Ableton Forum

Hello,

Is there a way to select notes in midi clips without selecting them in the UI ?
Maybe just get an information on the position of each note in clip ?

I just can't find the right solution in the manual, forum and tutorials on the max4live.info site.
I want to be able to set/remove/replace notes on controller.
I know I can manupulate notes with "replace_selected_notes" command, but for this operation the notes must be selected first...

many thanks,

select_all_notes

http://www.cycling74.com/docs/max5/refp ... model.html

that will get you all of the notes in a clip. i still haven't thunk up a way to get portions.

I think with select_all_notes and get_selected_notes you could store all notes in a [coll] object.
There you may change individual notes or portions and then write all notes back into the clip.

yeah, but my problem (not to hijack the thread) is that you have to get that list whole. the 'cleanest' way i thought up to watch a clip and edit its content was to simply get the list if something changed.

yes, as workaround I thought about to replace the whole content of the clip with coll. I have to try this out...

Hi Occular,

as a suggestion,
with the following patch you can select notes on your choice.
in this case all notes inside the clip loop (if the clip is looped) or inside the clip start/end points (if the clip is not looped).

But you can change the rules very easily.

Have fun, palmer

Whooooohaaaaaaaaaa !!!! You are a genius !!!

It is a great solution, I have to work it out !
By the way I didn't realize ( overlooked ) the message -call note-, this was the puzzle I was looking for. And see here: in the manual it is...

Greetz from Bonn and maaany thanks !

P.S: If I get the solution to work properly, I'll post it here, of course.

I realise this is a long time dead thread but i'm trying to find a way to select an individual note line in a clip and then delete all instances of that note, i seem to be going round in circles and getting nowhere!

Cheers
D

You need to select all the notes in the clip, get the list of notes, remove the row you dont want, then use replace_selected_notes.

Sounds easy, obviously i can print the list of notes but which object should i be pulling them in to then allow me to select a note to delete??

Cheers
D

Not 100% sure how it works in max, in python you get a tuple. In max does get_selected_notes give you a list? If so you need to do some zl magic to remove the rows you dont want, then call replace_selected_notes with your updated list.

Thanks i'll have a look, i seem to remember troubles with tuples before though...

Cheers
D

Darren, you should look inside Mark Egloff's step sequencer. It's been a long time since I was messing with that device, but it does what you seek, plus a few other things.

Good news, been tearing hair all day over this one and it's only for a simple device!

Cheers
D

Well pack a lunch if you plan on learning from Egloff's work. It's really clean, and really informative, BUT it's really deep and complex. However you could probably just message him if you got questions. At one time I was trying to learn how to do similar stuff with M4L. I have recently abandoned most efforts to learn python

It's a snails pace I tell you.
