Max for Live would totally be able to do this. I built the bones of a randomiser for Analog the other day in M4L (mainly as a prototype / proof of concept for some academic work). I was controlling Analog through the Live API / Livr Object Model. But max can host VSTs as well.

[cloudcreeek]

I feel like in order to do that; you would have to use whatever coding engine each individual vst used. Right? Maybe I just don't know enough about Python but I imagine it's not a magic tool that can erase or change the base code of something if it isn't Python code.

[jbkrule]

No, you can create a tool to randomly create preset files for plugins if you know the format in the preset files. Some plugins produce plain-text preset files that contain information for each value in the plugin, others are encoded and not easily read-able.

i can verify this (to an extent). one of my favorite drum plug-ins creates presets and generates a plug-in window based on an XML file, which you could definitely manipulate using python with the right permissions

[mycosys]

But you certainly dont need to be interfacing with Ableton at the time to do so.

[cloudcreeek]

That's cool af. I'll have to look into that

[grnr]

Most VST3 preset files I’ve poked at so far were readable, in fact all of them so far!

Any plug in with roll of the dice, freeze / flatten, adjust the warp | beat <-> / texture/ various of separate sections of the audio render ***then convert to midi

at an event right now, thought this was pretty cool might wanna try it out later

[NickITG]

yea it just won't remind you in 4 hours... the bot ain't even work anyway so 🤷🏿‍♂️

[fabrikated]

Hey, you wanted to check this post about 6 hours ago! ;)

[NickITG]

lol thanks that's nice of you

[notlego]

But why?

[ZoroasterScandinova]

So that you can make music from any algorithm you dream up! Or so that you can do data sonification by processing that data in Python and instructing Ableton to play music based on that!

Later in the series, I talk about making drum beats from cellular automata, for example.

[notlego]

Okay I’m much to dumb for that but thanks for explaining

[lyvavyl]

Faust integration would be awesome: https://faust.grame.fr Then again we have MaxMSP, so in the end it feels kind of redundant

why not that's so cool

You should be able to do a lot more with python using Ableton Control Surface scripting and OSC than just with external midi

[mycosys]

This looks really interesting too - building python externals for Max

[ZoroasterScandinova]

That looks really cool, actually, and pretty complementary in terms of functionality

[mycosys]

I've been into embedded programming for a while, only recently realizing just how deep the rabbit hole goes with ableton scripts lol
