transport control¶

The transport control binds to a particular function of Live's transport, displaying feedback based on the state of the function.

Note

Standard controls are already capable of controlling the transport, and transport controls still require you to manually define the action lists to fire. The only purpose of this control is to enable control feedback.

See command reference.

yaml schema¶

Inherits from standard control.

transport: string
# color: ignored
active_color: color definition
inactive_color: color definition
playing_active_color: color definition
playing_inactive_color: color definition

transport¶

string

The name of the transport function to bind to. These functions are currently supported:

play
session_record
arrangement_record
record — a combination of the two above options
metronome
loop
punch_in
punch_out
automation — the state of Live's Automation Arm
overdub — the state of Live's MIDI Arrangement Overdub button

color¶

ignored

Feedback is based on whether the control's bound transport function is active.

active_color, inactive_color¶

Provide a color definition that will be used when the bound transport function is active or inactive. If either of these options are undefined, a default will be used.

playing_active_color, playing_inactive_color¶

Similar to above, but this color will be used when the song is playing.

Notes: - This is applicable to all transport functions, not just play - If no active_color or inactive_color is defined, this option will be ignored.
