Support for Ableton Live

[tooh]

Is it possible to use this in Ableton Live?

i’m not a programmer but with some hints from you I can do some changes and tests.

The m-audio control surface does not exist on my Ableton Live. I see that your script reacts on CC values. Other solutions suggest to use the Mackie classic control surface, but as far as I know then Note on/off is used instead of CC.

The script is running but never receives the expected CC’s

I don't have ableton installed currently but may still be able to help. Can you add a print statement on line 53 of midi_to_iot.py?

The function should look like this:

def process_message(message):
    print(message)
    if message[0] != CC_CODE:
        # only care about MIDI CC messages for now
        return
    if message[1] not in CC_ACTION_MAP:
        # only use messages for which we have a defined action
        return
    CC_ACTION_MAP[message[1]](message[2])

Save the file and run it again. This will print out all the messages that are being received by the script. It may be a bunch - so make sure you try to figure out which ones are being sent when you are starting and stopping playback. If you drop the output back here in a file it would be helpful.

Hi Guy,

Thanks for your reaction. I added your debug print message and this resulted in this log

I could isolate the Recording , Stop and Play events.

I used the MackieControl Classic setting in Ableton as control surface.

MIDI to IOT monitor running. Press Control-C to exit.
[242, 0, 0]
[250]
[252]
[242, 0, 0]
[250]
[252]

I suspect that it is not entering the logic because of

if message[0] != CC_CODE:
        # only care about MIDI CC messages for now
        return

And the receive codes ( CC's?) are not in the

CC_ACTION_MAP = {
    118: on_record_enabled,
    117: on_play_changed

Is this something you can work with?

BTW if the basic logic is working I want to add/modify/replace the IFTTT webhooks.

I'm using a Hue light with a hub and I know I can send HTTP requests to the hub.

Something like this
