Select Track in box
I hope I have this right;
I have a box consisting of 8 columns
I know I can use left and right to move the tracks, that works but its not how my workflow operates. I have 7 tracks grouped giving a total of 8 tracks. These are logically grouped into instruments etc. There are 8 of these groups. I want to select a box (using the bottom row of 8 keypads to move 8 tracks at time) and then be able to use the 2nd row of keypads to highlight a track within that box ie pressing the 2nd keypad should select the 2nd track within the box.
I am unable to work out how to do that…highlight doesnt seem to provide a box relative option and uses absolute positioning?
Thanks for any help

Hi Mark,
The highlight mapping doesn’t currently have an option to select relative to position of the session box…
However, this can be done quite easily using reaction mappings.
See the attached screenshot. In the ‘do this…’ section, see the second input box, this will select the second track inside the session box.
The number ‘1’ in there is the track number.
Tracks are zero indexed meaning ‘0’ is track 1, ‘1’ is track 2 and so on.
I’ve also attached the script so you can simply download/import it into your CSS and use it.
Thanks
John
Oops my bad!
The middle menu in the ‘do this…’ section should be set to = and not ( )
I have updated the script (attached)
Check you Reaction, looks like you’ve entered:
.song().tracks.song().view.selected_track
it should be:
.song().view.selected_track
Yes the argument is decimal, 80 was simply used as an example, it can be whatever you need.
== 96 should work if the button sends that value when it is pressed. Live registers a button press behind the scenes, the reaction simply checks its velocity value at that point.
Can you use visible tracks in your reaction instead? this would ignore folded tracks.
visible tracks looks like this:
self.song().visible_tracks[0]
Compared to all tracks:
self.song().tracks[0]
