Changing a clip's color when its notes changes
Apr 24 2011 | 6:20 pm
So it would be really useful to me to have my MIDI clips switch color when their contents change. And I can see a brute force way to do this, clearly, with an live.observer for each clip observing "notes" triggering an associated "color" message into an live.object. But I have 320 such clips I want to monitor, which seems kind of gross.
I'm wondering if there is a way via javascript, maybe, to monitor all clips and get the address of any clip whose notelist changes.
Anyone?

Is that problematic in any way? That is, could this potentially cause problems I'm not aware of, this deferlow trick?
