Ableton Forum

Hi there, I am wondering if there is a way I can send a MIDI message, use M4L, or any other method to set the scale tonality and type being used by Push 3 Standalone. Essentially, I know the scale that's best to use to play over about 40 clips I have, and when I trigger them, I wanted to send a mess...

Found myself here after struggling with the same issue - I see External Sync as an option on the MIDI page, but can't seem to turn it on even though I have clock coming in the minijack MIDI in. Oddly, the two port options, "Ableton Push 3 User Port" and "Ableton Push 3 External Port&q...

Is anyone else experiencing a slight sort of ground noise in headphones in standalone with nothing playing? I think I can hear shutdown, too. EDIT: Yes, definitely hear a pretty constant low noise, and then shutdown consistently. There is a quick 3 pulse stutter of noise before shutdown. I also hear...

Hi! I'm using a LUMI Keys (light up two octave MPE) via the Push 3 USB A port in standalone. I want to have a MIDI track with an instance of drift, and have MIDI coming in from the LUMI over USB, but also sending that tracks MIDI out to the LUMI to light up its keys. I can do this with an external i...

Hi! I'm trying to make use of knowing the pitch of a playing track in my Control Surface Remote Script. This kind of thing has been simple on anything with a LOM path, like a dial or number - I observe with a listener and am notified of any param changes. The Tuner however, because it's like Spectru...

Hi - while this sounds like a neat technique, not sure it's applicable to my question.

Anyone have any ideas specifically about how to add clips to a specified clip slot from the browser, to keep live session size lower for sets like mine with (9000!) clips.

Hi there! When I'm DJing in live, I have an enormous set of 1000+ clips. This obviously bloats the session size and makes loading take quite a while (20+ seconds). I'd love it if I could use my controller to add saved clips from the browser to existing tracks. As of now, if I double click a saved cl...

This was a great help, and glad to hear someone else has put a bunch of thought into this. I've just decided to downsample my signal, as I'm not doing LFO or any other modulation that truly necessitates signal rate. I'm running my logic in an external Python app I wrote, which sends commands over OS...

When sending a lot of tempo set api calls, or parameter set calls to Live quickly, sometimes Live updates with a significant lag - it seems like it's getting my messages, then adding them all to a queue that's getting processed when we're back in the UI thread or something. With that observation: 1)...

Thanks!! That's exactly what I wanted.

I'm hoping there is some new API in Max For Live, but I don't have beta access right now.

Would someone be willing to dump the LOM? Or, to peruse around with something like:

and see if there is anything new?

Poke! If you have a moment, I'll be working on this part of my system this weekend and it'd be of great help. Thanks.

Fantastic. I'm really looking forward to seeing it. But, I'd also really like to understand - what does the value Ableton is sending out for output_meter, between 0-1, actually mean? What units is it in? Is it a linear index into a logarithmic (roughly?) lookup table of the dB range of the meter? Ei...

Is anything new? Any new API calls available, or is it not kosher for your to leak that here?

Didn't see a reply, so I installed LiveControl to see what they send out for the TouchOSC display. So for now I'm using this: level = (math.pow(10,level)-1.0)/10.0 To match them in converting what output_meter{left,right} sends to an approximation of what Live's meters display. If anyone who has tri...
