Ableton Forum

I know this has been asked before, and I have searched alot of threads for an answer but can't find one.

Is there a complete list of the available commands for the options.txt file?

I saw a old list in this thread that someone managed to rip from the binary - http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=113690. I am not sure how relevant some of these are anymore, since that appears to be for Live 4.1.2.

The Ableton FAQ only covers a handful of these and looking through the forum I can see quite a few not listed there (such as the problem Tom Cosm had recently - http://forum.ableton.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=132230)

Any power users shed some light on this one?

there are only a handful that they make public, and 95% of the rest are all for internal testing purposes

the main one i see people checking out is the midi event thinning

i am not aware of a more recent list, until someone wants to know badly enough to decompile the exe and have a look

what is your goal?

No goal in mind really I just started out with the Options.txt editing for my Wacom tablet, but quickly realised that there's a number of hidden commands. Wondered how many of them are actually useful etc. I work in I.T. and am just curious about hidden features like that.

you could be the one!

Hi there,

after seeing this i thought it might be useful.
For all u fellow users out there that DON´T want to
have the first 32 parameters of VST´s or AU´s automatically
listed, theres a cure.
I always had the problem with effects mainly, that
the first 32 parameters got populated automatically.
And that prevented me from using the ease of the live
automapping.
So after having a nice contact with the support this one came up:

-_PluginAutoPopulateThreshold=0


put excactly this in the Options.txt.
Whereas if u write =0 nothing gets populated, u can populate the pluginparameters as u wish.
If u write =16, the first two "banks" of 8 controllers get automatically filled up, and so on!

Hope it is useful for someone in here!

Cheers

Are you meaning the banks of controllers on the APC40 or any controller?

This is a great tip BTW!

hi modemasters,

this is the case for all controllers
that are configured to control devices over the "blue hand" symbol!


cheers
