Hey @zacjohnsnz,
Just wanted to follow up; as of AbleSet 3.1 beta 10, this is now possible. There’s a new [?? default] syntax that lets you define a fallback OSC command or value that gets sent when the playhead reaches an empty space between clips.
So for your use case, the track name would look something like:
Ext +OSC [/shared/active] [?? "no"]
This way, clips named yes would set the variable to "yes", and whenever the playhead hits a gap, it automatically sends /shared/active "no".
Thanks again for suggesting this and let me know how this works for you!
