  • extract clip position info from liveosc/ableton

    Hey! So I've been using osculator with liveosc forever, and I think it's about time I figure this part out.
    I'm trying to figure out how to get playhead info from my first 2 channels, which I'm using as DJ channels/decks.

    So I want 2 signals. I want any clip that's playing on track one to send a clip position to one signal, and any clip on track two to send a separate signal.

    is this possible?

    liveosc sends clip position osc info, but I have no idea how to use it...
    any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks

    just to be clear, I have liveosc and python and they both work fine.

    I'm trying to figure out how to use the /live/clip/position signal in osculator and separate certain tracks into usable data for visual feedback in touchosc or on the quneo

      Hi djzach,

      If you look at the LiveOSC dictionary:
      Code:
      /live/clip/position (int track) (int clip) (float position) (float length) (float loop_start) (float loop_end)
      I am not exactly sure of what you need, but you could extract the tracks from the first argument by using the "Demux" function. Select the first argument (0) in the message /live/clip/position, and choose Edit->Demux. Then make it so the message /live/clip/position is sent again. You will see the different track numbers displayed as if they were sub-messages with one argument ommited (in this case messages with 5 argument whose first one is the clip number).

      I hope this will help you.


      Best,
      Cam
