Hi,

I'm trying to add functionality to my ControlSurface(python scripts) to adjust the volume of audio clips (detail/clip view).
Many other properties of clips can be editted through scripts (transpose, warp/loop on/off, clip/loop start/end...).
The audio clip's volume can be midi mapped, but apparently it cannot be reached through Midi Remote Scripts.

Am I missing something or is this right. If it's right, is this being worked on?

Thanks,
Alex

You probably know about this, right? :

I took a look at it...there should be a mixer_device hanging off of the clip, but apparently its not exposed via MXDCore....very weird. I wonder how they work the MIDI Mapping bit internally....I'm absolutely no help, I realize, but I thought I'd chime in and say, "wow, yeah, that's kinda strange..."

Dont think there is a mixer_device on clips is there? Think this is one of those few parameters that isnt exposed to the liveapi

That is what I was addressing, the fact that the clip volume is not exposed through API.
It seems like such an ommission that I wasn't sure I hadn't simply overlooked it.
I hope this will be remedied in future releases because it can be really helpful to get an even mix for instance.

I have to say, the level of control through the LiveAPI and Framework classes is amazing. I love it.

There are however a few more examples that as far as I'm concerned should not be a problem exposing through API
(Browser views, device views (macro's, chains, devices), show/hide (selected)plugin, external sync toggle, add/remove tracks, solo/cue switch ...)
And then there are things that are in the API that have no use (draw mode?).

I posted this in Ableton's Max For Live (also because there is no forum dedicated to Midi Remote Scripts), but perhaps it should be in the feature wishlist forum.
