Description
This is a system that allows to use the MidiFighter Twister to control entire plugins : either the one currently selected, or the ones assigned to each of the four pages of the Twister controller.
I designed a system to have a floating window in Live to display the first 16 parameters of a device (see pictures).
It creates a local server connected to the remote scripts, which runs when the first remote scripts loads, and the max device opens a url to display everything.
Tested on MacOS Sequoia only, not Windows (python server and remote scripts should be operational though).
// VERSION 1.3
Now shows track name, to avoid confusion when locking a device to a Twister page.
// VERSION 1.2
No more Terminal shenanigans needed ! Everything is set through the remote scripts now.
/// VERSION 1.1
Adds Page Selection (macro-able and automation-able).
