ID: Mute button first effect rack on given track?
The title says it all.
I really couldn't find how to get the id (for live.remote or live.object) out of the LiveObjectModel for the mute (activation?) button of the first effect rack (or one of the following) on a given track.
I like to implement this because it seems the only way to get rid of all the processing power those effects use.
Thanks
Peter
It’s not a “mute button” but a “chain_activator” and it should be down a path something like
live_set tracks N devices Y chains Z mixer_device chain_activator
You could also try using this api inspector gadget (shameless plug):

theres also a cool device called MUDA used for enabling/disabling devices based on track activation status... it might work in the scope of racks/ chains as well.

Thanks. That was close. And a remarkable tool which is worth plugging.
But unfortunately I didn't get to my activator. I succeeded in controlling the first chain's mute button (the small speaker). But my aim was the activator of the whole rack to switch everything of at once.
But maybe I am missing something (-;

Just figured it out!
It is "live_set tracks K devices L parameter 0" for the (L+1)- device in the rack. It is the parameter 0 that sets the activator button for the whole rack!
(Would it be a good idea if someone with the brains would develop a better, more readable Live Object Model. More tree orientated...)
Best
