as stated in the subject, i’m trying to create a little Max device which can turn off all the devices on the track where it’s sitting, for optimization purposes.

In fact i noticed that muting a track doesn’t stop Live from calculating the content of the track.
As i’m working on a project with many tracks, and they will not be all playing at the same time, i need something to completely turn off a track when it is not being used.

Is there already a command in Live for this purpose? Freeze track doesn’t seem to be what i need, plus it’s not accessible from the Live API… (right?)

I am already able to retrieve the relative path of the track where the max device is, using this_device canonical_parent, and i can turn off a specific device.

What i don’t know is how to turn off all devices together.
I can count the devices on the track, but it seems like the live.path is not able to output a list of several id (only one at a time), and same goes for the live.object, it can only operate on one id at a time.

Does anybody know a way to do what i need, or at least know if it’s something possible?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best,

Pedro
