I want to have a .txt file that would include the lyrics and chords open automatically with each song I play on Ableton.
One thought I had was to use an empty track and record a MIDI message, say a note on message. Then when that track plays the output of that track would go to MidiPipe.
I use MidiPipe and am pretty familiar with it. I have been studying Applescript for the last few days and haven't got far on it. Could I use an Applescript in MidiPipe to call up a certain file in another app?
I could renumber my .txt files so that, for example, a MIDI note number of 088 would call up a .txt file called "088 Love Shack".
How would you write that in Applescript and MidiPipe?
