Bulk change common peramiters in tmplates

So I came across this ineffective and time-consuming way to have to fix the controller template for my zone K2… Your downloadable custom template for the key to lists every one of its controls under Mitty channel 15 when my device has everything set up at channel 14 at least as far as the mini messages it sends by default. Not sure if this is a change to make the key to work with an M1 Mac but that’s beside the point.

The point is is that there should be an easy way to change each individual controller set up in the template editor to be able to change general settings for instants in this case wouldn’t it be nice for me to go and change every mini channel of each part of the template to channel 14 instead of it being on channel 15 which means they’re all wrong! Needless to say this is incredibly frustrating and I know it would be very easy for you programmers to put in a select all option at least for the very common parameters of all the controls… Anyway your product allows me to do things that I could not do without it so even though it’s annoying in some respects it’s also indispensable as a product… so thank you for your efforts

No worries I like your solution to when I should’ve done that actually I’m planning on taking care of that for the entire K2 and then I guess I would be posted up here so will be put into the repository of control surfaces? The odd thing about this control surface is that I believe they changed some of the implementation when they upgraded the device for M1 architecture… It seems as if at least some of the midi channels changed as well. Anyways I’ll get on that solution you suggested for the rest of the devices on the k2 I have another serious problem that should be easily sociable but I’m having trouble fixing it which I will post about another post… But I’ve always been a technologist and looking for solutions to problems and helping artists with their technical woes has been a side gig of mine for quite a while… Any chance the company would be looking for another tech support person?

Hi Wim,

I n this attached script I need a way to change the track number (now it’s set to 4) and the pad number (now it’s set to C20) using your method described above by text replacing the JSON file.

I tried and it kind of works:
To replace the pad I text replaced ‘C20’ to ‘C21’
To replace the track I text replaced “value”:4 to “value”:5

This works, if i import it again in CSS then all track options are updated to 5 and pads to C21
But I think the underlying code is not updated in CSS, just the parameters in the fill in boxes are updated..Could this be true?

It also doesn’t work when I upload it in Ableton and it also replaces the ‘4’ to a ‘5’ in the velocity settings and probably also in other places..?

So I need a way to do this because I have to make this script for 19 other tracks!

It would be great if you could point me in the right direction!
Thanks,
Jan

Hi,

I made it work by replacing the following text in the JSON file:
[self.track_num(3)] => update the track number

self.midi_note_ch_0_val_59 => update the midi value

C20 => update the pad number

This saved me hours of work in CSS..
I wonder if it would be possible to have a version of the app in ‘excel’ style where you can get to all the parameters quickly to select and change them (without all the submenu’s and scrolling around) and also with the possibility to select multiple parameters in the script and copy the same value to the selection..
Anyway, I made it work!
