Control Surface Studio 3 Is Here!

Global Mode / Mode 0
This much requested feature brings a global “always active” mode which runs alongside the currently active mode.
Disable & Enable Mappings
Remove mappings from being generated in your script with this new enable/disable option.
New: Velocity ‘Is Between’ options
This is a game changer for velocity sensitive pads/keys/buttons.
Acceleration Settings For Relative Controls
And this is a game changer for relative / endless encoder style inputs which use various MIDI velocity values depending on how fast you turn them.
New Selected Parameter Mapping Type
Click a parameter in Ableton and have instant control over it from your midi controller with this super simple but super powerful mapping type.
Huge Improvements: Mapping Table Filtering
The filtering system in the mappings table has a new assortment of powerful tools enabling you to quickly find the mappings which you want to work on.
Select ‘Mode’ & ‘Controller Input’ In The Mappings Table
Change each mapping’s ‘Controller Input’ and ‘Mode’ directly in the mappings table. No longer do you need to open the edit form each time. A massive time saver!
MIDI Input And MIDI Feedback Now Have Separate Settings
If an input on your midi controller uses different MIDI data to light up its LED than the MIDI it sends when you press/turn it, then this new feature will be for you!

HI John, I must say I had the same reaction as Qsonic when I saw that I need to pay for the upgrade, given that when I purchased CSS it stated that it was a lifelong licence. It did not say that the lifelong access was to CSS2 specifically, but to CSS. I appreciate that a lot of work is needed to maintain and develop the product, but it is equally important to be honest and upfront with the custumers.

Hi Fluxiia, feel free to send us an email and we can discuss this. https://community.remotify.io/contact-us/
I must be honest, I only bought the upgrade when I saw the bugfix for the visible tracks listener. The update instantly fixed all my navigation issues in no time. That fix alone was worth the upgrade costs imo.
Apart from that its a very nice step up from the previous version, so well done!
