I now understand how grab_midi works : the live.object connected to the push returns received_midi messages.
But unfortunately it's doesn't give more than the grab_control --> Button_Matrix method :
it returns only notes, without any mpe data.

here is an audio effect M4L device with a stripped ...

googling around looking for useful doc, I just found your video

I use Live since many years, and I always missed this basic feature :
being able to playback a loop sound file without warping it.
I mean : with no time stretch, no pitch shifting ; just playing the whole sound file, looped.
(actually, when warp is disabled : loop is disabled as well...)

Mr Ableton, please say something !

Live 8.1.5 b1 : same problem...

Should we consider this as the new official color scheme ?

when I get property "color" of a clip, the color code returned by Live.API has changed since Live 8.1.4 ;
for ex, in Live 8.1.3 (and previous versions), first clip color code (red) was 9571075 ; now in 8.1.4, it is 15549221.

The color code used in previous Live version used to match the color code ...

The best way to observe a large number of properties without tears is via the JS API object. My APC40 observer patch went from a nasty 160 odd voice poly~ to about 10 lines of code.

We hope to have some more examples of this in the not too distant future.
