Live 9.5 question

Post by oddstep » Wed Nov 04, 2015 7:58 am

A couple of the promo videos have someone record some audio in (either a break from vinyl or a couple of chords from a guitar) and then a button is pressed on push II and the audio clip appears inside a simpler. How does this happen? I've been lookin through the api and I can't work it out. Any knowledge/guesses out there?

I believe the function is called "convert" on the Push 2 videos I've seen. They make it look quite handy. Maybe check out the promo videos again? (:

It's demonstrated in the following video also:

Wow, well spotted.
This is something that would change a lot of things in my workflow. I'd like to see what happens on the computer screen : does it create a new track or does it change the track's nature ?
Anyway, i want to do this without Push.
Abes ?

It creates a new track, at the moment you have to manually drag th clip to a simpler if you use the laptop interface.

Yeah... but because it's achieved through a button push on a class compliant usb 2 device, logically it's got to be somewhere in the api/implemented through the push remote script.
The new simpler can have its waveform reversed by an api call BTW.

I have no idea how that works or if they will open it up in the future, just telling you how it is at the moment.

Yep, waiting for the API path for this. If someone could please tell ?
