Changing midi clips on demand

robertoc

Hi all.
I have been playing in a band. Playing live music is very demanding. One needs a lot of practicing. It has been fun though.
Anyhow, I have been using the deluge as a practicing tool. I have made a session for every song we are currently playing. One clip with the song stem and many midi clips as necessary to keep changing the program on the synth I currently use.
In live situations, this setup have been working great, since I am able to change presets on demand (I mapped every midi clip to a keyboard key) and there is no need to use the audio clip (No I don't have a switch pedal and refuse to buy one LOL).
Thing is, whenever I need to practice, changing midi clips when playing along a 7 minutes audio clip, makes the deluge to wait until it's on time... That means changing clips until the end of the audio file.
That audio source, is not on time so it would be a very time consuming to cut it to pieces and make it work.
So my first question is:
Is there a way to switch off said deluge behavior? Meaning, while playing a whole sound file, being able to change midi clips on demand... as in not on time... so I don't need to actually leave the keyboard and push shift + audit button on the deluge.

Just to let you know, I pretend to keep the audio source intact because it is not exactly on time.
