OSC Description comand

Feature Requests

First of, thank you! I have seen you already ad the feature to change descriptions on ableset setlist… it is good to have it.

I notice the way it works, it does not erase the {} info on the ableton project itself, but create like a mask for the set list info. thank you!

I would like to know if there is a way to acces that mask, in order to change it, from a osc comand…

Hey Gerson, glad you find this feature useful!

If what you’re after is changing / injecting text remotely during the show, a good approach is to use Shared Variables + Canvas, which are fully controllable via OSC and behave very much like an editable “overlay”.

How to set it up

  1. Add an Input Field element in Canvas
    In the Value field, put:

    ${shared("myNotes")}

  2. Update it via OSC
    You can send this from:

    • a Custom OSC MIDI mapping, or

    • a +OSC flagged track / clip

    Example OSC message:

    /shared/myNotes "Don't forget capo on 4th fret"

That way, and as a workaround, you can remotely update notes/descriptions in real time, without touching the Ableton project or the original setlist cues.

Let me know if this works for your use case!
