2.8 Mode Selector Issues

917 viewsGeneral
0

I have a successfully working Xone K2 Controller/Script combo for various mappings under the pre-installed “mode 1”.
I’m looking to expand to further modes and subsequent mode selection between them.
I have hit a roadblock.

I have the pre-installed mode 1 and mode 2 “enabled” on the “Modes” tab.

I have created my first mode 2 mapping by duplicating the “Device Parameter” I am using for Endless encoder 1 (in mode 1)
Changing this duplicated mapping to mode 2 and to a different “Device parameter number” from it’s mode 1 setting.

I have created 2 “Mode Selectors” and have assigned one to “mode 1 and one to “mode 2”.
Both are set to “scroll”.
Both are assigned to the same Controller input (Endless encoder 5).

Install the script, restart Live try Endless encoder 5 but the Mode selector is not changing anything.
(All Mode 1 mappings still work)

As previously stated, controller is working great for various mappings in mode 1.
“Nothing to display currently” in error log.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks for the prompt reply, Wim.

I now have two Mode Selector.s

Mode 1- “mode 1” selected under Mapping Name and notes “Modes” section
“Select Mode” enabled
“Mode to select” set to mode 2
“Controller Input” set to Button 34
Mode 2- “mode 2” under Mapping Name and notes “Modes” section
“Select Mode” enabled
“Mode to select” set to mode 1
“Controller Input” set to Button 33

Is this a correct routing for attempting to alternate between two Modes?

I’m only receiving a yellow message at the bottom pane upon opening the project and it lists “mode 1”

Hi Wim,
I’m sure it’s me but I think I have a decent grasp.
I have watched these vids a multitude of times and have tried as much as I could before reaching out.

I have a successfully running script, just an inability to expand on it by adding modes to it and switching between them.

I still might have explained things poorly so if its ok I’ll just attach some pics of what I currently have running.
Thanks!

No offense at all, Wim!
I’m so grateful you’ve taken the time to correspond.
Happy to hear that things look ok according to what you see thus far.

Your script works and now so does mine lol! (and it works in any of the Xone’s Latching Layers)
I’m pretty sure files were not copying over properly because after shutting down Ableton and CSS copious amounts of times even my script is now working.

The Xone certainly is a unique beast!
I apologize for not mentioning it initially but I was choosing to operate under Latching Layer 1 (Latching Layers Off) since even Button 33 is programmable under that mode.
I appreciate you sharing a working script to further confirm I was on the right track.
Thank you again for your assistance, Wim!

Argh!!!!!
Not so fast! lol!
OK, I’ve barely been up for air since your reply.

If you recall my initial desire was to use an Endless Encoder through the ‘scroll through modes” function, which is all still proving not to work.

I have also attempted to use “scroll through modes” with your working script, (which is a button assignment) but again, not working.

Do you know if this is simply a flaw of the hardware? or is it a flaw in me? ha!

Any chance you could please add on one more mode to the script you sent me and show me how you would cycle through 3+ modes? (whether it be button, knob, or Endless Encoder)
I have tried to implement the “Increment” custom command to no avail so far.

Many thanks
