OK, I took the first step implementing all changes from Funkybot´s list.

Basic functions, Pan, Panwidth work fine.

Sends and FX don´t work for me.

ToggleMapFocusedFX, FocusedFXNavigator still valid ? (use crashes Reaper)
Or is it SelectedTrackNavigator only now?

ToggleMapSelectedTrackSends still working?

Tested some stuff, but nothing worked, so I guess the actions are different now.

I don't want to mis-speak but here's what I recall.

Togglemapfocusedfx I do believe was taken out.

FocusedFXNavigator works though. Focusedfxnavigator goes in your fx zones and your main zone should have this line

OnFXFocus mapfocusedfxtowidgets

I can't speak to the sends. I was having trouble with them last night as well (not because they don't work, they do. It's just, up until now I've ignored any and everything to do with sends.)

The ToggleMapSelected sends and fx actions are gone. I believe the wiki is up to date on the available actions for v 1.0

Twister Led rings as meters
Still geeked about this

But the meters are showing level even when they are silent. As in, I solo'd the drums and the bass and guitar tracks still show level. Is that the intention or is that a bug?

always appreciate everyone's strategies and solutions here!

edit, yes the sends work perfectly, only taking up the space they need.
One other thing you could try would be to sneak the blanking in with the Sends zone. I have no idea if this will work, but it worked for me using the FXMenu zone in similar style (get rid of the GoZone statement and Blank zone you had previously) Make sure the OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackSendsToWidgets comes before OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackFXToWidgets.
Code:
Zone "Send"
        SendNavigator
        DisplayUpperB|      NoAction
        DisplayLowerB|      NoAction
        RotaryPushB|        NoAction

No doubts, this will speed up things.

I put the toggle with the rotaries and the touch action with the faders widgets as described.

I have two surfaces, A Icon Nano Single Channel and an Icon Xplus 8 channel.

I set up CSI.ini with both surfaces, each surface has 1 respectively 8 channels/Sends/FXmenus. Ticked Pages synched and Reaper follows surfaces

Here´s bothe zones the Nano .zon and xplus.zon below.

I cleaned them up, hope I didn´t erease too much.

I don't have an 8-channel MCU device (well, I could use my Artist Mix that way, but stick to Eucon) but that's what I got from checking out the included mcu.zon which isn't final. Eventually we'll get more updated .zon's out there.

Can you zip up or post your files? Sorry if you did that already (if so, just link to the post).

Hi guys!

I am pretty new to this CSI integration thing and I would love to get some help from you guys.

I recently got the Icon Qcon Pro X unit with extension and I am starting to work on my own Zone template. I can make basic commands to different buttons but I would like to program the Pro X display strip to show me different things

Is it possible to make it react to my actions? meaning that if I touch or move faders, it will show track volume on the lower part of the display. Or if I rotate the rotary knobs, it will show me the pan values? And if it is possible, how would I do it?


And a couple more random questions:
What exactly "ToggleMapSelectedTrackSends" means?

And could I make the rotary led lights center point in the uppermost led light?
Meaning that if I pan track example 100% right, it will only light up the right
side of the lights from the centre and not in the left side?
and vice versa

Thanks for the advance!

If your action does not report an on/off state to CSI, then CSI cannot control the button state.

Now...I've run into this too. Then it becomes decision time. You have a few options:

1. Live with the surface button being constantly on. Sometimes I'll do this.

2. Disable the light entirely (i.e. constantly off) by commenting out the feedback line in the .mst file for your surface. This is what I normally do.

3. Find a different action for that button.

Might not be the answer you wanted, but hope that helps.
Thanks a lot. It helped me indeed.

This feature is coming Currently the default is to show track name on upper and pan on lower.


Quote:

In the latest version it is deprecated and means nothing, Use:
Code:
SomeButton MapSelectedTrackSendsToWidgets
...to map the sends and
Code:
SomeButton GoZone Home
... to get back.

Doesn't it do this already? Mine do.

Which CSI pan action are you using?

MCUTrackPan is the new one and should handle this automatically.

If you're using the old "TrackPan" that action should probably be replaced with MCUTrackPan. But if you are using TrackPan for good reason, there's a "0" that you want to put after it.

I'll zip them and try again.

It occurred to me just now that if you don't want Hold+SomeButton to duplicate the same action assigned to SomeButton, in the case of toggles you can just add it again.

So in theory, this...

Code:
Click 		Reaper	40364   //toggle metronome
Hold+Click	Reaper 	40363	//Show metronome settings - problem here is that if your click was on before you pressed and held you just turned it off
Should be remedied by this, because your essentially toggling it twice...

Code:
Click 		Reaper	40364   //toggle metronome
Hold+Click	Reaper 	40363	//Show metronome settings
Hold+Click     Reaper	40364   //toggle metronome the second time

There was a lot here to update and I haven't tested it out yet but try this...

Note to all: if you have an MCU compatible device, this .mst and .zon should be a good starting point.

Please let us know how this goes.

Made some small changes: the Track button and Pan button do nothing. Send maps the sends. Plugin maps the FXMenu. EQ toggles the FX windows. Consider using Track for GoZone Home or something else.

You're a star! I'll definitely be testing this tomorrow.
You're right it is a chunky file and well beyond my capability as a zon file writer.

Despite this being a technically calamatous day, I've got around to testing.
I've not really got into sends etc, but None of the faders seem to work, and none of the channel select/mute/solo buttons seem to work. I waded through the MST file, which I must say looks much neater, but I'm guessing that the channel zone is incorrect at some point. Rather than fixing it, I'd rather you told me what to look for.
Thanks again

Default Help installing CSI

Hello All,

After a back and forth with Funkybot, I was advised to send further questions to the main CSI thread. Let me know if there's a better place for this.

My system is Windows 10 and my control surface is a BCR2000.

I have downloaded a BCR file, and zon file and sysex for my bcr here:

https://siniarch.wixsite.com/csiconf...ringer-bcr2000

So far I have successfully placed the CSI folder in my reaper path and placed the reaper_csurf_integrator64.dll into my userplugins folder. When I run the action "CSI Toggle Show Input from Surfaces" a window pops up and recognizes the turning of knobs on my surface.

In prefs Control Surfaces Settings I created a surface called BCR, given it 8 channels, 8 sends and 8 fx menu. Set BCR200 for MIDI In and Out.

Under templates I selected the downloaded BCR2000.mst file but I'm confused about the *Zone Folder*.

The zone that came with the download is for FX. I'd like to start simpler and map my BCR to control volume, pan, mute play, stop etc.

Studying other .zon files, I tried making a simple file where all there was was:

Zone "Home"
UserButton1 play
ZoneEnd

I saved it as BCR.zon

When I go to Prefs > Control Surface Settings > MIDI Surface and click the Zone Folder Menu, I don't see the simple .zon file I created.

Can anyone please advise me on how to start VERY simple. Like how do I create a .Zon file that maps a single button on my BCR to trigger Play in Reaper? From there I can expand.

Thanks everyone!
-Weston

PS please let me know if you;d like to see any screenshots etc

I waded through the MST file, which I must say looks much neater, but I'm guessing that the channel zone is incorrect at some point. Rather than fixing it, I'd rather you told me what to look for.
Thanks again
Hmmm....

Maybe the CSI.ini file? The format for the csi.ini file changed for 1.0 as well. If you were running a beta build, try exiting Reaper, deleting the CSI.ini file, then re-configuring your CSI setup. When you do, be sure to setup the device as 8 Channels, 8 Sends, and 8 FXMenu in the CSI device options.

Let's start with the .zon first...if you put this in your BCR.zon file, does it work? Don't forget to restart CSI (go to Reaper's Preferences, Control/OSC/Web, click CSI, click Edit, then hit ok a bunch to apply so CSI will rescan your files and apply the changes).

Code:
Zone Home
	IncludedZones
		"Buttons"
	IncludedZonesEnd
ZoneEnd

Zone "Buttons"
        UpperButton1         Play
        UpperButton2         Stop
        UpperButton3         Reaper 40364           //Toggle Metronome
ZoneEnd
If not, what does the UpperButton look like in the BCR.mst? MixMonkey knows way more about CSI than I do, so I wouldn't normally dare question an .mst or .zon file he created, but it's very possible that the BCR template is very old and the button syntax changed since. Otherwise, I've never seen buttons like in that particular .mst.

So I'd then suggest opening up the .mst file and change this...
Code:
UpperButton1 PressReleaseFB 90 20 7f  90 20 00
and make it look like this...
Code:
Widget UpperButton1
	Press 90 20 7f  90 20 00
	FB_TwoState 90 20 7f  90 20 00
WidgetEnd
Then restart CSI and see if that helps. If yes, do that for the other buttons in .mst file.

Geoff, have "AnyPress" widgets been removed or are they still a thing? Going to jump in and help with documentation.

It is very old and the syntax is certainly out of date.

@ GEOFF

Hey Geoff, here is a zip file containing Zones and Mst's for Icon ProX, Platform M and Platform B. All are with the new syntax changes and standard mapping compatible to the Reaper overlays that come with each surface ( except Platform M, no overlay comes with that just standard named buttons). All are ready to go in the CSI 1.0 folder if you want. They should be plug n play for a new user that are new to changing zones and mst files. Good starting point with many standard reaper actions to get them going.Thanks again for evrything

Hi, this might be a really dumb question but I ordered an Icon platform Nano and I'm wondering if it's possible to setup csi so that I could press a button and turn the fader into a midi cc controller to act as a mod wheel for virtual instruments?

Is anyone noticing some weird behavior when using FX ? ill try to explain.. i have 3 surfaces with 2 pages set up. 1 page all 3 surfaces do normal tracking then i have a page where just 1 surface handles the tracking , 1 handles sends and 1 handles FX. so in version 0.92 it works great . i switch pages and the faders drop and the displays go blank for the sends and fx surface . which is what i want. i press the MapSelected buttons on each surface for sends and fx and boom they come up and i have it so the mute buttons are all lit and the slots with fx the mute lights go out. all good.

Then on version 1.0 i switch pages and the faders stay and diplays are still showing the tracking info on the send and fx surfaces until i hit the MapSelected buttons on those surfaces.I have that tracking stuff slashed out in the zone files for that page . then i will select a track with say 3 slots with FX and if i go to a track with 2 slots of fx that 3rd slot will stay on saying NoMap and if i go to a track with no fx it will still show 3 slots with NoMap. and my mute button light out fx slot indicator thing that i want doesnt work since its thinking those NoMap slots are fx. The 0.92 version works perfectly for this . does anyone remember anything else being broke in that version ? i may switch back to that

I dont know its like things that should go away dont. on the 0.92 version all the fx works as i want it. i mean it works in 1.0 but its just weird behavior . So i was just wondering if anyone else is noticing anything weird

I hope i explained that understandably

The only 1 thing that isn't working for me, is the VUMeter for the master track. I've tried everything, every possible combo from all the code snippets on the forum and wiki, to no avail.

Did anyone manage to get the master meter working on any of the Icon Platform controllers? I'd be very happy if you could share your solution with me.

Maybe WaveTrans? I've notice you're using the nano controller yourself.

After I find a solution for the meter, I'll be happy to share a 100% working solution for the Icon Platform Nano for everyone to use.

Cheers

That might depend on if those virtual instruments expose their modwheel parameter to automation. CSI needs automation parameters to connect to. So if the plugin had a virtual modwheel on the GUI and that were an automatable parameter, sure, you could assign CSI to that.

I have a ProX and the master meter never worked with CSI. I think that was one of the many things on Geoffs list.

AnyPress is still there. I took a shot at updating the wiki and at that point I did go over the widgets list and made sure it was up to date with the code -- that doesn't mean I got it right though, there could be errors/omissions

Are you saying that things don't reset when switching pages ?

Here's some setup files for the Mackie MCU, XT and C4. They have the V1.0 definitions.

Yes . in the 0.92 version they do. 1.0 no. when i switch pages those 2 surfaces i have just for sends and fx should go blank and faders drop .at least i think they should . they do in the 0.92 version.all the track names and stuff from the previous page hangs around until i hit mapselected buttons.and i have all that channel tracking stuff slashed out for those 2 surfaces on that page .also when switch to a track with less fx slots then the one before those slots hang around as NoMap on the display which messes up my light system. I dont know if that was intended but its not like that in that 92 build. I just like that better.
thanks for your reply Geoff. Is this a bug ?

Ah, I see. Hopefully coming in a future update then

Did you manage to get the DisplayUpper and Lower to work on the master channel? I can't seem to get it display info for the master channel either. It just says "master" on the lower display when I switch to the master track..

Cheers
