Change mode of a midi controller with a different controller

I have had a browse but not clear if the following is possible:

Basically I would like to press a button on a midi controller which then changes the active mode on a different midi controller.

So either two scripts communicating with eachother, or two controllers in one script.

If not possible then I guess I could have a dummy knob/toggle in Live which I activate with one controller. The second controller then listens to this knob with reactions and changes it’s mode acordingly.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Seth,

I don’t know if my approach will seem relevant to you or not, but thought I’d mention it just in case.
I’ve got a bunch of controllers including a Push 2 that can handle track switching just fine, so I’ve focussed the CSS script I’ve made (for my keyboard) on device controls. So far I’ve got a “generic” mode, and a special mode for Analog Lab (with the parameter banking specially configured to match the on-screen controls in that particular plugin).
Thanks to this thread –
https://remotify.io/community/question/mode-selection-based-track-or-dev…
– I’ve now got it set up so that whenever I select a track or device, a reaction checks the device name, and if it contains “Analog Lab”, switches to Analog Lab mode.
So although one controller isn’t directly mode-switching the other, I think it’s actually preferable to have the keyboard automatically switching to the appropriate mode in response to “events”, rather than have to push a specific button to make it happen.
