Framework: use the Ableton frameworks to replace hand built functionality

[markusschloesser]

1. this is a good example for devices https://github.com/markusschloesser/AbletonRemoteScriptsPY/blob/main/_Generic/Devices.py
2. another one is to use subject slots for replacement of listeners, see https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-r0w2E3IJiEtCIoQ9j-vnXadDUHAbiswE_HJ5iOh0Yk/edit

my invitation to that 1 repository has expired... :) But I can navigate into everything in my own copy of _Generic/Devices.py

Is 1 a "good example" of functionality to replace, or a good example of using the frameworks?

Do you also have an AFL_BANK3 line in Devices.py? AFL_BANK3 = (u'', u'', u'', u'', u'', u'S/C On', u'S/C Mix', u'S/C Gain')

Are those first 5 strings also empty for you?

I just sent a new one. It is the Live11 scripts and LOM

the device module basically handles lots device shit, so the first

I'm gonna reply in the new issue for that :-)

• [x] use adjust_string (or display_data_source.py) instead of generate6charSTR
• [ ] or even better use ableton\v2\control_surface\elements\physical_display.py instead of / complementary to EncoderDisplaySegment and parts of EncoderController
• [ ] use ableton\v2\control_surface\control\toggle_button.py for Lock, Modifiers(Shift,Option,Control,Alt), Split
• [ ] use ableton\v2\control_surface\control\encoder.py for vpot_encoder press and turn. Or rather input_control_element?
• [ ] use ableton\v2\control_surface\components\device.py and ableton\v2\control_surface\device_provider.py for all device stuff (you already stated something similar somewhere iirc)
• [ ] use \Push2\track_selection.py for all track related things, potentially replace half of EncoderController.py and parts of MackieC4.py
• [ ] use RingedEncoderElement for VPOT + LED (see class RingedEncoderElement(CompoundElement, EncoderElement): in Keylab essential script, but ideally would need to also compound the LCD part for that vpot)

song.song.tracks:

    @property
    def tracks(self):
        """
        Const access to a list of all Player Tracks in the Live Song, exluding the return and Master Track (see also Song.send_tracks and Song.master_track).At least one MIDI or Audio Track is always available.

        pass

track.track.devices:

    @property
    def devices(self):

        pass

so no need to keep index
