love that feature and really want it on the Push 3 Standalone too. This is basically just a stopover; it’s already working for me on the current beta firmware.
I have now also completed a first draft of the manual. You can find it at: https://www.panta-flux.com/en/products/move4live/manual/
@ boink, I’m glad it works. Haha, the #tag approach was actually at the start of my journey, until I realized that since Live 12.2(?), the tagging system has undergone—and is still undergoing—a complete overhaul, meaning backward compatibility would no longer be guaranteed.
But adding more user-defined sound pools (e.g., custom directories, custom combinations of categories and tags) instead of or in combination with the current categories is on my to-do list. I just need to find the time to implement the whole thing reasonably securely.
Hi boink,

I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to achieve.

You can already enable or disable any slot toggles (orange squares) for instrument tracks, return tracks and the mastering chain.

The way I’ve been using the tool since the prototype is as follows:
• I build a starting session with all four instrument tracks enabled in “Replace” mode.
• I keep two or three of these tracks and disable all instrument slots on Move4Live except one, as well as all return slots (and the mastering chain, which I usually have disabled anyway).
• I choose a sound category an press the “Move It!” pentagon to add one new track.
• If I like the preset, I keep the track; if not, I click “Reroll” for that slot and let the system assign a different random preset to the track.

This way, you can gradually add as many instrument tracks or return tracks as you like – always one (or up to four instruments and up to two effects) at a time.
