Set modifier as selected track number???

0

Ok im trying to set a fader to control the volume of a selected track, but then offset it.
So lets say I have 8 faders and I select track #3. I want to control track 3-11 with my 8 faders incrementally.

The way I imagine to do this is with using modifiers to make the track number the faders control.
But I need to get the track number from a reaction.

So in my volume control it controls track m1,m2 etc etc for each of the faders up to m8. that way the track number controlled is the modifier. which im going to try to make “Selected track number+1”, “Selected track number+2” etc etc.

My listener right now is:
self.song().view.add_selected_track_listener

So it triggers whenever i select a new track.

then in the action I have “self.set_modifier_value(“m1″, [….])” as modifier to set the m1
This way im setting the modifier… i hope. I’m starting to get lost here.

And then I am kind of stuck on the output on the action to set the value to be equal to the track number. Especially since it seems to only output a range based on observation.
I’m looking around all over but there seems to be no track number.

It probably looks something like self.song().view.track_number. But I do not see that command in there anywhere.

The devs have created some user-friendly mappings that can help you out:

1. Session Box Mapping

Keeps track of its own offset which can then be used inside a Track Volume Mapping. I can’t find a tutorial about this mapping but most of the features seem easy to understand. I think you don’t even have to assign buttons to clip slots, you can just use the session box for its offset data, if that’s what you need.

2. Session Box Navigation Mapping

Using this mapping, you can set up a knob to scroll through tracks. For this question (see my second answer) I made a few Reactions so that you could use buttons to navigate left and right through the tracks (if you’d rather do it with button presses than with a scroll knob).

3. Track Volume Mapping

As you can see in the picture, there’s an option to make the Track relative to the Session Box. With this set to yes, Track 1 = the first track inside the session box. If Session Box is positioned starting at Track 3, then Track 3’s volume would be adjustable using these settings.
