/live/clip/add/notes doesn't seem to work #59

Closed jasonlevine closed 1 year ago

jasonlevine commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I am able to create and rename clips, but I can't add midi notes to them. I am sending the following params to the "/live/clip/add/notes" address: [0, 0, 60, 0, 4, 127, 'on'] I know that the track_id and clip_id are correct because the clip was created using liveosc and I can see the clip in Live. Have I made a mistake with the parameters? Or can anyone confirm that they have had success in using LiveOSC to add midi notes to a clip?

Any help is appreciated, Thank you for this awesome project!

I am able to add notes. I have had to make sure that I send the correct data types, which are the following types:

MIDI note: integer
clip position: double
duration: double
velocity: float
inactive: boolean

I am working in a JavaScript client, so probably an uncommon way, but maybe your array should be:

[0, 0, 60, 0.0, 4.0, 127.0, false]

Thanks for the reply, Steve. I tried the array you shared but it didn't work. Can you tell me a bit about the state of your Ableton project? Is the clip selected? are you in a particular view? I know these things shouldn't matter, I just want to try to reproduce your success.

Ok got it working from Python with this array: [0, 0, 60, 0, 4, 127, False]

The decimal points don't seem to matter. What is important is to send a boolean for muted and not "on/off" as it states in the readme. @ideoforms Maybe the Readme could be updated to reflect that a boolean is required here?

Thank you :)

Thanks @jasonlevine, I've clarified the README accordingly. Will also add an issue to generally improve the documentation of parameter types throughout the docs...
