How to start a clip and select it automatically so the waveform gets visible as it start?

When I launch a clip it doesn’t select it automatically the view of the waveform. How to configure it?

(As in, when I have the session box and a sample is launched, how to make it visible the track waveform as it starts?)

Also is there a way to map a button to simply select a track (to preview the waveform) instead of playing it straight away?

You can create Reactions for that purpose:

Toggle when Clip is played:

________________________________________________________

Listener:  ”Clip’s playing status value has changed”  (press on the little hand icon and select highlighted clip)

Action Block1:

Conditions:  here you can test, if the waveform is visible or not, with:

                  ”Application – is view Visible”  –  ”Bool is equal to”  –   False

“Clip – is triggered”” – “Bool is equal to” – True

Actions:      ”Application – Show View”, and then select ”Detail/Clip” 

_________________________________________________________

Like that, anytime you play a clip, the waveform shows up. If you want the waveform to disappear when you stop the clip, just make a second action block in your reaction, that looks like this:

_________________________________________________________

Action Block2:

Conditions:  ”Application – is view Visible”  –  ”Bool is equal to”  –   True

“Clip – is triggered”” – “Bool is equal to” – False

Actions:      ”Application – Hide View”, and then select ”Detail” 

________________________________________________________

If you want a Button to only see the Waveform without playing the clip, just change the listener to you button.

Depending on what velocity values your button sends, you might wanna add a condition that checks your buttons ”latest velocity value”.

For example, your button sends:

Velocity 127 when pressed

Velocity 0 when you let go

-> your button activates the listener 2 times, if you DONT want that, you need this condition:

Condition:  ”(your button) latest velocity value”  –  “Number is equal to”  –  127

didn’t woked 🙁

maybe because when launching the clip the session box is bigger and it’s not selecting only one clip?
so when hitting a clip it should also select it maybe?

how to just toggle view when one clip is launched by session box clip triggered?

I tried also:

listener: clip value has changed
Action: toggle view

also didn’t work

how to proper configure it? Sorry being stupid 🙂
the reaction part is still sinking how it works
