Mode selection based on Track or Device Name
Not sure if this is possible, but would love to have the current mode be auto selected based on the selected track name or device name. This would make workflow so much better.
Had this idea in my mind then the user 5argon posted about it today so I know I’m not the only person thinking of this. Would be a powerful feature!
Thanks!

I recommend starting with the ‘Reactions Overview’ video 🙂
Hello davlar and John,
I replicated the code, changed the condition a little bit to ‘self.song().view.selected_track.name == “Test”‘ and the tempo would not change.
A simple (display a value in CSS log) action did work, but other actions do not.
The log shows an error: “Changes cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to defer your response.”
I do have a tip if you want to easily change bpm inside Ableton:
If you rename a scene to 123bpm, Ableton will automatically change tempo as soon as it starts this scene.
Well, your question still stands!
Most other actions I tried, were not working as well, The error always was: “Changes cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to defer your response.”
Because I do not understand the error, it is probably something we are overlooking, 😉
Thanks all… I’ve got my script switching modes according to the selected device name now, and even sending a midi command back to my Physis Piano as an additional action, to keep its selected “scene” in sync as well – awesome!
Hey Folks,
I’m new to Remotify so still learning.
I have created a script for my Midi Fighter Twister, which controls the selected track and selected device on that track. It only has 1 mode and within that mode, I have setup a 8 different parameter banks with 8 parameters. I can also navigate these banks.
The issue I notice is, when I select a device that only supports 1 parameter bank. The controller still allows me to select the 8 banks and I get LED feedback. Ideally I would like parameter bank 2 – 8 to be ignored/disabled if the selected device only has 8 parameters. If I select a device that has 16 parameters then only bank 1 and 2 would be enabled and the other banks would not respond etc..
My question, is the best way to get this behaviour by creating idividual modes for each device and to setup remotify to change modes based on device name, or, is there a simpler way to get the result I am after?
