lucianoiam / live_rpyc Goto Github PK

First of all, I gotta say that this is awesome! I was thinking about it as well, as making something custom in Ableton with LiveOSC became a nightmare.

Seems like most of the functions work right out of the box, I can query what I need and command what I need as well. The only thing missing now is the callback to trigger actions via clips, but I cannot get it to work for some reason.

Here's code I'm running as test case:

 if __name__ == '__main__':

   Live = connect()
   live_app = Live.Application.get_application()
   song = live_app.get_document()

   def clipTestTriggered():
       print("huh ->clipTestTriggered ")
       
   def clipTestTriggered2():
       print("duh => clipTestTriggered")
   def tempoCallback ():
       print("temppooooo")
   def volumeCallback():
       print("yeah!")
   bind(song.add_tempo_listener, song.remove_tempo_listener, tempoCallback)
   bind(song.tracks[0].mixer_device.add_sends_listener, song.tracks[0].mixer_device.remove_sends_listener, volumeCallback)
   bind(song.tracks[0].add_clip_slots_listener, song.tracks[0].remove_clip_slots_listener,
       clipTestTriggered)

   for track in song.tracks:
       for clip in track.clip_slots:
           bind(clip.add_playing_status_listener, clip.remove_playing_status_listener, clipTestTriggered2)

   print('Connected to Ableton Live {}.{}.{}'.format(live_app.get_major_version(),
       live_app.get_minor_version(), live_app.get_bugfix_version()))
   print(song.tracks[0].mixer_device.sends_has_listener)
   start_thread()

   try:
       input('Try playing/pausing Live or press Enter to exit\n')
   except:
       pass

   disconnect()

So the code above spits out following:

Connected to Ableton Live 10.1.7
<bound method MixerDevice.sends_has_listener of <MixerDevice.MixerDevice object at 0x0000000025514D48>>
Try playing/pausing Live or press Enter to exit
temppooooo
temppooooo

This is what I get when I start this one, mess around in Ableton with clips, and finally, fiddle with tempo.
I'm not sure what is going on. Even if I try to add a listener to sends, it fails, even though it seems that it has a listener, according to that log. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Cheers

Hey,

Anyone has an idea how these scripts can be updated to support Live 11?
What exactly in a code should be replaced, any possible roadmap?

Is there any tool that works on Live 11, not exactly live_rpyc? Maybe it's somehow similar to take ideas from them?

Thanks

Hey,

First of all thanks for bringing this tool up.
It works well by reading various information from Ableton, but finding it hard to change something. I know that Ableton API is not documented officially so that's the main issue.

Anyone found a way to activate a Rack or Device?

It's called "Device Activator" in GUI, but I have found that property is is_active via API.

What I've got is this in client.py:

    print(str(song.tracks[0].devices[0]), str(song.tracks[0].devices[0].is_active))

it returns:

('<RackDevice.RackDevice object at 0x172c4b270>', 'False')

if I do

  song.tracks[0].devices[0].is_active = True

it says

AttributeError: can't set attribute

I'm looking at https://structure-void.com/PythonLiveAPI_documentation/Live10.1.19.xml and searching by "Live.RackDevice.RackDevice" and seems nothing is offered.

It's even not clear how to to find information in docs or google, by which phrase: "activator", "active", "mute" or even something else.

Any hint would be appreciated
