how do you assign a switch to a record button on a selected clip slot

Hi –

Just getting started with CSS & a bit confused.

I’m want to set up a foot control switch (a Boss FS-5U) to record a new clip in an empty clip slot in Session view.

Using MIDI Mapping, I can assign the switch to the Clip Record button on an empty slot.
If the track is record armed, pressing the switch (a momentary CC message) starts recording.
Pressing it again stops recording & starts playback.
But of course the switch is hardwired to that particular track/clip.

Using CSS, I’d like to be able to highlight a particular empty clip slot and have the FS-5U switch affect that specific clip.

But there don’t seem to be any mappings for Clip Record/Stop buttons.

I’m sure I’m missing something obvious, but I can’t figure out what.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can perform clip based actions such as recording/playing/stopping by adding a Session Box (red box) to your script.
Session boxes can be a custom width (in tracks) height (in scenes). So you can make it a 1×1 box if you only want to control 1 track/scene.
From there you can add ‘Session box navigation’ controls so that you can move the box around your session in Live.
Here is a video tutorial on Session Boxes: https://youtu.be/dbWwmy395Vc
