How Do I Map Ableton Device Paramters w/o Macro Knobs

Hello,

I am wondering how to setup my controller to control more than eight parameters on an Ableton device.

For example:
I want to control the gain, frequency, Q, slope, and on/off for each of the eight bands. That’s 40 paramters.

I watched the Device video, but it only shows Ableton devices being mapped from the macro knobs. That only gives me control of eight parameters, right? I need to control 40 parameters, lol.

Is it possible with just CSS; and if so, how?

Thanks

Yes you can do this. With css you can create Device parameter banks of any size (currently the limit is set at 127).
If you want to control native Ableton device (not a plugin), unfortunately there’s no way to arrange the order of the parameters inside Live, so it will need a bit of trial and error to find the parameters you want to control.
I know you said that you already watched the video, but it’s worth watching this part specifically to make sure you know how to do this correctly: https://youtu.be/SSfaVfDqt7M?t=283
The “select parameter by: number” option is what sets which parameter number to control in the device, see my attached screenshot.
Note: if its a plugin that you want to control, then you can arrange the order of the parameters inside Live.
