Drift Device doesn't provide name and is_active properties

Post by giohappy » Sun Jun 11, 2023 8:53 pm

The Drift instrument returns the following error when queried for "name" or "is_ative" properties

Code: Select all

live.object: 'DriftDevice' object has no attribute 'is_active'
.

"get name" and "get is_asctive" work as expected with any other instrument or device.

Is it me or it's a bug in the lates Ableton?

Yeah, using the API Browser device from Build Mas Devices pack shows that Drift has none of the properties nor functions other devices have, and it is not just part of the Device class like others, but rather has its own class "DriftDevice".

I assume it is simply unfinished and they already know it needs an update, but you probably should report it anyways.
