MIDI Remote Script "SelectedTrackControl" is open source now

Post by wiffbi » Fri May 28, 2010 2:37 pm

Hi,

I finally updated my beloved SelectedTrackControl with lots more features. This MIDI Remote Script allows to control the currently selected track in Live with the same MIDI messages – so e.g. the same button on your controller doesn't toggle one track’s mute-button, but always the mute button of the track that is selected.

There are quite a few controls that can be applied to the current track: mute, solo, arm, volume, pan, monitoring mode and sends 1-4 are currently supported. Also freely controling tempo with MIDI CC, moving loop-braces, etc.

Furthermore some global navigation controls are implemented as well such as navigating the session view (of course already possible, but you had to manually prepare each Live-set for your controller), triggering clips (especially actions such as triggering the next available clip – so if after your currently selected clipslot you have some empty ones and then another clip you want to trigger, that is exactly what this does. This is especially useful when jamming/recording in session view, as - if the track is armed - it selects the next empty clipslot to record into).

Have a look at the MIDI implementation charts to see what is there:

I release this MIDI Remote Script under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License, so everyone can have a play with it and change it to its liking.

Check it out on github: http://github.com/wiffbi/Selected_Track_Control
or download the packed zip-file from http://github.com/wiffbi/Selected_Track ... /downloads

I hope you like it!



P.S.: There is an accompanying app (sorry, currently Mac-only) that transforms global keyboard shortcuts into MIDI messages specially designed for this MIDI Remote Script. This allows for lots of keyboard shortcuts in Ableton Live that otherwise would not be possible. Have a look what’s there at http://stc.wiffbi.com/midi-implementation-chart.html
