Opening plugins isn’t a function which is available via MIDI remote scripting unfortunately. I did come across a keyboard shortcut a while back which can open plugins, but I found it to only work sometimes. I think you first need to have clicked the plugin and then the shortcut works.
UPDATE: to make a test, I have set up a reaction that sends the value of a knob to the meter, adjusting the ranges. Logging the reaction, I have a lot of red messages saying python errors: Traceback (most recent call last): File “output/Live/mac_universal_64_static/Release/python-bundle/MIDI Remote Scripts/_MxDCore/MxDCore.py”, line 1565, in install_observer_listener File “output/Live/mac_universal_64_static/Release/python-bundle/MIDI Remote Scripts/_MxDCore/MxDCore.py”, line […]
This error can happen if you have a ‘device selection’ mapping in your script which doesn’t have number assigned for the ‘Select Device Number’ field. I don’t see one in your script, but I do see some mappings in there which don’t appear to be of any recognised mapping type.
This is quite puzzling, if an error is not being logged, – are you changing the mode? – is the same MIDI velocity being sent by your navigation buttons when pressed? The script you uploaded only has session box and sess box navigation controls so obviously you wouldn’t be changing the mode in that one.
So you only want it to turn Solo on and not off? You could set the ‘off’ velocity value of the button to wrong value. i.e. not zero.
Only scripts created using CSS can be imported into it and edited. They use a json file in order to configure everything, not the .py file.
Hi John, So i had a play around with this today – the only difference between my script and yours was the midi value for on. When I changed it to 87 on my controller is stopped working but that makes sense to me. The session box navigation is working again which is good but […]
Also, if I remove the nanokontrol as a “control surface” in ableton then the 3rd party vst’s do receive the midi cc but it doesn’t work when I use it as a control surface.
Cool! so the Nightverb synth can be used as a midi controller?
I’ve created a script containing a session box and 2 sess box navigation mappings. 1 increment and 1 decrement. This works as expected, moving the session box left and right when pressing the buttons. Here are my settings for the increment button (decrement is the same but selected ‘decrement’ for the ‘control type’ menu). I’ve […]
