You can also have a look at Ableton's M4L API, as some of it also works for remote scripts. Aside from Julien Bayle's stuff that /u/st4rchild linked, there's a fairly in-depth guide to the framework + various examples spread across and. Just dive into regular Python tutorials! Everything transfers 100% to Ableton's scripts.Īs for the Ableton specific stuff, there just isn't a lot out there. You're not going to find an OOP primer that specifically targets Ableton scripts because Ableton scripts are no different than any other code when it comes to OOP.

What I want to do is eventually create a script that allows you to have more layers of functionality for the knobs using if statements (the controller has 2 built in but I need more) I might just bite the bullet, install a python IDE and get on with reading python tutorials.įor reference I've got a Behringer X-Touch Mini and am currently using the Selected Track Control script from here for the buttonsĪnd the built in InstantMappings UserConfiguration.txt for the knobs (because if you set them in the STC script it allows you to alter values but does not populate value changes to the controller from within ableton which is the entire reason I bought a controller with endless encoders to begin with) This includes self promotion of music.ĭamn, you got my hopes up, just started looking into doing scripting and I thought you were going to dig into the actual code rather than just show how to set up variables in a already created script to match a controller.Įverything I've found online is either, 'here have a script and replace the CC/Note numbers/channels with yours' or 'Here is a bunch of code references and decomplied pyc files, have fun'Īnd nothing in between what I really need is a primer for object oriented programming (because I've never done it) specifically targeting ableton scripts.
