Mapping Faders to specific Tracks Via track name

Hello,

Apologies if this has been asked already but I couldn’t find the answer in the forums. I’m wondering if someone could help me figure out the right reaction recipe for the following situation:

I’d like the 8 faders on my APC40 to be mapped to 8 bus tracks regardless of their track# in the session. My impression from the remotify videos is that this should be possible with reactions and exact track names (i.e have Fader 1 control “DRUM BUS” Fader 2 Control “BASS BUS” etc…) but I can’t seem to figure out a workable reaction recipe. Can anybody help me or point me to the appropriate documentation?

Thanks so much!

Caleb

Hey its quite easy to do this, you just need to use a Reaction and modifier.
I’ve just published a guide here with an example script:

Thanks so much John! This is a really helpful guide.

A note for future readers, the script John posted in the link above works but you have to move the named tracks around (at least one of them) for a the Fader (or whatever you’ve mapped) to catch the named track. Immediately upon initialization the fader defaults to the first track in a set but it works correctly once you move the named track’s position (DRUM BUS in the example) and it continues to work even after you’ve added other tracks or moved the named track around.

The Reaction only updates when the script is initialised and when tracks are added/moved/deleted.
if you also want the Reaction to update when you rename a track, add a Track > Name listener for each track you want to listen for changes on (make sure to set the correct track number in the Path Menu for each listener).
It’s not currently possible to add this for all tracks with 1 listener.
