how to highlight the playing clip?

[JuanSOLO]

I have been using Hanz Pertov's APC 64 40 script. I use it to sequence my drum tracks.

I want to build an M4L device that "highlights" or focuses on the midi clip that is playing on that track which is my drum track.

If the clip looses focus, so does the step sequencer part of the script on the APC40. So I am wanting to find a quick way to regain focus to that clip without using the mouse pad.

Any ideas on where to start?

Maybe you think about something else but: select on launch in "preferences" higlights it.
Or you can use clyphx, make a clip that selects the track and scene number. ClyphX is a simple, Clip-based scripting language for Live 8.1.5 or later.

M4L-devices? I dont know..have you searched "maxforlive.com"?

I'm familiar with ClyphX and Select on Launch. Currently ClyphX is kinda buggy due to the 8.2.2 update, so I am holding out on that. Select on Launch is not really a solution, I need a way to re-focus.

Thanks though!

Exactly what Isotonik lite does? Press and hold track select button or cliptrack button plus clip launch pad?

indeed, I went back to 8.2.1 because some of the m4l-devices I found (and making daily use of) on "maxforlive.com" didn´t work anymore, for instance "TrackStates". And I´m not a seasoned m4l-programmer unfortunately.
I managed to rewrite a device named "jc-reversr-b004" though, a super-useful repeater-device that would only understand 4/4...now it relates everything to quarter-notes and works nicely in every thinkable metre. Explanation on "maxforlive.com"

OK, I will definitely look into that.

OK so I figured out how to get the highlight playing clip working as I want, HOWEVER I would like to implement this feature on my APC40 using Hanz Pertov's script without interfering with his script.

With Hanz's script, holding shift+master engages the sequencer mode. I am wanting my button that highlights the playing clip, to be activated when I push the master button, OR better yet when I push shift+master. So I basically want to capture the shift+master feature using M4L without disableing the APC40?

Can anyone help with this?
