Applescript Utility?

[dintymoore]

Is anyone here familiar with the Applescript Utility?

In specific, I want to see if I can do this:

* Ableton Live plays a MIDI clip that sends out a MIDI message
* the app MidiPipe has an Applescript trigger, and I will be able to turn that MIDI message that Ableton sent out into an AppleScript trigger
* AppleScript then opens up a TextEdit file that is displayed on the desktop

Will that work?

The idea is that with each song Ableton plays there will be a page that is displayed that has the chart, lyrics and performance notes.

I'm still looking for info on this and have read several tutorials.

Is there anybody out there who has some knowledge of Applescript?

I can get it to open other programs but am stuck on exactly how to get a specific CC# or Program Change to open a certain .jpg.

The script on the following page ought to get you started:

It shows how to determine the channel and stuff in the AppleScript message. From there, it's just a matter of doing the right thing with that info.
