ZoneEnd

Zone "Channel|"
	TrackNavigator

		"Send|1-8"

	Display|  		TrackNameDisplay
This works. I've got tracks now! Only pan and volume are working though, no sends or FX. If a track doesn't have an active volume envelope, the volume in Eucon starts at infinity until I touch the fader (either the software fader in Reaper, or the physical fader on the surface). Similarly, pans all start hard left in Eucon until I touch them.

If I load a new project, I lose my tracks on the surface again, and I have to reload Eucon from the Reaper preferences to get them back.

I think you're officially up to speed! The issues you're describing sound like the same Eucon issues I've experienced and Geoff knows about. So right now, when Eucon works, it won't initialize any channel faders at 0db. Move them even a tiny bit (mouse or surface) and it comes right back to life. Save your project with the fader at 0.0db and it'll open looking like it didn't work. Save the project with the fader at -0.1db, and it'll immediately work upon opening (assuming it connected at all - see next paragraph). A known issue.

The other trick to getting Eucon working from the onset is to have Reaper closed and open Reaper projects from file explorer. Now that you've got the two talking, give it a shot if you haven't yet - works here. Otherwise, yeah, open your project first, then re-add Eucon. For now, I'm using the old Eucon implementation for actual work, but will pop in and do some testing if there's a new CSI Eucon build just to see where things are.

I'm optimistic now that some bugs reported over the last week or two have been found, and some of the installation issues sussed out, that Geoff is going to be full steam ahead on getting this Eucon implementation into a more mature state.

Yes, those are just handshake issues -- present on Windows too -- great to hear you are working now !!

100% correct !!

Now that we a have a stable working system on both platforms, we can start to add more features.

Update FYI

WARNING -- The next build will have a very slight breaking change to CSI.ini:

Code:
Page "HomePage" FollowMCP NoSynchPages UseScrollLink NoTrackColoring 39 255 45
MUST be changed to:

Code:
Page "HomePage" FollowMCP NoSynchPages UseScrollLink NoTrackColoring { 39 255 45 }
The main outstanding task before proceeding to beta is the Learn Mode Window.

We will also continue to develop other items in parallel -- EuCon enhancements, special meters for certain surfaces, colour support, stepped values, etc.

Once again, please contribute any working and debugged .mst/.ost/.zon files that you have, so that when we go beta, we have a lot of folks operational out of the gate

Thanks Geoff.im just starting but gonna try to follow and stay up to date.speaking of learn mode window.it pops up with almost every button I push .is that normal ? And that change you referenced in the new build.mine currently says notrackcoloring 0 0 0 thinking my files are still out of date ?

Regarding FX parameters, there are essentially two separate, but related issues outstanding here.

The first (and potentially more serious) issue concerns particular parameters not "stopping" at their minimum or maximum values when fed from inc/dec encoders (the problem does not occur with Fader7Bit (absolute) controls)

Depending on the plugin, this can result in a loss of surface control or an outright crash of Reaper.

The solution would be to set bounds on the parameter in question so that no more inc/dec commands are sent when the boundary is reached. This would probably have to rely on the value returned from the plugin to CSI.

The second issue is those FX parameters expecting to receive a series of exact but non-contiguous values (ie "steps") These parameters can't be changed at all when fed inc/dec commands. Again, the problem does not exist for absolute controls.

The solution would be for the inc/dec commands to be translated internally into a series of stepped values, with each value sent on a tick of the encoder.

Because the solution for the stepped value issue inherently solves the first issue with bounds, I wonder whether there is a case for CSI always translating the inc/dec commands into an absolute value to be sent to the plugin?

No, that sure sounds like a bug.

No, that's fine, you just need to put { } around the 0's like this -- { 0 0 0 }

The syntax and parsing are more or less complete, see any holes in this ?

Code:
Zone someFX
    someButton FXParam 3 [ 0.0 0.25 0.5 0.75 1.0 ]
    anotherButton FXParam 7 [ 0.0-1.0 ]
ZoneEnd
The first one defines stepped vales and the second one defines a range that cannot be exceeded.

That looks fine Thanks, this will solve a ton of issues

Can they be buttons as well as encoders? (for the stepped example)

Just out of curiosity, how does CSI determine when the min/max values have been reached using an inc/dec encoder. Is it from the values returned by the plugin? (ie the one used for FXParamValueDisplay)

In your .zon file, do you have any buttons included that are not assigned to a legitimate action or assigned "NoAction"?

I've had the learn window pop up when I've included a button, but left it unassigned.

It uses the value returned, but it does not currently clamp it, it just adds the delta and proceeds no matter the value.

With the new range feature the value will be clamped to the range.

Buttons as well! Cool

Ok, the returned value. We'll still be able to use the stepped approach for manufacturers whose plugins don't always return values correctly (or even at all) ACUSTICA THIS MEANS YOU!!

Thanks for doing this Geoff. The more plugins I've mapped, the more I realise the auto/control implementation in them is very much the poor relation

The only other thing I had on my mind is whether a straight 1:1 relationship between inc/dec controller and stepped value change might be a bit fine for some surfaces. On the C4/MCU it's probably ok because the rotaries are detented, so changing by one tick is ok if you're careful, but on others where the rotaries are smooth it might come across a bit uncontrollable. Is this a parameter we could set?

Yeah, this gets us right back to acceleration -- well deceleration (negative acceleration) in this case.

This time we want to "ignore" a certain amount -- or thin the data stream - as opposed to amplifying it.

Acceleration is one of the key elements that will hopefully give CSI a great "feel"

That’s cool The way you have it at the moment will be fine, acceleration can come later.

As you know I own an XTouch Compact and once did and still do intend to work on a CSI configuration for same with the XTouch in it's more versatile native mode instead of the restricted MCU mode it provides.

Many months ago there were some issues with this device (e.g. handling the auto-LED-toggling of the buttons, using a rotary as a pair if up/down buttons, handling the global channel for tweaking the LED rings...).

Later CSI left me in the dust and I was too lazy to follow without any documentation.

But once a Beta state documentation is available I will take up this task again.

Learn mode window pops up when i press some transport buttons like play. Stop. Record.they all work but also invoke the window to pop up. Took a quick peek at my zone file and they are all coded for the action then next line will say something like "play reaper s&m cyclation _4".im using poetnprophet zone file and haven't had a chance to give a go at changing anything yet .and the stop and record are also have that s&m cyclation. Is this whats telling the learn mode window to pop up when i press these buttons ?

hey, the Learn mode is mapped to one of the Blank buttons, i forget which one but its on the far right side of the surface.

i have mapped many buttons to custom actions, so where ever you see cycle action or reaper action you may want to disable that and put your own there.

Also some of those, such as many transport buttons, are mapped twice for dual functions (such as play action will also toggle mute of the talkback track). You can disable the separate actions.

I think the learn window will come up if there are errors in the mappings that don't correspond to actual reaper actions. So for instance the custom cycle action that you don't have will cause the error and open the learn window.

You can put a / at beginning of the line to disable that line and action

Ok thanks all. Yes i have the sws extension and i did see the blank button mapped to the learn mode page.i will mess around with zone file and try to change some buttons and see how i do.thanks for looking out guys

Lovin this CSI !!! Got alot of the buttons on my proX remapped to actions i frequently use. Its really nice.
Quick question..
Is there a way i can have the action keep going as long as im holding down the button?.ie...got up n down arrow buttons mapped to zoom.i want it to keep zooming as long as im holding the button down and it stops when i release .is that possible ?? Appreciate any feedback

How do I get FX parameters to show up on my controllers scribble strip?

So if you only had 9 tracks, you'd get a bank of 8, and a bank of 1, followed by 39 empty faders. Not sure if that approach could benefit your situation, but it's something CSI is already doing elsewhere.
I think this behavior would be ideal. I don't see however how to set up this behavior in a MIDI surface.

I think the Pin command would be something good to use but i have no idea how it works and there is no documentation about it anywhere.

Also the NoAction command appears to block a button in all zones.

Code:
Zone Home
	OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackSendsToWidgets
	IncludedZones
		"Buttons|"
		"Channel|1-24"
	IncludedZonesEnd
ZoneEnd


Zone "Buttons|"
 Shift Shift
 Shift+Rec {ReaperCommand}
ZoneEnd

Zone "Channel|"
 TrackNavigator
 Shift NoAction
ZoneEnd
As I figure it out this setup should allow me to use Shift Button on the buttons from the "Buttons| "zone but not in the "Channel|" zone. Right? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I think the learn window will come up if there are errors in the mappings that don't correspond to actual reaper actions. So for instance the custom cycle action that you don't have will cause the error and open the learn window.[/QUOTE]

Btw you were correct.remapped those buttons and all is well.thanks man

New builds are up.

Learn Mode is now accessed by a proper Reaper Action -- "CSI Learn Mode" -- just search CSI in Actions list.
Just starting to clean it up, so remember, be VERY careful, it may crash at any moment

Also fixed EuCon config and initialization bugs.

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING

Breaking change -- you MUST modify your CSI.ini to include curly brackets around the Page colour (your numbers may be different):

Code:
Page "HomePage" FollowMCP NoSynchPages UseScrollLink NoTrackColoring 39 255 45
MUST be changed to:


Code:
Page "HomePage" FollowMCP NoSynchPages UseScrollLink NoTrackColoring { 39 255 45 }

At this point the best strategy is:

Make copies of everything.

Replace everything.

Make changes to the new setup -- the same changes you made to get your setup going -- refer to your copies for this info.

Confirming that the Eucon config problem appears to be fixed (i.e I no longer have to manually edit the zon file when making changes to the Eucon setup in CSI), but pan volume are still not initializing properly on the surface.

Updated .ini file with curly brackets so its { 0 0 0 } now, no issues there.

Good news! Sends and Plugins work again for the Nano

Still, contact with the controller is lost quite often when switching between sends and tracks or plugins and tracks; some crashes but nothing reproducible so far.

FX Plugin control is a tad slow in terms of fader movement and general reaction to the controller.

By the way, Is it possible to have more than 8 sends?

I tried "Sends|1-16" (instead of 1-8) but did not change anything, only 8 sends to switch through

Hmmm...

Checked this out, worked fine here a few times, then suddenly no go.

Restarted EuControl and Reaper and everything was fine again.

More investigation to be done...

You mean crash like Reaper exits ??

Yes, Reaper crashed a few times, but I couldn´t reproduce the crashes, so the cause is unknown. Was playing around with opening/closing sends menu and FXMenu and switching through fx and sends.

The Sends Menu crashed a couple of times and swichting back from Sends/FX to tracks causes frequenct loss of connection to the controller.

After restarting Reaper (couple of times) everything worked again except for the single occurence when the send menu crashed upon opening it; had to restart the whole PC then to get it working again.

So, since I couldn´t reproduce the crashes, it may have been just me or the .zones or something with the project loaded

The modifier keys (Shift, Alt, Control, Option) are universal, they apply to all zones and surfaces, so if you block them in one it affects all.

Other buttons behave normally.
