MIDI Remote Scripts sending clip color information?

[jschunick]

Hi. I am wondering if there is any way to send the value of a clip's color to a midi device that is connected via Remote Script? I know it can be done with Max4Live and I have seen it done before using OSC and an iPad. However, is it possible to send this information to a device using just MIDI Remote Scripts?

You can use this API command in M4L to obtain a 0x00RRGGBB value corresponding to the highlighted clips color: live_set view highlighted_clip_slot clip

Can you call this command in a remote script?

What I would like to do is send the 0x00RRGGBB information to a MIDI device using just Remote Scripting, so a user does not have to have Max4Live or use third party OSC applications.


Thanks in advance

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):

The thing missing, is how to send the RGB value over MIDI. I assume some MIDI SysEx magic? Btw. you cand send MIDI bytes in Remote scripts using the c_instance.send_midi function.

Could you create a look up table that created midi note RGB value pairs.

What hardware will display the colors ?

Thanks for the help so far everyone!

So from what I understand, anything that is in the LiveAPI written here can be accessed via remote script? http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages ... .html#Clip

I am kind of new to python and remote scripting, how would I call the clip color command (i think its this: live_set view highlighted_clip_slot clip)

As to how I would send the information to my device, I was thinking I would send the clip color information over a custom sysex message.

For those asking what device would display the colors, its for a custom controller I am building.

Thanks everyone!

Hi. ive been wondering if its possible to send a different value out once a clip has played.
If it is possible to send a different value out for clip colour this would work in conjunction with the change clip clolour max device. can anybody help?
