How to display selected track name with live.observer?
Hello everyone, I'd like to display the selected track name using live.observer so that the displayed text is automatically updated each time the selected track changes in Ableton Live.
It's possible? I tried but the text displayed only changes if I press the "goto live_set view selected_track" message.
Thanks in advance!
It is possible if you use the second outlet of live.path, which follows the path and not the object found at the moment when the message is called. If you use the second outlet then as you interact with live and the object at that path changes, you will see the update in the patch.
In your version if track 4 is selected when you start this patch then if you rename that track you will see the name change since live.path is following that specific live object.
Thank you very much, Adam!
Now I need to display the name of the currently selected track in a floating window (always on top).
The problem is that when I select another track (for example, when I switch from track 1 to track 2), the name displayed does not change.
Is there a way to change the name displayed automatically?
Thank you again!
