Currently, I'm sorting all my samples into two categories: those with a duration of 3 seconds or less, and those with a duration greater than 3 seconds, using the sfinfo object.

In my "master folder," which includes subfolders, I have approximately 16,000 samples. To gather their filenames, I employ a recursive search using JavaScript, resulting in an array of filenames. Subsequently, I feed this array into the sfinfo object to retrieve the length of each sample.

The process of obtaining the array of filenames takes around 3-4 seconds, which is efficient. However, the subsequent step, where sfinfo analyzes the files, is notably slow, taking approximately 3-4 minutes. During this time, Max appears unresponsive, with the spinning wheel suggesting a potential crash.

My query is whether there's a method to execute this task in the background or optimize the process for speed. Essentially, I'm looking for a way to offload this heavy-duty analysis to another thread or improve its efficiency to eliminate the unresponsive behavior.

Hey guys. Complete beginner here. I was wondering if it possible to incorporate a selection knob into the stock Ableton multimapper that toggles each mapper on and off in series, such that only one is selected to be active by the knob at a time? The goal is to have each mapper premapped to a target in a project and to cycle through mapping targets with a macro knob so only one of my choice is modulated at a time.

I figured I'd use toggles and connect them to a knob somehow, I'm assuming there are if/then objects I can use for this? I'd have the knob have a range of 1-8 for example and use an "if knob = x" then "toggle on and the rest off" kind of logic. But being a complete beginner I have no idea if this is how it would be done nor do I know where to connect the toggles in this salad of routings

Hi. I'm trying to traverse the LOM from the current device in an arbitrarily nested drum rack and find the drum pad that the device belongs to. If I traverse upwards I end up hitting DrumChains and RackDevices but there doesnt seem to be an association where a device knows it's own drum pad. The main thing I'm trying to get here is the note assigned to trigger the device, which is only in the drum pad. 

It's kind of odd that a DrumChain lists the choke group and out note but does not list the note received

I'm using MIDI envelope for internal and also external  processing (CV) with Ableton

Anyone knows, or can help about how creating an option to have a join transition instead of having a complete restart for the envelope at each start command ?

I was toying around with a morse code generating patch for a project, and I took the occasion to dive into Live 12's new feature, MIDI Tools.

So here's a Morse code generating device for Live 12:

I'd be happy if someone could test it and report any issues.

I'm trying to create a shortcut that show the browser and select the "Current Project" place.

Using the LOM, I can focus the browser but I can't select the "Current Project".

In the older LiveAPI 11, I think that live.app had a browser property, but is missing in the 12.

Anyone knows a way to access to the "Browser" class.

I'm trying to figure out how to loop a sequence of samples (Round Robin) playing a single MIDI drum pad repeatedly.

I also need to be able to reset the sequence via another Drum Pad (MIDI mapped) so next time I hit the other pad the sequence starts on the first sample again.

So far, I found 3 different methods of achieving that effect (almost) in Ableton:

Problem: none of these methods allow to reset the sequence via MIDI mapping.

Unfortunately I don't know Max4Live, to fix this myself.

Maybe  someone here  can help me achieve the desired effect :)

Big thanks here too! This has already come in handy with a patch I'm working on.

This is great. Is the API_makedoc script available anywhere? Link broken.

You can find an old version of  API_makedoc  in this archive:

I'm on Mac High Sierra 10.13.6, using Ableton 10.1.5. I'm noticing .py files not being compiled into .pyc files. Is it true that Ableton won't support custom Midi Remote Scripts or am I missing something? Thanks!

I recently noticed this with a custom User Action for ClyphX Pro - the code works fine, but there was no pyc file generated. 

You can test
https://github.com/gluon/AbletonLive10.1_MIDIRemoteScripts ?

Actually, there is no support.
I was the first to release API in early 2011, if I remember correctly, and probably watched by the editor but I trust their open-mindness to let this happening again.


Mh, it seems like all of the mentioned links are down. Any chance to still get the resources?


you go to the link and download it.

I'm feeling stumped on how to approach this and was hoping that someone could please help me with this problem. 

I have a dynamic list as per example below:

The numbers should be read in pairs, where the first number in the pair represents the index and the second number represents the stored value. 

I would like to recall the stored values  using an index input so that:
