Observe device position in chain?

Chris Gough's icon

Hi All

Is there a way of monitoring a path of a device for changes, eg, when moved to a different track or re-ordered in the current track?

the only way i can see to do that at the mo is to use a "live.object" and slowly metro a getpath message.

Thanks for the help!!

You can 'follow' any ID's path with notification from the middle outlet of live.path. Something like this might be helpful:

use a live.observer and monitor this_device's parent track's device list

you get a new list whenever the device is moved or the chain of the track changes. Use this event to get the info from your device you need
