Encoder Ring Parameter Value Update
Parameter position update when selecting devices
I have a set of encoders dedicated to “device control..” When I select a track those encoders now controls the 2nd device on that track. The Device function seems to be working. What is not working is that the encoder ring does not update to the parameter values when I go back to a device/track that had previously been altered. How do I get configure CSS so that when I select a device it updates the encoder rings to represent the current parameter values?
I’ve attached my controller and script files for a better understanding.
I am new to CSS, so any guidance is appreciated.
P.S. below are other topics I am trying to solve for that may or may not be related:
– Dedicated device mapping – My Goal: I have one button that I would like to dedicate to control of a specific parameter on a specific device in a specific track, and have that button change functions in a different mode. I want the button to stay focused/dedicated to the specific parameter, regardless of which track I have selected. (FYI, in my first mode I intend to dedicate this button to the Loopers “multi-button”)
– Track Select & Arm – I have a row of buttons for selecting and arming tracks. My goal is that. When I click a track button that it selects the track, arms the track, and turns the LED red. When I click the track button a second time the track stays selected, but is no longer armed and the LED turns white.
(I would be OK with select first and arm second too). In Ableton preferences I have exclusive arm select and in the options.text feature I use -EnableArmOnSelection. These work well for my Push 2 workflow. Right now, the current (undesired) behavior I am getting is some tracks are arming first, some are selecting first, and many are staying armed when I select a different track.
Hi,
In the mapping, do you have LED feedback turned on and sending to your ring encoder control?
To do this ‘control of a specific parameter on a specific device in a specific track” you just need to make sure you don’t choose ‘selected’ for the ‘Track’ and ‘Device’ .
For this ‘When I click a track button that it selects the track, arms the track, and turns the LED red”
You would probably need to use the ‘reaction’ mapping type.
We have some tutorials on using it (links below) but we have a new version on the way very soon which will improve usability and what can be done with it.
