Topic: Metadata from VDJ to Ableton

Using the link plugin I've managed to sync Ableton as a slave to the VDJ bpm.

If I want also to drive what goes on in Ableton, as in load a different Ableton Live set, and use that arrangement to complement the current track, thru what means would the messages be sent from VDJ to Ableton? I've looked at POIs, but I'm thinking there needs to be a general meta data exchange that you can decipher on the Ableton end, that would be specifically matched from the VDJ source at the track level. So when it's finally work, track x would load Ableton set Y, and complement the track with different arrangement backgrounds, created specifically for that track.

So each VDJ track in a mix, would have a custom Ableton arrangement, that during playback different points in track x, would trigger different arrangement parts in Ableton set Y to complement the track, all the while, keeping the beats sync'd across the link plugin.

I'm not sure if this is solved via plug-in, but thought I'd start here. Apologies if it's in the wrong part of the community.

Kindest Regards,
Grant Fitz
