Yes, Python can do this.<br>
<br>
Just wanted to be sure there wasn't a way to do it natively in PD...or with a single object such as [hid].<br>
<br>
The benefits of using Ableton Live for what I do, unfortunately,
greatly outweigh the minor added trouble in automating certain
processes ;)<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

What about OSC, local socket?<br><br>Seems the question you should be asking is how to control Ableton live<br>the way you want to control it...<br><br>since the keystrokes to ableton come from the OS, then it is the OS that

<br>&gt;<br>&gt; There's no way to do what I want to do via MIDI, it has to be keystrokes<br>&gt; in this case.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; Thanks again!<br>&gt; rs<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br>
