Anyone trying this with a novation remote to do a live-rig ?
I just want to be able to load clips into tracks without my mouse,
then the novation will take care of the rest.
...I am checking out this script byROZLING
but when i try and load clips into the track it dont work for me.
I press l and the slot is selected.
Then it sends me to the browser to select a clip to load.
But when i press ctrl+L to load the clip into the slot... nuffin.
I have selected the metal skin and i am on the stated resolution.
Any ideas ?

Hi rozling,rozling wrote:It's been a while since I've looked at the internal workings of the thing but try dragging the edge of the browser to just under the Play button on the Transport - let me know how you get on.
Thanks for your help mate.
It selects the slot again but doesnt load the file into the slot...
BTW.
This would be a great addition to your script if it works...

And here is my fav for the moment:
Have you ever tried to map a key to the sample reverse button?
As I know this insn't possible in live!
-> You got it!?!
With autohotkey you can do it! Just write a little script (like this one to open the browser but with the mouse coordinates for the sample reverse button and another keystroke).
Now you can trigger the reverse button for every sample that is selected at the moment (!) by computerkey or even a midi controler (with bome's miditranslator)!
This works fine, especially for short samples (because the loading-time isn't so long). Maybe a drumloop...
Cool, ah !

Hmm, not sure what's going on there - I think it may be the same on my latest (crap) laptop config, I'll take a look & confirm.
May be possible to do the reverse thing - basically with AHK you can get it to click anything on the screen or send keyboard shortcuts/combinations. Next time I'm messing with the script I'll see if I can whip it up.

Nope working fine here. I'm afraid you may need to get your hands dirty with the script - here's the relevant part:
No time to go through it now but I'll try and help you along if you're up for editing the settings. What may be necessary is tailoring the mouse speed to your system...
Code: Select all
#IfWinActive, ahk_group Live
{
l::
{
PixelSearch, SelectedSessionClipX, SelectedSessionClipY, 350, 82, 911, 544, 0xFFCA83 [Fast]

Send, !{Up}!{Left}
}
return

MouseClickDrag, left, (SelectedBrowserClipX + 35), (SelectedBrowserClipY + 10), (SelectedSessionClipX + 30), (SelectedSessionClipY + 7)
Return
}
}

Well i am glad that its working for you so i am on the right path.
Looks like i am gonna get dirty. I will post my findings when i get a chance to do this.
BTW Thanks for your responses.

No prob - I noticed last night that it works when I do Left Ctrl + L but not with Right Ctrl + L. I think it could be a matter of just changing this bit:
to whatever key combination you want to load the clip. Try changing it to '!l::' which would map it to alt+l.
I'd love to know who's using this and how - if you're finding it useful/helpful post here and tell people how!

Yeah I noticed that too but thought it might just be my laptop.rozling wrote:No prob - I noticed last night that it works when I do Left Ctrl + L but not with Right Ctrl + L. I think it could be a matter of just changing this bit:

Im having a prob with my script
Assigned my DIY footcontroller to send some QWERTY letters via Ipac. One of the pushbuttons is assigned to Shift. When I write on a notepad, i get K instead of k if shift is pressed.
But I cant send this message to AHkey and Live ofr, lets say, undo. my script is
;To Undo
+k::^z
If anyone can tell me whats wrong with this, id appreciate.
peace,
coelho

Code: Select all
+k::
{
Send {RCtrl Down}{z}{RCtrl Up}
return
}

Perhaps a really stupid question, I dont know beacuse I'm not exactly a computer genius...but using AHK, could i plug a USB keyboard into my pc (the current one uses the old style of keyboard port) and use that along side my current keyboard to control Live?
And also, is there anyway to map controls in Live so that rearrangement of the tracks doesn't screw it up? For example im using the 1 key to trigger the Track 1 stop button. If i were to add a track and then switch the order my mapping wouldnt be right anymore; track 1 becomes track 2, so pressing the 1 key would stop track 2. Is there a way to make it so that 1 would press the stop button on track 1, no matter how the tracks were rearranged?
If you press F1 on Live, track 1 is deactivated/activated even if you rearrange, so is it possible to do this using key mapping and AHK?
