pineapple-runtime

Run-time environment for controlling Ableton Live sets via pineapple.

Prerequisites

• Ableton Live 9 Suite - Tested successfully on 9.2.3, not working on 9.6.1
• LiveOSC added as a MIDI Control Surface
• liblo

Installation

Clone pineapple-runtime and install necessary dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/alexanderwallin/pineapple-runtime
cd pineapple-runtime
python setup.py install

Note that pylive uses pyliblo, which in turn uses the liblo C library, so you might have to install that first.

Usage

1. Open up the Ableton Live set
2. Run python src/run.py
3. Hear the set being modified on every beat
4. Edit and save a reducer file in any text editor, and it will be hot-reloaded, making it's modification to the set to apply immediately
