I'll try to ask maybe on the center code ..

Please don't, it's not there for this kind of stuff.

Just reload a prj and it recompiles...you dont need to restart live

Allright I'll not ask the center code ^^
@IMage_Engine are you talking about Live 11. It is doing this in Live 10 but not in Live 11 (at least for me and a friend also writing scripts)
Thanks

I made some minor changes to the python scripts of Selected Track Control.
For me it works now with Live 11 and python 3.

Thanks a lot!
I didn't test in detail, but worked at first try!

REALLY love that I can control the track volume with keys now.

Anyone got this working with clip volume / tuning?

Is there any straightforward way to map a keyboard shortcut to transposition? Would I need to hack the python script?

Hallo,

Great tool…thanks guys.

I have two instances of STC running with Ableton 11 and Big Sur (Intel).

Changed one of the STC folder names (and midi channel in Midi.py) before setup the second remote script in Ableton. This gives me one STC instance for my Keylab controller (custom mapping sending midi on ch=16) and the other for KiMidi Mac Keyboard. Works…

Hi all, thank you for this great script! I have question though, and it seems I cant find any answer anywhere. I checked the MIDI Implementation chart, under Device Control but it seems I cant find a way how to select/navigate device inside a rack? I read in the first post that it was discussed by the author but I wasnt able to track the progress of it. Is it possible? How?

Hey man, thank you for your work,
I noticed that overdub now toggles session record, and overdub off just does nothing (in Ableton Live 11).
Can you please take a look into that? it might be an easy fit for you but I tried forever without any luck to make it work (I'm not really good at programming).

Also, is it possible to add Capture Midi?
Thanks,
Mauro.

Great job wiffbi !!! Thanks a lot.

In case anyone needs the pc key to midi stuff, here is the code for autohotkey (https://www.autohotkey.com/download/?).

Key combinations are other than in the mac version, but once you find out what means what, you can create a system that suits you in no time.

Code: Select all


hModule := DllCall("kernel32\LoadLibrary", "Str","winmm", "Ptr")

vDeviceID := 1, hMIDIOutputDevice := 0 ; vdeviceid is the choice of midi channel
if DllCall("winmm\midiOutOpen", "Ptr*",hMIDIOutputDevice, "UInt",vDeviceID, "UPtr",0, "UPtr",0, "UInt",0, "UInt")
	return

hDev := hMIDIOutputDevice
vChan := 0 

;==============================

AW:= A_IsUnicode? "W": "A", A_CharSize:= A_IsUnicode? 2: 1
hWinMM:= DllCall("kernel32\LoadLibrary" AW, "Str", "Winmm.dll", "Ptr")
NumDevs:= DllCall("Winmm\midiOutGetNumDevs"), sz:= 20+32*A_CharSize
Loop, % NumDevs	{
    VarSetCapacity(DevCaps, sz, 0)
    DllCall("Winmm\midiOutGetDevCaps" AW, "UInt", id:=A_Index-1,   "Ptr", &DevCaps,   "UInt", sz)
    Name:= StrGet(&DevCaps+8)
    DevName%A_Index%:= Name
    DevNames.= id ": " Name "`n"
}
StringTrimRight, DevNames, DevNames, 1
MsgBox % DevNames
