i’ve enclosed a screenshot of my attempt to get MIDI data from a clip - adapted from Live Abstraction FireSelectedClip

what am i doing wrong ? this excerpt was actually copied/modified from the M4L.api.FireSelectedClip code snippet that Cycling74 provide.

if i simply replace the "call get_notes" with ( original ) "call fire" message the selected clip fires ( gets launched ) correctly. So the path to the clip is correct.

i thought of using the get_selected_notes but thats really for when one wants to modify the clip notes themselves etc. in a clip view. I need to be able to get the note content regardless of whether the clip is being viewed or not. And i've looked t the built-in example snippet which does that sort of thing and sticks it into a jitter matrix. ( not what i need )

I want the ENTIRE collection of MIDI notes and the manual seems to indicate that the get_notes function operates exactly the same as get_selected_notes but gets ALL the notes. Which is what I want.

There's maybe another way to do this. Notes are taken from whatever clip is playing.

Notes are seen in the max window from a print message.

Format is: pitch start_time duration velocity muted

@see https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/vignettes/live_object_model

How I use this in a max for live midi device? Or how do I initialize this? I'm trying to use it in a M4l midi device and I'm getting this error messages:

live.object: call get_notes 0 0 0 128: no valid object set

Do I need to change some name, number or id?

Heey!

[p playing_slot_index] will return -1 if there isn't a clip playing on the track the device is on. Try loading up a test clip and playing it.

Aaaaah ok... it works with session view only... I was trying with midi clips but in arrangement view.

Any advice or clue on how to make it work in Arrangement view? And make it read different midi clips arranged consecutively in a MIDI track?

Now that I think about it, it must be harder than I expected hahaha

It's a great patch! Thanks for sharing

Should work for arrangement view as well, but you'll have to identify the clip in a different way than is done with [p playing_slot_index].

The Live Object Model has a function for the Track object called "arrangement_clips" which is "The list of this track's Arrangement View clip IDs".

Then I would try something from the Clip object to identify it from the list. Maybe the "is_playing" function?

I will check the information and share any progress I manage to achieve.

Thanks for the advice!
