Is it possible to get a bang when saving a Live Set?

savebang does it when saving the patcher, but I want it only when saving the Live Set.

 : you can save a live set using a new shortcut on the push 2 controller.

I'm thinking that a more overkill solution to your problem would be to watch the live set file. Can you give some more details about what/how you are working so I can see if I can come up with a good enough implementation? Or we can both work on it, too.

I actually just did the reverse here : you can save a live set using a new shortcut on the push 2 controller.

I actually ended up with another solution which in the end I find probably better than my original plan. My problem was that I wanted my MIDI device (similar to Expression Control device) to store the values of the various selected MIDI data (Pitch Bend, CCs, Aftertouch, etc...) with the Live Set so that the values are recalled and outputted when reloading the Live Set (ie: I map my modwheel to some parameter and I want the value of the modwheel to initialize at 64 rather than 0). The problem is that as soon as you make a parameter "saveable" in any way, it will end up in Live's Undo history list, which can be very frustrating at times.

That's why I wanted the values to be banged to an object that would save the values and recall them, only when saving the Live Set so that the Undo history wouldn't get filled up.

I ended up creating a Save button which does that whenever I click on it. This way I can actually decide which values I want to be stored and recalled.

Anyway, that Undo problem needs to get fixed at some point. It's really a hassle sometimes.

I'm glad you found a good working solution.

nice :)
