Hello, i'm using ableton for the live looping with my bass guitar.
I have custom driver (MIDI remote script) for it. But can't access UNDO and CLEAR params.
stdout print for the "
Looper" device parameters:
Code: Select all
@ Device On min[0.0] max[1.0]
@ State min[0.0] max[3.0]
@ Feedback min[0.0] max[1.0]
@ Reverse min[0.0] max[1.0]
@ Monitor min[0.0] max[3.0]
@ Speed min[-36.0] max[36.0]
@ Quantization min[0.0] max[14.0]
@ Song Control min[0.0] max[2.0]
@ Tempo Control min[0.0] max[2.0]
"
State" values: 1 - record; 0 - stop; 2 - play; 3 - overdub;
How can i access UNDO and CLEAR params through the LiveAPI interface???
Help please, its main factor for the Live 7 to Live 8 migration

Hi, sorry for the mild threadjack.... I'm really interested to learn how you got the stdout listing for the loopers parameters, I've just started checking out the LiveAPI - all the online documentation I've seen relates to live 7.
Respect.

MacOS X:
# in the __init__.py
Code: Select all
import sys
sys.stdout = write('/tmp/live-stdout', 'w')
sys.stdout = open('/tmp/live-stderr', 'w')
# in the controller code
# self.current_track - predefined pointer for the current track management.
Code: Select all
looper = None
for dev in self.current_track.devices:
if dev.name == 'Looper':
looper = dev
break
print dir(looper)
for param in looper.parameters:
print '@', param.name, param.min, param.max, param.value
at another console i'm listen for the messages
I'm preparing to announce "Ableton MIDI automatization" tutorial with examples on my homepage/blog.
But video isnt completed yet.

Excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing the video - I really want to get to grips with the whole Live+Python scripting thing .. but I'm a bit too vba to pick it up easily.
Nice 1
