Having trouble getting the “delay” switch to fire.

Hi all!

I recently purchased CSS and am loving it so far. The functionality I’m getting out of my controller is mind blowing– and being able to map parameters to where I intuitively think they are, as opposed to having to learn the manufacturer’s mapping, is making my life much easier.

That being said, I’m finally onto my last tweaks of programming my Novation Nocturn, and am having some trouble getting the “delay” switch to fire on/off messages. I’m trying to get buttons 1-8 to function as device selectors with a single press, and device on/off with a press and hold. I’m able to assign both parameters to a single button, and have Ableton both select the device, and turn it on/off with a single press, but when I set the device on/off switch type to delay, the device is only selected. Holding the button down does not seem to have any effect.

I’ve read that this switch is dependent on having exact on/off values, and I can verify that those are correct. My best guess at what’s causing this is that the Novation Nocturn has to run through its own proprietary driver (Automap) before hitting CSS, and through this driver an additional layer of switch settings (Momentary/Toggle/Incremental) is introduced. I’m having trouble wrapping my head around how this stacks with CSS’s switch settings.

To get buttons to toggle on/off, I know I have to set both switch types to toggle, and have CSS shoot back LED on/off messages to the button. Otherwise the button will work in inverse.

I’ve tried all 4 separate routings of momentary/toggle in both CSS and Automap, and none seem to be triggering the delay switch. The one that seems most probable to me is having both CSS and Automap as momentary switches, with LED on/off firing back from CSS, however this isn’t working.

Thanks so much for the help! Let me know if you need any further clarifications, I know this is a bit confusing to read.
