Push 3, automate audio clip parameters ?

[chapelier fou]

Like Pitch and Gain, is it possible from Push 3 ?

[[jur]]

Nope.

…no comment !

Well, reading the M4L LOM file I see that both gain and pitch (coarse and fine) can be controlled by a live.object. So I guess that, even without having tried this, the answer is “yes”.

I’ll have a look and I will try to create a M4L test device.

You're a live/life saviour......

[AlexDLarge]

I already have the M4L device created for controlling pitch and gain. How can I attach files in the forum? I can't seem to find the "Attach" option ...

Sure Pitch and Gain have been available for a long time (check this device), but to automate the Pitch/Gain, you would need one M4L instance for each clip you want to automate which imo isn't a great option.

[AlexDLarge]

I haven’t tried yet, but I guess one instance of a gain and pitch controller per track could be enough to automate all the clips in that track. So although is not a super clean solution to have one instance per track, at least I think it’s an option.

[[jur]]

Nope, you'll need one instance per clip.
In your M4L device, you'd have one Gain and one Pitch knobs. These would be the automatable parameters, right?
They would be "mapped" to your clip's gain and pitch to "automate" them. Let's say you automate the M4L device which controls "Clip A" and the automations are written in "Clip A". Cool.
Now, if you create new automation curves in "Clip B", which clip's gain/pitch will be controlled? Answer: still "Clip A" because that's what the M4L device is mapped to.

That's a general "problem". Several people have made some "one knob controls the currently selected parameter" M4L devices. It's useful in many situations, but it's not usable for writing automations, exactly because the controlled (i.e "potentially" automated) parameter is always changing. If you create an automation for this "one knob control", the automation will control something else every time you select another parameter.

[AlexDLarge]

I understand this, but could a dynamic parameter mapping be created?. That is, by detecting the clip that is running, the automated parameters mapper could automatically switch to the running clip. The device would update automatically and the mapping too. A live.object or a live.remote could be used, sending an "id 0" beforehand to release the previous mapping and update the ID. new to the newly selected clip.
In any case, I've only been programming in M4L for a short time, so maybe I'm saying something stupid. I'll try to make time to see if I can create what I have in mind.

[chapelier fou]

It was a genuine question about doing this natively from Push.
That said, the discussion about the possibility of doing this with M4L and parameter automation is quite interesting ! I'm too stupid to answer the question without actually trying to patch it...
So let's prove it's possible...or the contrary

There is no attach option. But for Max devices, there is a simple way to share things.
Select everything in your patch (or the parts you want to share), click the Edit menu, and select Copy Compressed.
Then paste the copied code here, preferably between code tags.
We can then paste this code into an empty Max patch.

For all other things, you need to host the file elsewhere (for example, DropBox) and share the link here.

[chapelier fou]

Well.
It's indeed somehow doable. I mean, you can have one single knob that will target the transposition of the playing clip. See the example below.

You can't use live.remote~, so timing will be not accurate, undo will be filled, etc, etc...

As a side note, I just realized something obvious : there is no soft arm with audio tracks, I think it's a shame that you have to hard arm the track to record automation.

As a side note, I just realized something obvious : there is no soft arm with audio tracks, I think it's a shame that you have to hard arm the track to record automation.

Yes it's very annoying, and that's a consequence of the missing Pref>Record/warp/Launch "Record Session automation in ... armed track(s)/all tracks" feature on P3S. We'd need this to be added in the Settings, and set it to "all tracks" (just like in Live).
