Check if a track object corresponds to the Master Track in Ableton Live

/ Published in: JavaScript
Save to your folder(s)
Returns true if the given track is the Master Track.
Problem with this approach is that always a javascript error is triggered, even when surrounded by try/catch, but it works.

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. // Returns true if the given track is the Master Track
  2. function isMasterTrack(track)
  3. {
  4. 	var api = new LiveAPI();
  5. 	var path = track.path.split("\"")[1]; // remove quotes from path
  6. 	api.path = path + " mixer_device";
  7. 	// post(api.type); // type is 'Track' for all normal tracks, Returns and MasterTrack so I try another way:
  8. 	var val = api.get("cue_volume"); // this parameter only exists when in the Master Track.
  9. 	if (typeof val == "object") {
  10. 		return true;
  11. 	}
  12. 	return false;
  13.         // Problem with this approach is that always a javascript error is triggered, even when surrounded by try/catch, but it works.
