buildable 0.0.1

Combine and edit Ableton Live sets (.als files).

buildable

---

buildable allows you to edit and extend Ableton Live sets programmatically. For example, you could have a single set that stores your common return tracks, and use buildable to add them to various template sets.

Currently you can copy tracks/returns from other sets, delete and re-order tracks/returns, and set some high-level parameters like the session/arrangment view state.

Installation

pip install buildable

Usage

from buildable import LiveSet

# Template bases containing e.g. MIDI/audio tracks.
jam_session = LiveSet.from_file('jam-session-tracks.als')
composition = LiveSet.from_file('composition-tracks.als')

# Shared main track and return tracks to be copied to the templates.
shared_structure = LiveSet.from_file('shared-structure.als')

for template_set in (jam_session, composition):
    template_set.insert_return_tracks(shared_returns.return_tracks)
    template_set.main_track = shared_main.main_track

jam_session.write_to_file("/path/to/user-library/Templates/JamSession.als")
composition.write_to_file("/path/to/user-library/Templates/Composition.als")
