Python MIDI remote scripts' documentation ...

[Hielo Patagonia Sounds]

When will Ableton team publish an official full documentation about Python remote scripts instead of leaving your customers in the "dark". This attitude about this specific aspect of Live is quite annoying and ridiculous. As a long time customer (since 2004), I start to be really upset about this !



And most the informations on the internet about this subject are in-accurate since the v9.1 release : some v8 script's syntaxes have changed, the framework has evolved. I've spent several days studying the scripts and could not even make working a very basic script - STOP and PLAY button ...

These 2 small scripts below are not working and generate some compilation problems (seen in the log.txt file in the preferences folder).

Code: Select all

#__init__.py
