“Fire highlighted clip slot” Reaction is broken
The code produced for the Action “Live Object Model > Clip Slot > Fire (highlighted clip slot)” as generated by CSS has no effect for me.
CSS produces this block:
self.song().view.highlighted_clip_slot.fire(None, None)
For reasons which are beyond me, this code is not functional.
I have converted this block to custom code with the provided button “<>” and removed the “None, None” string, producing this block:
self.song().view.highlighted_clip_slot.fire()
This code triggers the expected behavior, as described in the tooltip for this action block.
This functionality is useful to me since the session box can be awkward for a minimal controller. Mine has four knobs and six buttons; the clip highlight approach allows me to use fewer modes in a more streamlined and intuitive layout, while requiring less code overall.
This issue took me an afternoon to solve, and I was nearly ready to give up on CSS when the solution came to me! I hope this is helpful.

Clipslot > Fire requires adding values for ‘Record length’ and ‘launch quantization’. If you leave them blank, it generates the (none, none) as you mentioned.
There is also a ‘clip > fire’ option which doesn’t require any extra values to be included.
