Is there a way to make that push always load session and volume mode when opening a new project ?

Not that I know of.

Yep, i'm afraid you're right.
I'm thinking of learning python.

yep.
You could try to make a user action in clyphx. The advantage would be that the whole startup action framework already exists. As well as Push actions. There is just not yet one for what you desire.

okay good to know.
I persist in not using cliphX because i'm too scared of obsolescence. I'd rather do something that i could fix myself if needed.
But i do know that it's awesome !

I'm not sure I understand.

The clyphx source code is open source and completely in Phyton (AFAIK). So in any case, if you are deciding to just start learning Phyton, then making a user action of which there are many examples, in a framework that already does most of what you want seems like the best jump off point to me.

Another big advantage is, that Stray is a very helpful guy, so if you hit a roadblock, there would be an expert to ask.

And it's free!

I honestly only see upsides to going with clyphx.

Oh, and if you make something worthwhile, you could even share it with the rest of us, by asking Stray if he includes it with the actions included in clypx.

Yeah, i still need to learn python ! Then i'll feel confident enough to use clyphX...

As you wish. My point was rather that writing that user action is already using Phyton. But it would be like a beginner exercise compared to you doing everything you want on your own. So if you wait to start using clyphx until you have learned Phyton, you are kinda doing it backwards.

Clyphx is just a Midi remote script written in phyton.

For the function you need, you could just go into the .py file that has the Push functions, look how they are done (some are a little similar, as they recall different scales and one forces the DrumRack into melodic step sequencer mode), and try to code along these examples. Then if this one action is done (or rather two in your case) you can just save it in this file and it will already work. Because the function to call action lists on restart is already provided in clyphx. Well, at least that's what I would do.
