Hey, I finally turned the alpha-preview into a full version 1.2.9, which is available for download now und compatible with Live 9. http://stc.wiffbi.com/download/ Hope you like it. P.S.: A litte user-requested feature made it into the release as well: master volume control. MIDI CC 80 (rel2comp) or ...

@Ittai: which MIDI command are you sending? You need to use "fire next scene", which is Note 40 (E1).

1°) I don't know how to exactly how to get the color of the script. I already saw the LMO but I'm a newbie with python, so I progress slowly. So I'm looking for some code exemple. What do you mean by color of the "script" - I assume you mean "clip". A clip has a color property a...

Looking at existing scripts is actually the way to go – that is how I learned it. The _Framework-Classes changed from Live 8 to 9, but for a start I would not recommend the _Framework anyway, because it is an abstraction further from the API itself. To get going, simpler, less abstract calls to the ...

Regarding Live 9: I only had the chance to have a short play with the demo. Selected_Track_Control (the MIDI Remote Script) had issues with its solo kill / mute kill feature, but other than that, it worked – at least in my short test. Kimidi (the Mac app that converts keystrokes to MIDI) also worked...

@bigmonster: makes sense, but unfortunately STC currently does not support MIDI-Feedback in its current form. So regarding your question I have to say: sadly no. I am working (currently more off than on) on an update to STC, that uses the _Framework-Classes, which support MIDI-Feedback. But I can’t ...

@nc2010: alongside STC comes a little app called Kimidi – it transforms keyboard shortcuts into MIDI commands, which then can be interpreted by Live and STC. Kimidi is only available for Mac OS X though. Have a look at the following website. You need to download both, Kimidi and STC (right column, t...

@bigmonster7: For MIDI Remote Scripts you need some basic understanding of Python to get started. Object-oriented features or at least how classes work in Python are important – just so know what to look for. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Non-Programmer%27s_Tutorial_for_Python_2.6 http://learnpythont...

@bigmonster7: sorry, I was away from the internet for the holidays. Currently, what you describe is not possible with STC. The functionality is basically the "red-box"-feature of a controller like the APC40, etc. I do have plans for an update to STC, which is largely based on the API _Fram...

@vo1k1mix: according to the docs, dis/enabling a send is not possible via API. There is a property "is_enabled" per send available, but that is read only. So currently, you cannot disable a send via MIDI / API.

You can access a clip’s color via the API, so yes, it is possible with just Remote Scripts (note, this documentation page is for the Live Object Model, which is available to all Remote Scripts, not just M4L): http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/m4l-ref/m4l_live_object_model.html#Clip The thing m...

@Flobo 3000: It seems, that the Remote SL sends its relative MIDI CC in a different encoding. Can you try and manually map one of the encoders in Live’s MIDI mapping mode to e.g. the pan-knob in mixer and see, what Live says in the lower left corner when you rotate the encoder while in MIDI map mode...

bartend7 and sounddevisor, this STC thing... am I to understand correctly that basically, it turns midi messages into key commands? Does it have to be running in order for the midi messages to be turned into key commands? Or does it somehow teach Ableton to recognize them? Any effect on stability? ...

Meant to say - Did you catch the missing "unfold group" that isnt in your midi implementation list (but youve programmed)? Definitely one of my favourite commands. Also - one thing I noticed using navigate tracks - Ableton 8.2.8 wouldnt "scroll" with the selected track. Meaning,...

@moonpie: I updated to STC 1.2.8 and fixed the scrub/rewind bug as well as added dedicated commands for stop, play and continue playing: Note 27 (D#0) stop playing Note 28 (E0) start playing Note 29 (F0) continue playing I have not yet managed to get the continuous scrolling working, but I have put ...
