If selected Device is X > Then Input Y > Controls Z – Struggling with Reactions and modifiers

Hi there,

This might be very straightforward but would appreciate the help regardless – I’ve had CSSv3 for a week so just getting to grips. I can work out simple controls mostly from tutorials or messing about, but I’m struggling to get my head around Reactions. I have buttons and modes mapped so that I can enter into a Selected Track and button through Selected Devices, no problem! The Action(s) I am trying to implement and struggling over is as follows:

  • If Selected Device = EQ Eight
  • Knob 1 controls Parameter 6
  • Knob 2 controls Parameter 7
  • etc. up to Knob 12
  • If Selected Device = Auto Filter
  • Knob 1 controls Parameter 1
  • Knob 2 controls Parameter 5
  • etc. up to Knob 12
  • If Selected Device = Saturator
  • Knob 1 controls Parameter 2
  • Knob 2 controls Parameter 3
  • etc. up to Knob 12

Essentially, I am trying to understand how to set my script to listen to the name of the device (I think I can do that), and if it matches with that Reaction the knobs are reassigned to control the parameters that I want for that specific device.

My plan is to work this out for one device (likely starting with EQ Eight as I use it the most) and then I can duplicate and reset the Modifiers for each of the Devices I want to from there. If there is a better way of doing this I would love to hear it!

Hi John,

Thanks for the speedy response! I’ve made an “EQ Eight Mode” as suggested. For the reaction I am attempting the following:

Listener > self.song().view.selected_track.view.selected_device.add_name_listener

Condition > self.song().tracks[0].devices[0].name == “EQ Eight”

Action > self.set_active_mode(self.modes[None])

Not sure if this is correct but how do I make this point to the EQ Eight Mode to make it active?
