A simple script to be able to open Ableton Live files created in mac using Synth1 VST in the windows version of Ableton Live. Its WIP.
Usage in windows, open a command promt, copy the als file you want to process to where synth1mac2pc.bat is and then:
From Mac to Windows:
synth1mac2pc.bat /w filename.als
From Windows to Mac:
synth1mac2pc.bat /m filename.als
This will generate a file named
out.als
What I am doing is replacing 1450726194 with 1395742323 in:
<BranchDeviceId Value="device:vst:instr:1395742323?n=Synth1" />
and in:
<UniqueId Value="1395742323" />
So that Live can find the Synth1 vst
I am using http://fart-it.sourceforge.net for the text replace
And http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm for zipping unzipping the als file
