Minimal ClyphX custom user action script examples for Ableton Live

These scripts serve as a demonstration of how to create ClyphX custom user action scripts. They don't do anything useful, but simply serve as a starting point.

This approach to writing custom user action scripts for ClyphX had a number of goals:

• Minimized the edits necessary to MIDI Remote Scripts/ClyphX/ClyphXUserActions.py to get custom user actions installed.
• Minimize the amount of clutter added to the MIDI Remote Scripts/ClyphX directory by having each set of custom commands be in its own directory.
• Each directory can be committed to git so a simple git checkout can be used to get the files in the MIDI Remote Scripts/ClyphX directory.

minimal.py

This script shows a custom user action implemented with a simple function.

minimal_with_obj.py

This script shows a custom user action implemented with a class. This allows the commands to store data between each call.

How to install

• Have ClyphX installed and working in Ableton Live

• Do a git checkout of this repo in the folder where you installed the ClyphX scripts (usually something like C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 10 Intro\Resources\MIDI Remote Scripts\ClyphX)

• Edit MIDI Resource Scrits\ClyphX\ClyphXUserActions.py and add the following lines to the bottom of the __init__ method:

    import clyphx_minimal.minimal
    clyphx_minimal.minimal.register(self)
    import clyphx_minimal.minimal_with_obj
    clyphx_minimal.minimal_with_obj.register(self)
