Generic track "start_listen" command #42

Closed graham-archer closed 1 year ago

graham-archer commented 1 year ago

I wondered if it would be possible to have a generic track 'start_listen' command that would allow for any property on a given track to be listened for, rather than having to be specific about the property which is currently the case.

e.g. /live/track/start_listen 0

With this you could listen for mute, volume, send level, name, color etc. etc.

I've now implemented this, by introducing initial support for OSC wildcards. If you want to query (or listen for) all properties of an object, use the special character *.

For example: /live/track/get/* will generate responses for every property of track 2:

/live/track/get/can_be_armed (2, True)
/live/track/get/fired_slot_index (2, -1)
/live/track/get/has_audio_input (2, True)
/live/track/get/has_audio_output (2, True)
/live/track/get/has_midi_input (2, False)
/live/track/get/has_midi_output (2, False)
...

In the same way, you can now do /live/track/start_listen/* 2, which will start listening for all property changes on track 2. To stop listening for all properties, simply do /live/track/stop_listen/* 2.

Hope that helps!
