duplicate_clip_to_arrangement syntax/arguments

jonbenderr's icon

Attempting to put together a simple utility using the api function "duplicate_clip_to_arrangement".

Can't seem to get the arguments formatted properly and get "invalid arguments" messages in the max window.

So example scenario:
I have 1 clip on track 2 in clip slot 1.

I point the live.path/live.object to "live_set tracks 1"

then send this message to live.object:
"call duplicate_clip_to_arrangement 0 4.5"

Where 0 is the index of the clip and 4.5 represents the arrangement destination_time in beats.

I've also tried using the clip id # and a whole bunch of other goofy ways to get this to work.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Using the clip id works for me.

Thank you Broc! That works wonderfully!

I wasn't using the actual clip id, I was just using the clip_slot id. Was one branch to high in the tree.
