i am trying to change some of the default behaviors of my Push2.

I got how to grab a control and make it do something else.

What i didn't manage to do is to automatically :

Also i think i am not really confident with the vocabulary :

Components / Controls / Modes, i am a bit confused. Any help would be great.

(i've download Mark Egloff's snippets, but i can't seem to get all my answers).

Hi,
i am trying to change some of the default behaviors of my Push2. 

I got how to grab a control and make it do something else. 

What i didn't manage to do is to automatically :
- Be in Session 'mode'
- Be in Mix 'mode'

Also i think i am not really confident with the vocabulary : 

Components / Controls / Modes, i am a bit confused. Any help would be great.

I'm not sure if you can tell the script to execute tasks (switching modes for example) from the Live API. I had a play with it this morning for about 20 minutes, and found the ModesComponent (Component 100 of the Push2 Control Surface) that houses the Session and Note modes. Couldn't get any response after calling a variety of functions found in the Push2 python code: 

https://github.com/gluon/AbletonLive9_RemoteScripts/blob/master/ableton/v2/control_surface/mode.py

Components are representations of things in Live. Mixers, tracks, clipslots etc.

Controls are representations of interface elements on your MIDI control. Buttons, rotaries, groups of controls etc.

Modes are properties of a ModesComponent, that represent a complex component like a session, or note input on a button matrix.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. I'm interested to know if anyone has any more info on controlling a script from th Live API.

Many thanks for taking the time to answer.

I'm surprised how badly documented this is.

Yeah, there's nothing official really, but between learning to navigate a control surface in the API, and the decompiled Python Scripts, all the info is there. Well, except for knowing if you can remotely control a script via the API ;)
