Push2 - user button

Post by musiklipp » Tue Jun 14, 2016 7:59 am

Hi,

i´m working on the following project:
I want to use the user-button to grab only some elements/components of the push for custom assignment while leaving the rest of the push in the normal mode.

I manage to grab the user-button and to use it to grab and release for example the Track_State_Buttons (the ones underneath the encoders).
the problem is:
Once I grabbed the Track_State_Buttons I can´t read out the values they are sending. I was hoping in Midi, but I can´t assign the Midi messages to anything. the midi-in-indicator in live is flashing green when I press a key, but it seems Live blocks the outgoing midi-messages from pus because "officially" i´m still in normal mode, and not in user mode.
Everything is set up in a way that I can assign buttons to functions in live when i´m really in user-mode.

I also failed in reading out the values from the Track_State_Buttons. I can do it with the user-button... not sure why it works there and not on the Track_State_Buttons...

Any ideas?

How can I copy the code from M4L??

Thanks,
Karsten

Have you tried using a live.observer? Set it up the same as you have the live.object to grab/release the track_state_buttons, even when they are grabbed the live.observer should output their values.
