Ableton Forum

Hello Forum, right now I try to send a midi-CC message to the external midi-device of the current midi-track using a 'Midi Remote Script' (in python). I can manage to get to the name (and port) of the current device using: cur_track = self.song().view.selected_track cur_midi_device = cur_track.curre...

Thanks a lot for your answer! That's it: It's a while since I looked at this, but I think I remember the first value is the note grid value (5 is 16ths I think), the second value is the amount of quantisation. So 0.7 = quantise by 70% The int-value of 5 beeing 16ths was doing the trick. Guessing tha...

Hello forum, I've been playing around with midi remote scripts for a while and I grew to be quit happy with the results so far. There's just one thing, I can't get under control: I want a clip to be quantized 'by a press of a button' (for example to quickly fix, if I mess up doing finger-druming), b...

Thanks for your answer! I'm sorry, if I didn't give enough context. The idea of a 'triggering LFO' comes from using Ableton in a performance context and once this works, of course I'd like to modulate the LFO in realtime. The reason to prefer doing it without M4L is, that I don't have it installed a...

There's something, I'm scratching my head about: Is it possible to trigger a Sample by a LFO in a way, so that there's a Sample played each time the oscillator hits the maximum value (possibly a square wave type). So when modulating the frequency of the LFO, the playback-rate of the Sample is adjust...

I'm using Windows most of the time. I've already considered using a virtual midi port to 'tunnel' the foot-pedal CC to my script, but I thought I wouldn't gain anything, since I'd had to run a seperated program to create to virtual port/midi filter. So maybe just two scripts inside Ableton (the one ...

Thank you very much for your reply Yaman29! Yes, I know "Selected Track Control", but I didn't find a solution there. Still you showed me the right way in an 'earlier version' of your reply mentioning the "Mackie Control" script (more precise: the function __select_track(self) in...

########################## Update ###################### By now, I've been pretty happy with my results coding a remote script for my master keyboard. But now, I've hit two problems. I hope you don't consider it spam, when I keep posting my litte problems in here. 1st Problem: find a "select Tr...

Okay, I've found a workaround. I don't use set_arm_button() of ViewControlComponent anymore, but used the Live-API instead: selected_track = self._transport.song.view.selected_track name = selected_track.name name_prev = self._current_track.name if selected_track.can_be_armed: if self._current_track...

Die hellrote Farbe des Arm-Button lässt darauf schließen, dass die "Auto-Arm"-Funktion bei dir aktiviert ist. Entweder du kannst das am Launchkey deaktivieren, oder dieses Video könnte dir weiterhelfen: https://sonicbloom.net/de/ableton-live-insider-tips-options-txt-part-7-automatic-track-...

Thanks for all your helpful answers. I still find it difficult to find any information about remote scripts. Right now I have the following problem: I'm trying to use four buttons to navigate through tracks and scenes, so I can arm (or solo, or mute) the selected track. For this I'm using ./ableton/...

Hello forum! :) I've spent some time tying to learn how to write Midi Remote Scripts using Python with Ableton 10. For that matter, I've learned most of the things by "Try & Error", this awesome tutorial about _Framework (remotescripts.blogsport.com) and this API Documentation (www.str...
