[Roman Sharov]

amazingretropolis, can you send me the log.txt file (pm or email)? it is located in C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Ableton\Live 9.1.2\Preferences\ on Win7 and somewhere in /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Ableton/Live 9.1.2/ on a Mac

[amazingretropolis]

Right click on Live to "show package contents" then drill down to Contents/App Resources/Midi Remote Scripts and put the folder in there.

amazingretropolis, did you copied both folders (SL_Ultimate_Control and SL_Ultimate_Extra_Device)?

Yes i Did.

[Roman Sharov]

amazingretropolis, try to find the log file, is the only way to determine the problem on the software side
Use Command+Shift+G (Go To Folder) then enter ~/Library/Preferences (Log.txt for 9.1.2 should be in Ableton/Live 9.1.2/)

[amazingretropolis]

alright

Hi Roman,
Thank you for all of your excellent work on SL Ultimate. I modified the SLdevice.py in Ultimate to allow custom device parameters from Ubermap. This is immensely useful when working with Vst plug-ins that have long or meaningless parameter names (ie turns "Filter 1 Envelope Decay" into "Decay" on the LCD). Ubermap's custom bank names for VST parameters already work in SL Ultimate. In SL Plus, could you add something like :

Code: Select all

    def show_device_parameters(self):
        self.update_device_string()
        if self.is_enabled():
            device_string = ' No device selected'
            param_string = ''
            if self._device != None and self._parameter_controls != None:
                for index in range(len(self._parameter_controls)):   
                    if (self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter() != None):
                        if hasattr(self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter(), 'custom_name'):
                        	param_string += self._display._adjust_strip_string(str(self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter().custom_name))
                        else:
                        	param_string += self._display._adjust_strip_string(str(self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter().name))
                    else:
                        param_string += '         '
                        
            self._display.show_message_left(self._device_string, param_string)

    def set_device_values(self):
        if (self.is_enabled() and (self._device != None) and (self._parameter_controls != None)):
            param_names = [ None for x in range(8) ]
            param_values = [ None for x in range(8) ]
            for index in range(len(self._parameter_controls)):
                if (self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter() != None):
                    if hasattr(self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter(), 'custom_name'):
                        param_names[index] = self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter().custom_name                     
                    else:
                    	param_names[index] = self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter().name
                    	#param_values[index] = str(self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter())
                    param_values[index] = unicode(self._parameter_controls[index].mapped_parameter())
            self._display.setup_left_display(param_names, param_values)

in order to allow Ubermap to set custom device parameter names?

This is how the modified Push script integrates Ubermap:

Code: Select all

def _update_parameter_names(self):
        if self.is_enabled():
            params = zip(chain(self.parameter_provider.parameters, repeat(('', None))), self._parameter_name_data_sources)
            for (name, parameter), name_data_source in params:
                # *** Start td modifications ***
                if hasattr(parameter, 'custom_name'):
                    name = parameter.custom_name
                # *** End td modifications ***
                if parameter and parameter.automation_state != AutomationState.none:
                    name = consts.CHAR_FULL_BLOCK + name
                name_data_source.set_display_string(name or '')

        return None

phyxia, thanks for suggestion. I'm not familiar with Ubermap, but there is no problem to add support for it. Also SLPLus uses DisplayDataSource objects instead of custom display functions like show_device_parameters in SLUltimate, so it will be very easy to do.

+1 for the ubermap support, worth having a look into it. Displays custom parameter and bank names - very useful.

Very impressed by controls & workflow expected with SL Plus.
Hope to see it soon in action...
