CSS 2.8 is now available!
Hi all,
We’re super excited to announce that version 2.8 of Control Surface Studio is now available. Based on feedback from our amazing community of users, we’ve rebuilt the entire User Interface from the ground up with a focus on making the workflow more clear and simple to use…

I’ve noticed that the controller editor seems a bit broken for me. If you try to add keys or pads to a controller and edit the number of keys or pads to include, it glitches out some random number of keys/pads. If you try to edit it after that, a cialog box appears and the whole app freezes up requiring a force quit. It seems like this causes a fatal error for CSS.
CSS 2.8 running on Windows 10.
Screenshot #1 – shows the result of clicking the pencil icon and choosing an 8×8 pads grid
Screenshot #2 – shows the frozen dialog box that displays after clicking on the pencil icon second time. (will not let you select Cancel or Save – just have to quit the app).
Screenshot #3 – shows the same thing but for keys instead of pads. Chaged the default keys # from 24 to 49
Thanks for the continued support of CSS and congrats on th 2.8 release. Hopefully only a few bugs to shake out.
I just noticed another bug with the controller editor after having success porting my controller template with the template cleaner for v2.8 – https://remotify.io/tools/controller-template-cleaner.
The MIDI value tooltip hides behind other controller objects (buttons, faders, etc).
Hi John, thank you for the update.
Maybe I overlooked something but I can’t make “device parameter” to send LED feedback to a MIDI Fighter Twister (works for example with “track volume” as expected) ?
Appreciate the ongoing development.
Kind regards, mj
I’ve built really complex and nicely running scripts with 2.7 which took me several hours there.
And Situation with 2.8 is for me:
– I cannot import: modes are missing (with or without “cleaning”)
– general the usability ist HORRIBLE !
— no more grouping of modes tracks devices means scrolling ways too much
–1-2-3 “wizzard” with closing accordions in the modal dialogs is HORRIBLE!
… and many other details do really suck now.
Keep in mind: Your customers are paying for this program.
Get it back to 2.7: the UI was much better. Only add (back) the “fly-out”-Dialog to modify Mappings …. as it was on the screenshot and video tutorials.
I returned to 2.7 from my backups.
@ewersk: I wouldn’t call it horrible… But I agree – I also prefer the previous workflow (version 2.6 with the separate, docked script edit window) that used even less mouse movements and clicks to open and close edit windows.
Regards, mj
