absolute jump_in_running_session_clip? mlr type stuff

Post by ST8 » Tue Sep 29, 2009 8:04 am

Is there any chance of having an absolute jump_in_running_session_clip or move_playing_pos? Both of these are relative at the moment and it makes shuffling clips in a quantised fashion really quite tricky.

Heres an example patch ive been working on (it currently monitors the playing state of track 0, clip 0, it will output to your monome too on /ableton) it does jump around in the clip but because you have to manually keep track of where in the clip you are the jumps arnt in exactly the right position, even when keeping track of the pleayhead with raw ticks.

Is there an easier way to go about this?

maybe 2 jumps?

one to beginning and one to the point you actually want?

another way i've been thinking about this is if we can have a dropbox for a loop which is then automatically sliced and placed into a set of consecutive clips on a track, then set the clips up to trigger each other..

then instead of monitoring how far into a clip the playhead is to determine which button to light, you only have to look at which clip is playing.

unfortunately, there's no mechanism for inserting new clips into a track.
