    Open exchange format for DAWs

  • One thing I'd like to see is native support for some notion of pitch other than 12-tone equal temperament.

    Looking at their example, I see this:

    ...which looks like it's basically just a representation of the underlying midi.

    One way they could represent other pitches is for "key" to allow a floating point value rather than an integer. So, for instance, 65.5 would be a quarter-tone (50 cents) above note 65.

    According to their reference document, "key" is currently required to be an integer:

    There's other ways to support microtuning. They could apply a tuning table to the midi notes, for instance. (Ideally they should support more than the 128 notes that midi supports, because 128 isn't enough for some use cases.) They might also allow you to apply pitch bend to individual notes (which isn't allowed in midi 1.0 but was added to 2.0).

    Improved Novation Launchpad scripts for Ableton Live

  • > it seems the open source community managed to generate the documentation

    That would be terrific. Do you have more?

    A while ago, I tried to cutomize a Novation Launchpad but couldn’t find coherent docs or an intro.

    Some people have mastered it, as witnessed by this great extension [1]. But that’s example code, not a documentation.
