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.

I’ve replied to your email, just seen this post here too, so will add it here also for reference…

Although it isn’t currently displaying the app, the files should still exist so don’t worry.

Your work will have saved, but what’s probably happened is the json file(s) in which your scripts/controllers are saved to have become corrupted for some reason.
First thing, have a quick read of this forum post: https://remotify.io/community/question/controller-disappeared-heres-how-… it explains how to get a controller template back if it has disappeared. (note: you can do the same for scripts by going to the folder ‘control surface studio > script’ folder.

Also, whenever you install your script to Ableton Live, the script file is saved in the midi remote script folder. You can retrieve the json file from there and re-install it into CSS.

Let me know how it goes.
