Hi there,

I am wondering if there is a way I can send a MIDI message, use M4L, or any other method to set the scale tonality and type being used by Push 3 Standalone.

Essentially, I know the scale that's best to use to play over about 40 clips I have, and when I trigger them, I wanted to send a message to the push to change it to switch to the appropriate scale, rather than setting it manually. Any ideas?

M4L API :
"set scale_name xxx" sent to the live_set object.

here's a quick example :

Didn't test.

EDIT : if you're on L11 (and you must be if you're using P3 standalone) , you do know that's is built-in ? Scale is a property of any clip.
