Chain Selection – Chain Number to Modifier
In a Device Parameter Mapping I would like the *Chain Targeting>Chain Number* to be controller by a Modifier (See Attached Screen Shot)
I would like this modifier to output the chain number of the currently active/selected chain in Ableton.
I have attached the current iteration of my script to try and achieve this, I feel like I am close but can’t seem to find the ‘active chain’ condition.
I may have found a solution to your problem. This reaction will log the current Chain Selector’s Value of the first Device (which must be a Rack) in the first Track. The Reaction Listens to a change in fired Clip Slot.
In other words, if you were to fire a Clip inside the first Track, this reaction will activate.
And if that Clip changes the Chain Selector’s Value (via automation) then you will be able to read that change in the log on CSS.
The Reaction will also store that Value as an integer in modifier m2. Which means you should be able to use m2 for dynamically mapping Device Parameters of Chains.
I’ll write up a more detailed Google Doc about this, because I don’t really like using this forum for detailed explanations. CSS currently doesn’t seem to have a native way to access Chain Selector data, that I know about, so I had to use some custom code.
