Script for Ableton Live control via iOS/Blueboard

Hi Nic,

yes thanks for triple tap idea!!

Making two different timeout rules seems to be the best way to achieve that, great!!

I’ll try your Streambyter blocking rules tomorrow, thanks.

I’ve made today some sax looping stuff in Live with double tap 60ms scene and that was really cool, round robin works really well. Now I need to manage creatively all that stuff/taps/possibilities.

Hey bad news don’t sounds that bad, and that seems crazy good with 6 actions per button!!! I will check this now, it’s awesome many thanks Nic for your very nice support!!

Hi Nic!

Well I’ve made more extensive tests and really that works pretty well thanks you again so much.

And glad I’ve gived you some inspiration to make the new scene module :-)

I tend to use single tap / hold / double tap / double tap hold only with 05 06 delays to have a responsive setup as I have to use 05 0A delays with triple gestures. But that’s useful to have several options.

I have another work for you :-)

I now wish to have a Streambyter set of rules which I could use to remap several notes to CC’s:

- Map specific note to specific CC
- ability to set several note/CC remapping lines
- ability to set individually each line to toggle or momentary
- ability to set individually each line for separate ramp up/ramp down time values for CC; this will allow for cleaner and more natural audio behavior, for example toggle delay audio effect.
- remapped midi notes blocking, I only need CC on output, and all other notes should be allowed

The Streambyter module should be placed after Custom Janosax in the chain.

I’ve found that set of rules but it doesn’t do everything that I need:
audeonic.boards.net/thread/545/key-toggle-cc

The goal here is to use BlueBoard with AUM on iOS, to toggle or momentary switch effects sends in the mixer using CC control, and other things... I will also use midi notes triggering with Loopy for live stuff/loop triggering and VoiceRack FX which allow for presets change via midi notes.

That way I will have extended live setups both on Ableton and IOS :-))

Thanks in advance for your nice work, if all of this is possible :-)

Hi janosax ,

> - Map specific note to specific CC

This one is easy! Let's say you want to map button A single tap (I'll use this in all my examples). For this we would see this message: 93 3C  when the button is pressed and 83 3C when released.

This rule will convert that to CC 50 (hex 32) on channel 1:

8-92 3C = B0 32

When the button is pressed, it will generate CC 50 ON and when released CC 50 OFF

> - ability to set several note/CC remapping lines

Just repeat the above rule for each note/CC remapping you want

> - ability to set individually each line to toggle or momentary

It's already momentary (press = ON and release = OFF), but to do a toggle we have to apply a little bit of logic. Again with my example button and toggling the CC:

# toggle/latch
IF LOAD
  ASS K0 = 92 3C # incoming note
  ASS K2 = B0 32 # outgoing CC
  ASS L0 = 7F    # toggle flag
END
# match incoming note (press down)
IF M0 == K0 K1 7F
  SND K2 K3 L0      # send outgoing CC
  MAT L0 = L0 ^ 7F  # flip toggle
END
XX = XX +B

Make a new module for each toggle/latch and connect to Blue Velvet.

> - ability to set individually each line for separate ramp up/ramp down time values for CC; this will allow for cleaner and more natural audio behavior, for example toggle delay audio effect.

For this, I would recommend you use MidiFire's Robotic Knob module which will smoothly ramp the CC up and down in combination with a Stream Byter beforehand to latch the note event so that the one action makes it rise and fall alternately.

First, use the latch code above, but change this:

ASS K2 = B0 32 # outgoing CC

to

ASS K2 = 90 32 # outgoing note
  
So now our button A single press is generating note number 50 alternating between velocity 127 and 0.

Connect this up to a Robotic Knob, and change the following from the default configuration:

output CC : 50
output channel : 1
initial CC value : 0
output smoothing : Fine
smoothing speed : Slow (or try Medium or Fast)

The Robotic Knob will then ramp up from 0 to 127 when you single tap button A and back down from 127 to 0 when you tap A again.

> - remapped midi notes blocking, I only need CC on output, and all other notes should be allowed

The Blue Velvet module by default blocks all incoming events. To have it pass on notes (as well as the CCs it generates) modify this (right at the bottom):

# block all incoming events
XX = XX +B

to:

# block all incoming events
# (except note events which pass)
NX = XX +C
XX = XX +B

You will probably want to make the same change in the latching module above so that it also allows the notes to pass through.

Regards, Nic.

Hi janosax,

If you hook up an Event Monitor to the output, what do you see?

Regards, Nic.

Hi janosax ,

Yeah, there's a bug in my momentary and toggle stuff. I have edited the above to fix.

Regards, Nic.
