Use Live API
Hi remotify,
I wonder if it is possible to use the full Live API within Remotify, or can we only use a subsection of it (maybe we can only use what has been added so fare)?
I found this
https://nsuspray.github.io/Live_API_Doc/11.0.0.xml#Live-Browser
I’m trying to list my User folders from Lives browser with this code
myUser_folders = self.application().browser.user_folders
my_sub_item_1 = myUser_folders.children[0]
But I’m getting this error message
> ‘BrowserItemVector’ object has no attribute ‘children’
I’m not sure if the syntax is correct or if something else is preventing it from working.
I had some help here…
Unfortunately it would appear that one can’t load Clip Packs (.als) this way, but it works for devices, clip_slots, samples, .wav file etc.
I have User Folders (added in Ableton) ‘LiveDJ’, ‘Songs’ etc. where I have some .wav files.
So if the code example from previous post is use, it generates something like this in the log (I have removed a lot of log text and cleaned it up a bit).
LOG: (Reloop) user_folder [index:0] [name:LiveDJ]
info: RemoteScriptMessage: (Reloop) user_folder [index:0] [name:LiveDJ]<Content of folder ‘LiveDJ’ with index:0>
LOG: (Reloop) user_folder [index:1] [name:Songs]
info: RemoteScriptMessage: (Reloop) user_folder [index:1] [name:Songs]LOG: (Reloop) browser_item [index:0][name:Diana Ross – I’m Coming Out.wav][is_folder:False] [is_loadable:True][is_selected:False]
info: RemoteScriptMessage: (Reloop) browser_item [index:0][name:Diana Ross – I’m Coming Out.wav] [is_folder:False][is_loadable:True][is_selected:False]LOG: (Reloop) browser_item [index:1][name:Kygo – Higher Love.wav][is_folder:False][is_loadable:True][is_selected:False]
info: RemoteScriptMessage: (Reloop) browser_item [index:1][name:Kygo – Higher Love.wav][is_folder:False][is_loadable:True][is_selected:False]
This is the API to use ‘self.application().browser.load_item(browser_item)’
So to load ‘Diana Ross – I’m Coming Out.wav’ from folder ‘Songs’ use this code (e.g. placed in a Remotify Reaction)
# Where in Ableton’s browser is the file locate
my_sample = self.application().browser.user_folders[1].children[0]# Where to place it, track 1 clip slot 3
self.song().view.highlighted_clip_slot = self.song().tracks[0].clip_slots[2]# Load the .wav file into selected slot
self.application().browser.load_item(my_sample)
Edit. Noticed that I forgot the last line of code (the one that actually copies the .wav file into the selected clip slot)
Edit 2. Added export of 2 pads Reactions in order to make it easier to try to replicate this.
PS
It would be nice if Remotify could get some kind of wiki where users could upload examples and write short descriptions etc.
