Conversions

Module-level functions that turn Live content from one form into another — audio clips into MIDI, audio clips into a Drum Rack, drum pads into a new MIDI track, and audio clips into Simpler-backed MIDI tracks.

Functions

audio_to_midi_clip()

Parameters

• song: Song
• audio_clip: Clip
• audio_to_midi_type: AudioToMidiType | intProbed asinthigh confidence
  • schema applied per the enum-arg convention (see schema header).
  • sister method AudioToMidiType enum lives in the same module; the arg name audio_to_midi_type is the direct snake-case of the enum class name.

Creates a MIDI clip in a new MIDI track with the notes extracted from the given audio_clip. The audio_to_midi_type decides which algorithm is used in the process. Raises error when called with an inconvertible clip or invalid audio_to_midi_type. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

create_drum_rack_from_audio_clip()

Parameters

• song: Song
• audio_clip: Clip

Creates a new track with a drum rack with a simpler on the first pad with the specified audio clip. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

create_midi_track_from_drum_pad()

Parameters

• song: Song
• drum_pad: DrumPad

Creates a new Midi track containing the specified Drum Pad’s device chain. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

create_midi_track_with_simpler()

Parameters

• song: Song
• audio_clip: Clip

Creates a new Midi track with a simpler including the specified audio clip. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

is_convertible_to_midi()

Parameters

• song: Song
• audio_clip: Clip

Returns

bool

Returns whether audio_clip can be converted to MIDI. Raises error when called with a MIDI clip ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

move_devices_on_track_to_new_drum_rack_pad()

Parameters

• song: Song
• track_index: int

Returns

DrumPad | NoneProbed asLomObjecthigh confidence

• M4L docs list the return as DrumPad / None. The function moves devices INTO a drum rack pad and returns that pad; the None half of the union covers the no-op path that the M4L doc names.

Moves the entire device chain of the track according to the track index onto the C1 (note 36) drum pad of a new drum rack in a new track.If the track associated with the track index does not contain any devices nothing changes (i.e. a new track and new drum rack are not created). ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}

sliced_simpler_to_drum_rack()

Parameters

• song: Song
• simpler: SimplerDevice

Converts the Simpler into a Drum Rack, assigning each slice to a drum pad. Calling it on a non-sliced simpler raises an error. ^{From Live’s runtime docstring.}
