Hey John,
This work around is okay, however it doesn’t function exactly how I would like. It does un arm any track when navigating tracks with the script. But it does not un arm other tracks when I select a track with my mouse and/or computer keyboard and then arm the track via my CSS script. It would be great if there was a work around for this, as I really like to use my script and my mouse/keyboard together. Especially with big sessions when it too cumbersome to click or scroll to select a track. In addition Ableton doesn’t scroll tracks with the “selected track” in the arrange view, which is primarily why I have to depend on scrolling and selecting with my mouse as opposed to using a script.

Thanks

Hey john,
Is there a way to do that in reaction v2?
Tried to import your script but it doesn’t let me copy that because it’s made with V1
Thanks,
Mauro.

Yes its super simple with Reactions v2, I’ve attached the script.

One important note, the action of arming the selected track is an update to the UI, so the listener can’t also be a UI event (ableton blocks UI to UI functionality – not us). Unfortunately this means that clicking the tracks with your mouse will not work.
So, the best thing to do is attach the action to all buttons or knobs which also select tracks in your script, like an add-on. So add all of these buttons/knobs as listeners in the reaction.
