Mode Change Resets All LED/Display States

Hey everyone,

First of all I love CCS and this is a great community with lots of valuable knowledge that enables me spending hours and hours creating “the perfect script”, a never ending project just as my songs :D.

I’m experiencing an issue with Control Surface Studio where switching between modes completely resets all LED and display states, and I’m looking for a solution or workaround.

The Problem: Every time I switch modes, all controller LEDs and CC value displays get reset to OFF and Zero. This happens even when returning to a previously active mode.

Example:

  • Mode 1: Button 1 LED is ON, Encoder 1 CC value display is at 127
  • Switch to Mode 2
  • Switch back to Mode 1: Button 1 LED is now OFF, Encoder 1 CC value display is at 0

My questions:

  1. Is there a built-in way to preserve LED/display states between mode changes at all?
  2. Has anyone implemented a custom solution to cache and restore states (modifiers would not be appropriate here, I guess?)?
  3. Is this intended behavior or a known limitation?

Any help or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! This is really disrupting my workflow as I have to manually restore all visual feedback after every mode change.

Thanks and best regards,

Jason

Hi, thanks for your kind words .
It’s correct that all LEDs reload when modes are changed. They should update to match their parameters in Ableton however. is this not the case?
