'open' souce ability for Ableton!!!! Wau!

[stjohn]

...using Python programming language, and telnet!

the potential for this is crazy!!! ive set it up and done a few small things like.. rename my master track :ohdear:!! but hopefully as people get on top of it, there will be a few tutorials and stuff... but the possibilites look pretty massive! ableton have given the ok...

this looks really interesting, also interesting that it seems its been reverse engineered by someone else, rather than ableton themselves. i wonder how functional it is...gonna buy ableton imminently so i will have a play.

python too, wonder how this could be hooked into supercollider instead, reckon this could be a project for over the summer months, hehe :)

Yeah this looks wicked but its still in its infancy atm. People are only starting to write classes which are functional in some useful sense. Fair play to Abelton for allowing this to go ahead. Ist also an excuse to learn python. I'm hoping that i can get ChucK running through the LiveAPI to drive sequences in abelton. That would make me very happy.

Abelton has always been lacking a few 'nerd' features that more obcuse pieces of software like Bidule enjoyed. Hows about mapping 60 different knobs and faders to one controller button with inverse fades and weird modulation going on. Tasty..
