Disable/Remove scene launch button with custom script?

Post by lukeis » Mon Jan 13, 2025 1:11 pm

Hi, originally posted it in Push3 but I think this is the correct place

I would like to disable/remove the Scene Launch Button to avoid accidental Scene Launches

Would that be possible with a custom script? My knowledge is limited on that matter

Thanks a lot
Best

I guess you could grab them with max for live, that would disable them.

Actually that's a great idea, I made that exact device for Coldplay when they wanted to do the same for half the buttons on a launchpad...

Cheers

Simply need to have a control surface selector option then grab the buttons you want at start up....

I genuinely don’t know if it’s a joke or not….

I have no idea how to achieve this. I only have my Macbook and the Push3. Could you give me more details?

You'd need to learn MaxforLive, then work with the Live Object Model.
