How can I get my APC40 script to behave as expected?

Hi,

I’m having problems getting my simple APC40 script to play ball. I’ve tried isolating the functions and exporting using a different computer but nothing seems to work. There are no errors generated.

When I use the native script the controller works as expected so I don’t think it’s a hardware problem.

Here’s a list of the issues:

• The 1st ‘Device Control’ encoder won’t display LED feedback – no matter what I do, whenever I load a script generated by CSS, even an empty one, the LED ring goes blank
• None of the encoders display the value they refer to – I think this worked in a previous version (although I could be mistaken), now I have to use reactions to display LED feedback, is this right?
• When encoders are assigned to macros or FX sends they intermittently get stuck at their current value – using my mouse to click on the clip grid seems to clear this but that’s not suitable for playing for live
• When faders are programmed to macros or FX sends the minimum and maximum values aren’t correct until the fader has been fully raised and lowered a few times, then they work – again not suitable for playing out
• Finally, can I check, are the variables m1-m20 local? Do I have 20 across the whole script or each set of reactions?

I really like my APC40, the more recent models aren’t built as well, so I don’t want to give up on it. Currently I’ll continue to use the standard script with some static assignments but I’d love to get CSS working properly so I can make more dynamic assignments for my sets.

I’ve tried this on an M1 Mac and Windows 10 PC, both running Ableton 11. I updated to the latest version of CSS but these issues persist.

I’d be very grateful for any help you can provide.

Cheers,

Neil
