      Hey @Johnny_Simmen!

      Thanks for the Ableton question. I'm so happy to hear you are diving in.

      "Popup" or "dropdown" menus in Ableton work slightly differently than other applications. For these kinds of menus in Pro Tools, I suggest using an "Open & Select Item in Popup Menu" macro action. However, in Ableton, you must use two "Click UI Element" macro actions and the "pick" button to select items. Also, it's important to note a sneaky feature of the "pick" mode – if you hold COMMAND, you can click on elements on the screen without leaving "pick" mode.

      To change warp modes, you will first add a "Click UI Element" macro action and use the "pick" button to select the warp mode drop-down:

      Then, add the second "Click UI Element" macro action, click the "pick" button, and then hold COMMAND to allow you to click your mouse without exiting "pick" mode. Next, click the same warp mode drop-down (with COMMAND held), release the COMMAND modifier, and finally, click the desired warp mode.

      The resulting macro should end up something like this, allowing you to select a warp mode.

      For more on using "pick" in SoundFlow, see this video:
