Scripting in Studio One

[tonedef71]

It's 4.5 I'm testing on, best to have it backward compatible I suppose.

I updated the package with the backward-compatible changes (please see my initial post on this subject). The updated script adds a prompt to ask if you want to work with 3 beats per bar instead of 4 (e.g. if the song is is 3/4 meter). Unfortunately, the script only supports meters with 3 or 4 beats per bar and does not support meter changes within a song. Also, the script ignores chord changes that do not occur on a beat boundary.

Thanks I appreciate the help !
EDIT: I copied the chords to a new song and they printed fine so thanks again, if you have a PayPal I will send you a donation.
It's just going wrong at the start and at the end where the G goes for a bar and a half then the A starts on beat 3, but don't worry too much as I will try and work it out.

I fixed a couple of things:

ChordsToBiabTextFile.package.zip

Added "|" after new line

Code: Select all

// Add a new line after every 8 bars (except if last beat)
textBuffer.push(nl);
textBuffer.push("|");

Changed "♯" to "#" and "♭" to "b" for it to take.

Code: Select all

          var chordName = chord.name;
          if (chordName != previousChordName) {
            // Print the new chord name
            chordName1 = chordName.replace(/\u266f/, '#'); 
            chordName1 = chordName1.replace(/\u266d/, 'b');
            textBuffer.push(chordName1); 
            previousChordName = chordName;
          }

Thanks for sharing your changes; regretfully, I did not thoroughly test my script against many edge cases; also I was unable to test an import into BIAB since I do not own the a recent version of the product (I did purchase the first 16-bit Windows version of the product back in the 1990s). I have updated the download attachment in my initial post to be current with your fixes.

I had discovered that I do not need to change the extension from ".zip" to ".package"; at least not with Studio 5 anyway. Does ".zip" as the extension not work for you?

I'm used to Beta testing, that's how the Biab Plugin came around, it's all good.
I tried it with zip in 4.5 and it works as you say, it may of been an early version I tried it in before ?
Has the version of Biab you have got the RealTracks ?

If you think this is possible below I will have a go at it, was looking at the free Prime version it has no chord track but you can have empty midi items that you can name and color, if the pos, name and color events can be read, so this could be use as an entry for users if the below can be done as the scripts work in Prime.

Also I made a script in Reaper to fit pre recorded audio to the chord track (region track),
The audio file has a csv with the same name with it, the file is imported then start time and end time is adjusted to fit the chord region. The color are for different song sections verse, chorus, ending etc.. Users/musicians create the source tracks with a variety of popular chords and share them. With S1 using Melodyne any unavailable chords can be created from another chord.
If S1 can import media via script, set the start end time and read the color integer of the chords this would be great.

This is Studio One 4/4 to 3/4 to 4/4 then the same bars set in the BBPlugin.
In the BiabVST the bar settings are changed to 3 beats and the Style to a 3/4 then back to 4 beats and a 4/4 Style
Choose 4 beats in the script.

LawrenceF, Any chance you could re-post the Studio One scripting video, Part 1 the Basics, that was linked in this forum? It is is no longer available on YouTube. I know this is an old post, but there still is not much info out there on S1 scripting.

I have all the source file names, tempo, start position, end position in source file, source position in project and pitch shift amount in a text file.

With Reaper I use
reaper.InsertMedia( source_file, 0 )
then set
reaper.SetMediaItemTakeInfo_Value( sel_take, "D_PITCH", pitch )

reaper.SetMediaItemTakeInfo_Value( sel_take, "D_STARTOFFS", source_time_pos )

reaper.SetMediaItemInfo_Value( sel_item, "D_POSITION", track_time_pos )

reaper.SetMediaItemLength(sel_item, source_time_length, true)

So I want to do the same with Studio One, anyone know if this is possible ?

In Studio One you have an Arranger mode that you can split your song up into regions and go to them in live playback.
Just wondering if this can be controlled with a midi keyboard with scripting using the midi chord input detection function to go to that chord section within the timeline that is set to loop until the next chord is entered.
I know I'm probably asking on the wrong planet for this as Studio One scripting information is virtually non existent, but none the less I'll give it a go, again.
I have heard rumors about CIA clearance needed and users going missing after asking in the Presonus forum about scripting

Not that bad. I tried for some weeks and they finally gave me a contact to the Germany developer team. Once I get in contact with them, they told me the reason:
- There's no documentation available. Thanks for your interest.

[crossovercable]

I do scripting in Reaper and users always ask if I can do that with Studio One.

Look how easy this is:

Would you like to share the code?

Once I'm done I will, I wanna update the UI. I'm building up the SkinFile documentation, made a lot of progress so far.
