Newbie, first script isn’t working

Just starting with CSS and not having any luck

I’m using a MFT and want to control volume and mute for channels. I’ve followed the directions closely and also tried to create a script using the web version, but Ableton 11 isn’t recognizing the input.

When I load my live project, it says the control surface is active. But nothing works.

I reset my MFT to factory default. I’m just using the first scene or whatever they call it, whre all the encoders are purple.

BTW, I do see this in the CSS log after I try to run things..

One other strange thing – there’s no way to select Button 1 to add a mute. It’s missing from the list of controllers. I don’t think I’ve used it elsewhere.

Hopefully this is a minor thing. I’ve got a bunch of controllers I want to use and am hoping remotify was a good investment.

Those errors are nothing to do with our scripts (even though they’re being logged as remote script errors),
I have chatted with Ableton about it who said it is related to a max4live device. See this post for more details: https://remotify.io/community/question/live11-macro-bug#comment-2347

If you’re using our MFT script then make sure your twister is set to factory settings (for the midi data). If it is sending different MIDI data then it won’t work with our template.

p.s. I’ve had a look at your script and it seems ok – I’m not getting any errors.

Thanks John. I’ve installed a bunch of maxlive devices I’m not using. Can I just ignore these errors or are they an obstacle i need to solve first?

If ignore, then maybe I’m missing something really basic? The MFT is set to the factory default and the firmware is up to date. The script seems to be installed correctly and you said it works.

The channels are all VST’s being controlled by external midi from edrums. That works fine. So I basically just want to create a mixer/mute functionality with the MFT.

Do I have to set inputs on my project or configure anything at the channel level?

I’ve been over every step and don’t see the cause.

I have noticed that if I cycle through the 4 different MFT Banks, bank 2 does have a couple of knobs that do change the volume of a couple of tracks. I didn’t set this bank up and figured a few knobs just happened to match. But it at least shows the MFT is connected to Live.

Hey,

This is a strange one. I dug out my Twister, set it up with your script and the twister template which comes pre-installed with the app. For some reason none of the controls were working.
However, I got it working by deleting the Twister Template and re-downloaded it via the import section.
Then after re-connecting each mapping and re-installing the script into Ableton, all knobs and buttons now work.
Note: I also performed a factory reset of the Twister.
Could you give this a go?
