[Last update -Oct 03, 2006]
Hello, all.
I have updated the mousewheel script for Live 6. You can get it here.
Here's what's new:
- works with Live 6
- more robust focus detection
- more useful behavior in the browser pane
Comment are welcome.
Enjoy!

I love how this script allows you to scroll in the Session View. But i'm not getting it to work as a zoom in the Arrange view at all. I am using the default live 5.03 skin. Any suggestions?
Also, if I double-click the script (not the EXE), I get an error message at Line 20 - "#ifWinActive, ahk_group Live Error: This line does not contain an unrecognized action"

One thing that could be affecting the behavior is the screen resolution. Which one are you using? Could you try it in something like 1024x768 or 1200x800 (wide) and let me know if that makes a difference?nebulae wrote:I love how this script allows you to scroll in the Session View.

Hm. Do you have the latest version of autohotkey installed?Also, if I double-click the script (not the EXE), I get an error message at Line 20 - "#ifWinActive, ahk_group Live Error: This line does not contain an unrecognized action"
Both my desktop and my laptop are set to 1600x1200. I'll try the other res to see what happens. But maybe it's not having the latest version installed...I'll give it a try.ilia wrote:One thing that could be affecting the behavior is the screen resolution. Which one are you using?

I have to say that overall, this script is MUCH smoother than anything I came up with earlier, so kudos to you. If there's one critique, it's that I don't necessarily like what the mouse wheel does with the Library...it's like my mind wants it to function like normal Windows when I'm in the browser section. Thoughts?
I tried multiple screen settings and it had no effect. This script does not work for zooming on either the arrange or for clips in the session/arrange. It does work great for scrolling side to side, so I'll definitely use it for that....but the scrolling would be ideal. You're really close, I'm sure...can you try again? I'd be happy to help troubleshoot or beta test. You can reach me at producer909_at_yahoo for email and instant message.
Ok, sent you some info via YIM. The script works fine for me here, so we'll have to figure out what's different on your machine. I can also make an alternate version that will be more robust in some cases.nebulae wrote:I tried multiple screen settings and it had no effect.

Thanks. I'll test when I get home tonight.ilia wrote:I made an alternate version (see the edit of the top post).nebulae wrote: You're really close, I'm sure...can you try again? I'd be happy to help troubleshoot or beta test. You can reach me at producer909_at_yahoo for email and instant message.
Please let me know if this works for you.
Wow man
Holy god-damned shit man. You did it. It actually works. You are my savior.
I was hoping that Ableton would include this feature in updates but now I could care less. Being able to instantly zoom with the scroll wheel makes life so much easier when working in a Daw arrange view.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I was very much used to this feature when I used to use Acid, and I've always wished it to be implemented into my absolute favorite software_ Live.

Ok, I tested the ALT version and it works really well. Thanks a bunch, this is great.
Of course, as with all things, there are somethings that can be improved, should you choose to tinker further (this does not at all mean that I'm not grateful - I really appreciate your efforts!!):
1. In the clip view it would be great to somehow zoom in perhaps where the cursor is rather than just from the beginning of the clip. Often, I want a quick zoom to a particular beat or transient peak so I can adjust a warp marker. Then I want to quickly zoom out and repeat the process later in the clip. With the current script, I can only zoom from the beginning of he clip.
2. The ALT script doesn't zoom at all in the clip view when in Session mode. In arrange it zooms as I just stated.
3. In zooming in and out in the arrange, it might also be good to have some zoom rules. For example, if I have the mouse on the left side of the screen, the zoom in keeps the left side on the screen and zooms out to the right, but if I'm on the right side of the screen, that side stays put and zooms out to the left. Does this make sense? It's like smart zooming, similar to Tracktion.
If I get more ideas, I'll send them your way.

PS - thanks again, you AutoHotKey GOD.
