Live 9 MIDI Remote Scripts revealed...

[julienb]

If you're interested in Python (i.e. developing custom scripts, etc.) but don't know where to start, there is a 7 week course on Coursera starting April 13th

Can't vouch for the quality, but it's a good place to start

I'm okay myself and I almost hate python, but that seems to be totally interesting!

I like Monty Python.

Thanks a lot for that Julien ! I was bummed that my modified MackieControl script for the nanoKontrol 2 was not working anymore on Live 9, and now I can make one from your decompyled version.

As for Python, I never studied it and only used it when modifying Live scripts, but being a developer, it's quite easy to just modify an existing script to make it work the way I want.

[julienb]

hackers and people using custom MIDI controller, you can find here everything you need to know to make your custom scripts
I don't teach python, btw.

http://julienbayle.net/ableton-live-9-m ... te-scripts

This will be the only URL remaining on my website.

[deeflash]

Using the decompiled scripts, I generated the documentation for them similar to what was available for the 8.2.2 scripts on Hanz's site.

Let the midi hacking begin!

Some News.

1/ Some Live Objects Doc
I dumped some Live API Python Objects while Live was running.
Docs are here: http://julienbayle.net/ableton-live-9-m ... s/#liveAPI


2/ Native Scales of Push Scripts

MUSICAL_MODES =
['Major', [0,2,4,5,7,9,11],
'Minor', [0,2,3,5,7,8,10],
'Dorian', [0,2,3,5,7,9,10],
'Mixolydian', [0,2,4,5,7,9,10],
'Lydian', [0,2,4,6,7,9,11],
'Phrygian', [0,1,3,5,7,8,10],
'Locrian', [0,1,3,4,7,8,10],
'Diminished', [0,1,3,4,6,7,9,10],
'Whole-half', [0,2,3,5,6,8,9,11],
'Whole Tone', [0,2,4,6,8,10],
'Minor Blues', [0,3,5,6,7,10],
'Minor Pentatonic', [0,3,5,7,10],
'Major Pentatonic', [0,2,4,7,9],
'Harmonic Minor', [0,2,3,5,7,8,11],
'Melodic Minor', [0,2,3,5,7,9,11],
'Super Locrian', [0,1,3,4,6,8,10],
'Bhairav', [0,1,4,5,7,8,11],
'Hungarian Minor', [0,2,3,6,7,8,11],
'Minor Gypsy', [0,1,4,5,7,8,10],
'Hirojoshi', [0,2,3,7,8],
'In-Sen', [0,1,5,7,10],
'Iwato', [0,1,5,6,10],
'Kumoi', [0,2,3,7,9],
'Pelog', [0,1,3,4,7,8],
'Spanish', [0,1,3,4,5,6,8,10]]

Basically, you can add scales and use them with Push
COOL.

Do you know how to force Ableton 9 to reload MIDI Remote Scripts without restarting?

Early versions of the beta and Live 8 would reload scripts every time they were deselected and reselected. Now you have to restart. Very tedious.

[julienb]

Digging...

No i didn't find a way (yet)

[SBRK]

What is the difference between song.tracks and song.visible_tracks ? I noticed that in the MackieControl script, every occurence of song.tracks was replaced by song.visible_tracks.

[Coupe70]

someone hand this over to stray, hanz & co.

Stray already released a new version of ClyphX covering all
new Live 9 features !

[julienb]

Some guys believe it is a race.
Obviously, I don't run into it.

Just hope to be helpful for some.

[f.poce@tiscali.nl]

To whom it may concern, I posted an updated version of Hanz Petrov's APC_64_40 compatible with Live 9 (new surface name "APC_64_40_9").
Please be aware this version works only with Live 9 as it makes use of the new _Framework. It does not work in Live 8 (the original does).

You can find it here as a free download: http://www.fabriziopoce.com/download.html

PS: Hanz knows about this update.

Cheers
Fabrizio

hello Julien
I've tried the uncompiled script for push (naming the folder downloaded from gitHub "Pushmod" and pasting it in the remote midi script folder) but it doesn't work.
I'm on a 10.6.8 MAC OSX
here is an extract of the log file:

I should use the same folder name and more rename PushOld and use Push as the test running one.
I did that only and that works.

Let me know ..
