Feature Request : /live_set/EXT_sync_enabled
Hello,
First of all, thank you so much for developing and sharing this library — it's an incredible tool for Ableton users and very appreciated!
I have a small feature suggestion, but I want to be upfront: I have no experience with coding, so I truly don’t know if this is even technically possible. Please feel free to disregard this if it doesn't make sense or isn't feasible.
I was wondering if it might be possible to add support for enabling or disabling Ableton's EXT Clock Sync via OSC — something like: /live_set/EXT_sync_enabled
I believe this could be helpful for some users who work with external sync setups and want to automate this control.
Thanks again for your amazing work, and apologies if this is out of scope or too naive a request!
Warm regards, Aladin.
I've just looked into this. Weirdly, I can't find a property for this within API (at least, according to the reverse-engineered docs), but this would be quite an anomaly as every other control in the UI is, and it would certainly be useful for external controllers to be able to toggle this feature.
The Link on/off control is exposed by is_ableton_link_enabled, which I've just added to AbletonOSC. If anyone can track down a property for ext sync, either in the docs above or in the Max/MSP LOM model, I'd be glad to implement it.
Going to close this one as it appears to be not possible given the current Live API, which I'm a bit baffled by...
