Scripting in Studio One

[heliacal]

Cakewalk Sonar just added Lua as their scripting language and glancing at it, it looks good. While I wouldn't want to go to Cakewalk again, I wish that Studio Pro would follow suit though I know they are heavily invested in Javascript. Still seeing Cake offer it, it would be nice to expose a scripting language API to the public.

Not much you can do from what's currently known. That just returns a 0-based index for which variation is assigned to a note, -1 = none, 0 = first, 1 = second, etc.

My main question is how to assign any sound variation index to a selected note. I hope there is a function like "setSoundVariation(...)" but I don't know how to check it?

As of right now there isn't.

You could possibly achieve what you're looking for using commands in your script: https://csources.github.io/Studio-Pro-S ... -variation

Yes, I can try using the commands. I didn't know I could integrate them into scripts.
Thanks for pointing that out.

I found soundVariationMap with lookupVariationByID, so you can get the actual names, not just an index number.

Here's a Select by Sound Variation script, inspired by Lukas' Select Notes by Sound Variations. It selects notes in the Note Editor (Piano View) based on their assigned Sound Variations. This one has a ListView so you can select them. Get it here.

Thank you so much for this sound variation script. I'll try it out in the next few days when I work with my DAW.

Hi Fidelitymusic,
I tried out your new "Select by Sound Variation" script but ran into an issue: the script works very well and displays a ListView showing the names of the first 50 sound variations defined in the soundVariationMap. The problem is that it displays the sound variation names while ignoring the folder structure. When I use the script with VSL instruments, the displayed names are very misleading, as you can see in the screenshot below:



Do you know if there is a way to display the folder structure alongside the sound variation names?
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks again for your work; I’m learning a lot by studying your script examples.
