Although the python API could be documented, it was not meant to be a public API. And it seems the open source community managed to generate the documentation.

I don't know any other DAW that allows as deep integration for third party devs through their Max for Live API.
- r9295 3y agoIf it was not meant to be public, then why do vendors who partner with Ableton and build hardware for Live complain about the lack of documentation? The documentation generated by the community is severely lacking and it enables only elementary usage of the API
- boffinAudio 3y ago>I don't know any other DAW that allows as deep integration for third party devs through their Max for Live API. REAPER?
- thomashop 3y agoAh makes sense. I was just thinking of the "big name" ones. I need to look into Reaper again.
- gavinray 3y agoREAPER has unsurpassed scripting and extension, every other DAW looks like a joke in comparison.
- stevehiehn 3y agoYa, Reaper is the only DAW (I know of) that allows me to import midi, apply fx, and render tracks via scripts.
- Cloudef 3y agoNot really DAW but bipscript is interesting for this use case
- mrMagick 3y agoFL Studio has a well documented python API to allows 3rd party scripts!
- ano-ther 3y ago> it seems the open source community managed to generate the documentation That would be terrific. Do you have more? A while ago, I tried to cutomize a Novation Launchpad but couldn’t find coherent docs or an intro. Some people have mastered it, as witnessed by this great extension [1]. But that’s example code, not a documentation. [1] https://github.com/hdavid/Launchpad95 https://github.com/hdavid/Launchpad95
