How do I set the live.step sequence using a dictionary?
The live.step object has a message for "dictionary", which according to the reference "replaces the current sequence or all sequences of live.step by the content of a named dictionary".
How should the names and keys of the dictionary be formatted for this to work? I am trying to set the pitch and velocity of the notes in live.step using a dictionary but cannot get it to work.
Thanks!
If I were you, I'd reverse engineer it: create a sequence by messing about with the faders, etc. for a live.step object, hang a print object off of the right outlet, use a message box to send the live.step object a dump message and watch what comes out the live step object's fourth outlet (the dump outlet).
After that, you'll need to design your own dictionary structure to hold the output once you parse it. I'd probably go with
sequence1
step1
step 2
...etc.
sequence2
step1
step 2
...etc.
myself. Your mileage may vary.
