create_automation
Create automation curves for device parameters in Ableton Live clips. Define points with time and value, optionally set durations for linear ramps or instant changes.
Instructions
Create automation for a device parameter in a clip. points: list of {"time": beat_position, "value": param_value, "duration": 0.0} duration=0 creates a step (instant change). duration>0 creates a linear ramp. Example: automate filter cutoff from open to closed over 4 bars: points=[{"time":0,"value":1000},{"time":2,"value":200},{"time":4,"value":1000}]
