Macro to do live melodic mic sampling

[tommy two tweez]

I am wondering how to do live mic sampling, as AriAtHome does at 6:40 in the following video:

Basically, the workflow he's using appears to be:

1. Punch in a code to a number pad (this presumably invokes some sort of macro or key shortcut within Ableton or else via 3rd party keystroke conversion software? - not sure how that works)
2. Hold down a button on what appears to be a mixer/sequencer/midi controller surface to start recording the vocal sample (this presumably triggers recording of the audio within Ableton)

Example:

- on numpad enter some keystrokes to activate the track in the template (or insert a new one) with the "mic sampler" on it
- press down on record button on the midi control surface
- make fart noise into microphne
- release record button on the midi control surface
- now play tchaikovsky, but with farts


Whole process takes about 3-5 seconds to setup/accompish, with only a number pad and a single button on a midi control surface.

I understand midi mapping and key mapping features in Ableton, as well as Bome Midi Translator. Is this accomplished through careful sequences of keyboard shortcut keys injected into Ableton using Bome? Possibly chained to Ableton key-mapped shortcuts?

So, once the new audio track is selected, something like this:

- Bome triggers recording on a new clip slot on midi control button press
- Bome trigger clip to stop recording on midi controll button release., and then executes a series of keyboard shortcuts which:
--> Load the recorded audio clip into a custom Simpler
--> note: this is the part that I can't figure out

The problem with implementing a Bome script to try and accomplish this with keyboard shortcut emulations only is that there does not seem to be a way to invoke the "show in browser" option for the selected clip without right-clicking. Otherwise, the following shortcuts could be used to plop the recorded clip onto a pre-made simpler

- Bome does <some keyboard shortcut for "show in browser" for selected clip>
- Bome does "Ctrl+F" --> focus on search view in browser
- Bome manually keystrokes to type in name of desired simpler preset instrument rack (e.g. "Mic Simpler")
- Bome does "Enter", thus automatically inserting new midi track with desired Mic Simpler instrument loaded
- Bome does "Alt+5" to get back to browser view
- Bome does "Ctrl+[" to go back in browser history to the sample just recorded
- Bome does "Enter" to insert the audio track onto the simpler loaded



So I guess my question really boils down to this:

How can I invoke equivalent to "right click on selected clip and select 'show in browser' option" either:
- Using only the keyboard shortcuts
- Using Bome mouse commands?
- Note for this to work Bome would need to move mouse pointer to be on top of the presently selected clip

I may have just figured it out, but too late/tired to try. Will report back. My new idea is get Bome to do the following after recording the clip:

- Ctrl+R (to rename selected clip)
- Ctrl+C (to copy the name to clipboard)
- Ctrl+F (to focus on search bar of browser)
- Keystrokes to spell the name of the desired simpler instrument rack (e.g. "Mic Sampler")
- Down arrow (to select the Mic Simpler in the search results)
- Enter (to insert a new midi track into session view containing the Mic Simpler)
- Ctrl+F (to focus on search bar of browser again)
- Ctrl+V (to paste the name of the audio clip from the first two steps)
- Ctrl+Shift+left arrow (to select the auto-appended suffix serial number given to the clip)
- Delete (to delete the suffix from the search term)
- Enter (to complete search)
- Down (to focus search results)
- End (to jump to last search result - aka last clip recorded)
- Enter (to insert this clip as the new clip for the still-focused Mic Simpler instrument we just inserted into session view a few steps ago.


Would that work?
