How to display Ableton track colors on MIDI controller pads?
Hi,
Great to see 2.6 out of beta, thanks for keeping up the development!
Now with the new reactions working, is it possible to send the color of the track in Ableton to a controller RGB pad? I mean, pick up the color from Ableton, not write down manually a matching velocity value.
What I want to do is lay out all the tracks on my controller pads with their colors and then hit the pad to select the track. It is MUCH easier to select the right track when I can see the color. Counting tracks to find the right one from a bunch of identically colored ones is not really useful.
If it is possible now, I’d really appreciate some direction on how to do it… I’ve tried finding the functionality myself, but failed :-/
Cheers!
You can also very easily refer to tracks (I’m here because I’m looking for a fast way to color all the clips in a track) within the session box using their offset, like
self.song().tracks[self.get_sessbox_track_offset()]
self.song().tracks[self.get_sessbox_track_offset()+1]
for tracks 1 & 2 all the way through ‘+7’ for the 8th track in a 8 track session box.
