Specific Device Chain Control

Hi there,

I’m new to CSS and mainly bought it because I had the hope it would solve a problem for me concerning specific device control.

Right now, I’m trying to set up a control surface that allows me to control the eight macros of an selected instrument rack (via chain selector) within an instrument rack. Please see the exampled device chain attached to this post.

I already made it to control all eight macros of all instrument racks within the instrument rack at the same time. Please see the screenshot of the script manager in CSS. However, as I’m using this method as a VST preset selector, I only want to change the macros of the currently selected instrument rack.

What I thought could work, is to set up a ‘mode’ for every instrument rack in the chain selector which is then switched via a ‘mode selector’. I tried this, but the only controls available for the mode selection are PGM (program change messages) which are not supported in CSS.

Another option I read about is to use the ‘select device’ function to keep an focus on the currently chain selected device. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to do this. This thread goes in a similiar direction concerning drum racks:

Hope that somebody could help me out on this. Thanks in advance.
