ableton | a python interface to ableton .als files

I have EEG signal that is processed using openvibe, which outputs the signal as osc. Using the livegrabber I was able to receive the signal in ableton (see pic). However, now I’m stuck on how I can make use of this signal. I want to convert it into midi to control vst parameters in Ableton. Can anyone give me pointers?

Context:

Trying to adjust volume in an audio file dynamically using volume filter, with commands. I want to frequently raise & lower volume in an audio file between 10 minutes and 60 minutes in length. Basically, trying to accomplish volume automation like Pro Tools / Ableton / Logic does, but within FFMPEG.

Constraints:

This must be done within using 1 ffmpeg command (part of a larger filter graph).

Work so far:

My first attempt is using a massive if command, nesting for subsequent volume raises and lowers. It works fine for my 10 minute audio file use cases at the moment.

Issue:

For a 15 minute audio file, with many fades, FFMPEG produces this errors that appear to be cutting off parts of the volume input filter.

Volume Input

i had to reinstall my MacBook Pro. I have installed the newest macOS & Xcode version so

macOS Monterey 12.0.1 (21A559) and Version 13.1 (13A1030d)

I'm programming Audio plugins so to test my plugins I'm normally running a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) in my case I'm working the most of the time with Ableton or Bitwig.

So if I start the debuging process, I get the follow error: Could not attach to pid XXXXXX attach failed (Not allowed to attach to process. Look in the console messages (Console.app), near the debugserver entries, when the attach failed. The subsystem that denied the attach permission will likely have logged an informative message about why it was denied.)

If I have an eye to the console.app the the following lines:

[LaunchAttach] (3277) about to task_for_pid(2930)

error: [LaunchAttach] MachTask::TaskPortForProcessID task_for_pid(2930) failed: ::task_for_pid ( target_tport = 0x0203, pid = 2930, &task ) => err = 0x00000005 ((os/kern) failure)

I have done some research and found this: Stackoverflow link about What does get-task-allow do

get-task-allow, when signed into an application, allows other processes (like the debugger) to attach to your app. Distribution profiles require that this value be turned off, while development profiles require this value to be turned on (otherwise Xcode would never be able to launch and attach to your app).

So there is nothing I can do to debug my programs with that software. Is that correct? :(

JukeBlocks.io is an incredible tool -- I was hoping to play around with my own algorithms to do what it does but differently, for myself. The trick of course is being able to get into an Ableton.als file and alter it. Does it need to be decompiled, or is there any way to look inside and know what's going on? Thanks!

I have a CSV file that I am reading and outputting to a JSON Object array, I'm trying to pull data out of the array to display. I'm trying to replicate the following SQL query.

I've been working on a project with an Arduino recently where I'm basically trying to get a small display hooked up to an Arduino to update with the name of a MIDI mapped knob in Ableton Live.

For example, let's say I map the knob to the reverb send on a track the display should read "A-Reverb". This works today, but only works when I first open the Ableton project and map the knob for the first time. It does not update when I select a new option.

Here's the setup I'm using right now:

• Arduino - w/Rotary Encoder & OLED Display
• Hairless MIDI - For converting the serial connection from the Arduino into MIDI CC# messages Live can read.
• Ableton Live 11 w/ Max For Live 8 - This is where the patch actually runs.

For the Max Patch, I'm using a version of Yehezkel Raz's One which I purchased and later modified. The reason I mention this is that this patch already has the name updating part worked out, so in theory I should be able to send that data over serial to the Arduino.

Out of respect for Yehezkel's work, I won't attach a screenshot of the entire patch, but have attached the part that I modified to send data to the Arduino, you can see it here.

Here's what I've tried so far:

1. Validated that the baud rate for Hairless MIDI, the Arduino, and the Max Patch is identical
2. Attempted to start Hairless MIDI only after Ableton has been launched
3. Attempted to power on Arduino without opening the Arduino IDE so that there are no Serial conflicts.

Here's what I think may be the issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it:

• Part of the logic in my Arduino code relies on Serial.available() being true, in order to send the data to the screen. I'm thinking that maybe the Serial connection is only available in the beginning when the knob is mapped.

I know that was a lot of information, but if anyone has any ideas on how I may be able to get this to work, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm trying to send MIDI data from Ableton Live's Control Surface Script to my Arduino board.

Currently Arduino set up to log every MIDI / SysEx message received on every channel, that's all it's doing as of now. I can confirm it works correctly by using Live's External Instrument: I set External Instruments to send MIDI to Arduino board and it logs incoming events (tested with NoteOn, NoteOff, PitchBend).

But when it comes to Control Surface Script nothing is working. Here's what I tried:

Building a simple text-based HTML document with limited CSS, and a single Jquery fueled button. I have 1 major issue: My text doesn't want to wrap, it just goes off the screen. It seems like something is wrong with any right-padding I try to apply. Help.

I'm having a trouble wrapping my head around following concept.

I'm sending OSC messages to query status of instruments in Ableton, so I have emmiter/receiver combo going on. Now, thing is that I'd like to avoid having to keep up some sort of global state and wrap everything around this. and I do communicate with Ableto in following fashion:
