Global Actions

The MIDI Actions send MIDI messages to the MIDI port selected as the Output port for the ClyphX control surface. Also, all values in MIDI Actions should be entered in decimal.

The SCENE related Actions do not actually Launch Scenes, they Launch every Clip on a Scene. For this reason, they will function similar to Launching Scenes when Start Recording on Scene Launch is turned on.

Track actions for Clips

The actions will apply to the playing Clip or if no Clip is playing, to the selected slot on the track. To operate on a different Clip, specify the slot number of the Clip after the word CLIP: 5/CLIP1 LOOP *2

To operate on the selected slot or the Clip selected in Arrangement View, specify SEL (CLIPSEL WARP). You can also specify the Clip name enclosed in quotes (1/CLIP"MyClip" LOOP).

By default, the Clip Note Actions (CLIP NOTES) will apply to all the Notes in a MIDI Clip that fall within the Loop Start/End markers (if Loop is on) or the Start/End markers (if Loop is off). To operate just on a particular pitch (or a range of pitches), specify the name (or number) of the pitch (or range) after the word NOTES.

For example: CLIP NOTESC#3 REV, CLIP NOTESF4-F#5 VELO <<, CLIP NOTES60 NUDGE >

To operate on Notes that fall on a particular time position (or a range of time positions) in the Clip, specify the position (or range) and use @ as a prefix. Positions should be specified in absolute beat time (where 1/4 note is equal to 1.0). So, in 4/4, beat 1 would be 0.0, beat 2 would be 1.0, etc. For example: CLIP NOTES @1.0 GATE >, CLIP NOTES @0.5-1.5 SPLIT

You can specify both a pitch (or pitch range) and a position (or position range) to operate on. For example: CLIP NOTESC3-F3 @4.0 DEL

Control Surface Actions

Control Surface Actions relate to other Control Surface scripts that are selected in Live’s Control Surface section, in Preferences – MIDI/Sync. In the actions below N is the number of the Control Surface to operate on, in the range of 1 to 6. This numbering is based on the number of Control Surface scripts that are selected. For example, if only two scripts are selected, the second script will be CS2 even if the script is selected in Control Surface slot #6. You can alternatively specify the one-word name of the Control Surface to operate on enclosed in quotes (such as CS”APC20” RING T1), with spaces replaced by underscores.
