Open Set in Live w/ FCB1010

Hi

I have Midi Translator Pro (trial), Live, and FCB1010 working nicely together. What I would like to do when I step on a controller: the open set is closed (not saved), and a new set is loaded into live.

For example:
button 6 >> opens set "A"
button 7 >> opens set "B"

Any suggestions...?

Thanks!
-Kevin

Look at Bomes MIDI Translator and AutoIt (or AutoHotKey).

Here's what you make it do:

When you push a button, Bomes will convert it to a weird keystroke. Then AutoIt will understand the keystroke and run "something.als"

Bomes MIDI Translator + AutoHotKey is working out nicely!!!

Thanks!

FYI - I started working with Bomes only and worked out a method to alt+tab another open window, navigate up/down and execute a bat file (which simply launched the .als). This method worked out pretty well but I ended up doing a fair amount of tap dancing (at least 3 taps) to open a new song. The above method simplifies it to only one tap.
