Is there a way for a M4l device to report back note labels to a clip piano roll view?

I've found that if I place any device, like a VSTi or MFL device in an instrument rack and set a Live drum device in parallel the note-names of the parallel device are shown in the clip view, even if the drum device has the on/off button set to off.

This does not cost any cpu. But you end up with a maximum of 8 automatable parameters.

xanadu, thanks. could you elaborate? that sounds cool...

Yeah, this works for me too. I was just about to write another post to see if anyone knew how to get that data via the API somehow...

1. Create a Vocalesce or any other instrument

2. Group it using Ctrl-G or right-click -> group

5. Drop a drum rack on the instrument screen

6. Drop empty clips (silence.aif / silence.wav) on the notes you want to use. Then rename the clips to the text you want to see

8. The labels will only be seen in the folded view

Thanks for the responses. Like amounra I was wondering if there was a way of doing it via the API.

You can also do a work around like that using a midi rack, Create a chain per note, name the chain, assign a chain to a note via the chain selector piano view.
