Disable Blue Box Option

touchAble Pro
#1

This is more of a question but if not possible yet a feature request:
Since I am finding those blue borders in Session View visually distracting I was looking for some option to disable them. Because I couldn’t find such an option I was wondering if that was implemented already and how to access it? If it’s not yet possible I would really like to see that in a future update.

Thanks in advance

Hey,

if you like you can disable the box by changing one simple line in our script. But this will stop Live from following touchAble’s scene/track offset.

open the touchAbleCallbacks.py

on mac you will find the file inside the Live Application bundle:

/Applications/Ableton Live 11 Trial.app/Contents/App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts/touchAble/touchAbleCallbacks.py

on win it is located here:

\ProgramData\Ableton\Live x.x\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts\touchAbleCallbacks.py

go to line 206 or search for “selectionCB(self, msg):”

and add return below the function definition, like this:

def selectionCB(self, msg):
    return
    self.c_instance.set_session_highlight(msg[2], msg[3], msg[4], msg[5], 0) # Zerodebug Change
    #self._session_ring.set_offsets(msg[2], msg[3], width=msg[4], height=msg[5])  # SVH Change #

Thank you that worked really well!
The windows still do open though when selecting clips on the iPad however that is fine by me.

Hi,

each time a clip gets touched, we notify live. If you like to uncomment/deactivate annother line :).

/Applications/Ableton Live 11 Trial.app/Contents/App-Resources/MIDI Remote Scripts/touchAble/Clips/ClipCallbacks.py

go to line 702-703 and put a # hash in front of the first characters to deactivate/comment the lines.

def viewClipCB(self, msg):
    """Called when a /live/clip/view message is received.
    
    Messages:
    /live/clip/view     (int track, int clip)      Selects a track to view
    """
    track = LiveUtils.getSong().tracks[msg[2]]
    scene = LiveUtils.getSong().scenes[msg[3]]

    if len(msg) == 4:
        clip  = msg[3]
    else:
        clip  = 0
    
    LiveUtils.getSong().view.selected_track = track
    LiveUtils.getSong().view.selected_scene = scene

    #LiveUtils.getSong().view.detail_clip = track.clip_slots[clip].clip
    #Live.Application.get_application().view.show_view("Detail/Clip")

Yep that worked fine thank you :slight_smile:
Now the the piano roll still opens upon long pressing on a clip in session view but I think that’s supposed to happen, right? Also I think that’s actually useful to have it opened when editing midi.
