Newbie, first script isn’t working

1.49K viewsGeneral

Just starting with CSS and not having any luck

I’m using a MFT and want to control volume and mute for channels. I’ve followed the directions closely and also tried to create a script using the web version, but Ableton 11 isn’t recognizing the input.

When I load my live project, it says the control surface is active. But nothing works.

I reset my MFT to factory default. I’m just using the first scene or whatever they call it, whre all the encoders are purple.

BTW, I do see this in the CSS log after I try to run things..

One other strange thing – there’s no way to select Button 1 to add a mute. It’s missing from the list of controllers. I don’t think I’ve used it elsewhere.

Hopefully this is a minor thing. I’ve got a bunch of controllers I want to use and am hoping remotify was a good investment.

Hi,

The errors in your first post relate to a script simply called ‘test’. This isn’t a Control Surface Studio script as all CSS scripts are pefixed with ‘css_’. if it was a CSS script it would be called ‘css_test’

In your second post, it looks like you have named your script with spaces at the beginning… ” bw1″
Remove the spaces, this will cause errors.

test was a CSS script that I renamed. And I’m sure I didn’t put blanks into bw1′ name. But I’ll triple check everything today.

In the mean time a question: are there any ableton scripts or steps that need to be done before I run any of these? Does the MFT need to be setup in a certain way using their utility?

OK, so I deleted the old scripts I’d renamed, checked the names more carefully and removed blanks and created a new script. It installs with no errors. But in Live, nothing happens.

log.txt doesn’t show any errors. But the css Info screen does after I run live.
