Adjustable keyboard split over several tracks

Hi!

My name is Arthur, I am a new user here, familiar with python but not with Live API and CSS in general. I have a Launchkey 49 MKII which I use with Live 11.

My goal with remotify is to split keyboard in real time with my Launchkey controller. I would appreciate help in the programming process.

I would like to achieve keyboard split dynamically in the following way:

1) Move to a track and arm it (OK)
2) While holding a button,
a) click on a key to define the lowest key of the range
b) then click on a second key to define the highest key of the range
3) Move to an other track, arm it and repeat the 2) a) and b)

Inside Live, I know that a keyboard split can be achieve by adding a “pitch’ device on the left of each track devices. Therefore the first key could define the “lowest note” parameter and the second one the ‘range’ parameter.

However, I do not know how to implement 2) inside remotify. Can you help me? I am OK to use beta features if it helps!

Best

Hi Arthur, welcome to Remotify! 🙂 ​

for 2) you con switch to another mode when you press the button down, then back to previous mode when you release it.
See this video on Modes: https://youtu.be/_gtgD9eExTo
To get this momentary effect of activating mode 2 only when the button is pressed down you will need the first mode activator button to switch to mode 2 when your button sends 127, and to switch back, make sure the ‘on’ value for the second mode activator button uses 0 (or what ever the button’s off value is).

Setting a parameter bank parameter to number 2 will control the ‘lowest’ parameter (see attached screenshot). I think the ‘range’ parameter is number 1 (not 100% sure though).
Here is a video tutorial on adding device control to your css script: https://youtu.be/SSfaVfDqt7M

Thanks

John

HI Arthur,

You might be best to investigate using Reactions 2 in the Beta of CSS 2.6.
Hop over to the beta forum, you’ll see a topic to download it: https://remotify.io/beta-community
Checkout the tutorial videos for it in this post: https://remotify.io/beta-community/question/reactions-v2-tutorials

And specifically for custom python coding, have a look at tutorial 7a. custom python coding with Reactions 2
