Control Surface Integration (CSI) Technical Feature Discussion

You have the Rotary definitions right -- any | characters get replaced with a number, so autogenerate gives you RotaryA1, RotaryA2...

You are missing the switch to turn it on -- and yes there has been discussion of having a checkbox option in config to have it default to on -- saves having to map a button for it -- but for now, you need this last piece in your Buttons Zone and you should be good to go:

Zone Buttons
         someButton ToggleMapSends
ZoneEnd

Would it be possible (now) to map out all 8 of those sends and send mutes without using the autogenerate?

It links scrolling between Screen and Surface. So if you select a track on screen that isn't visible on the surface, the surface will bank to place that track on the left hand channel of the surface(s) or a specified channel:

 someButton ToggleScrollLink 17

.. will place the selected track on surface channel 17.

Similarly, if you select a surface channel that is not visible on the screen, the screen will scroll to place that channel at the left hand end of the Reaper mixer.

Not at the present time, though it has been discussed.

So if I wanted to map out my various eq knobs on my Console 1 to the send controls, I could do that right now by renaming the controls, "EQ1", "EQ2", etc?

[Mr. Green]

Is there a "set to default value" action?

i.e. Press the send (or FX) knob to reset the parameter to it's default value (like double-click in Reaper)?

...or perhaps a way to send a specific value?

Btw - I discovered that if I precede the command "ToggleMapSends" with the condition "OnTrackSelection", I can crash the whole DAW - muahaha. :-)

Uh-oh, then don't do that

Seriously, thanks for finding that one.

Yes, with the new build just put up.

[Geoff Waddington]

New build is up.

You can now make Sends/FXMenu Zones manually, but you must do this like so:

Zone Send1
        anyButtonYouLike SomeSendAction
ZoneEnd

Zone Send2
        anyOtherButtonYouLike SomeSendAction
ZoneEnd

Zone Send3
        yetAnotherButtonYouLike SomeSendAction
ZoneEnd

The Zones MUST be named Send1, Send2, Send3, etc.

Was educated by this post now

From thread

Use of the regularly updated list is of course preferable.

Thanks for making me inquire.

Right Click is always your friend in Reaper

OK so we have:

ToggleScrollLink

ToggleMapFX
ToggleMapFXMenu

Might as well add
ToggleMapFocusedFX

Good folk, please assist in coming up with nice short names for these for the Surface config panel a la:
Reaper Scrolls With Surface
Automatically Map Sends
Automatically Map FX
Automatically Map Focused FX

Any others we're missing ?

[Freex]

How is the configurator coming along MixMonkey?

Any new improvements to try?

Yep, have sorted out the Zone saving under different names and also rewritten the ZoneLoad code so it's faster. Also squashed a few bugs.

Work on modifiers is ongoing and I've just discovered a bug that I have to fix before you can play with it

All sounds great, it explains your absence, too busy coding.


I look forward to it.

Digging in now...

btw - where is this supposed to go?:
"SelectedTrackNavigator"

..and - please forgive me for asking - how does it work?

edit: - also, does it still require a toggle?

If you have a Zone that requires a Context -- SelectedTrack, FocusedFXTrack etc., you indicate that by providing a Navigator.

Since Sends are based on the Selected Track the Zones should look something like:

Zone Send1
        SelecteTrackNavigator
        aButton anAction
        anotherButton anotherAction
        ...
ZoneEnd

Zone Send2
        SelecteTrackNavigator
        aButton anAction
        anotherButton anotherAction
        ...
ZoneEnd

[MixMonkey]

Geoff, would it be a lot of work to make modifiers work in the context of GoZone buttons? ie

 Shift+SomeButton GoZone SomeFXZone

Not as far as I can tell, only tried it in the context of FX Zones though.

BIG THANK YOU!!

[Mr. Green]

Question for any who might know,
I found in one of the .mst files a button with an extra value of "0.5" attached to the end. It has the effect of keeping a "momentary" led lit. What is that 0.5 doing exactly?

Widget MC
	Press 9a 10 7f
	FB_TwoState 9a 10 7f 8a 10 00 0.5 <=====???
WidgetEnd

On a related note, I have found that I can assign a button to a TrackSendVolume output and would like to alter it's maximum value. Would that be possible?

[Mr. Green]

Geoff - I think a question for you:
Do you know the "Shape" VUmeter midi value for the Console1?

[Mr. Green]

Ugh - I'know I'm killing you guys - so srry...

So I need to create separate zones for "Focused FX (floating)" and "Focused FX Chain". Is that doable atm?

edit: - or maybe I just need to know if "OnFXFocus" will work for both?

Are you using the C4.mst with the update modifier's? It was wrong forever, that one stumped me for a while until I figured it out.

No, I saw your post and changed them to the right messages

The Modifiers are definitely operational, putting them before an FXParam produces the expected behaviour, plus you see the Automation lights on the MCU come on when Shift is pressed (I guess modifiers are global, ZoneLink is off)

I wanted to use them in the context of GoZone because it would greatly expand the number of extra Zones you could access from the C4 lower buttons, without the messiness of the usual modifier+Push/Rotary parameter access ie you have to use two hands everytime you want to access a modified control.

If you could just switch into a Zone using the modifier, the modified behaviour is then latched and you can use one hand again.

[WaveTrans]

Hello again!

Unfortunately, the Reaper action feedback is kinda' all over

Some return feedback, others don't, others seem permanently on, etc.

Try exchanging the zoom/nudge definitions in the .zon file, and see what happens.

I did that but it did not change the described behaviour just shifted it to the marker button.
I sort of solved the nudge issue by finding that I never needed it before so
I assigned ToggleScrollLink to it, which works perfectly fine now.
Engaging it switches on ToggleScrollLink, the nudge button is lit, but the select button is also lit and remains lit without showing any apparent effect.

By the Way, I think the tick box idea for the ToggleScollLink function in the set up menu is good saving a button and the requirement of pushing it

Yeah, this will be documented later, but see the definition:

Channel|1-8

that means it will be expanded to Channel1, Channel2, Channel3, ... Channel8

also anything with a | will get replaced by a number so

Zone Pan|1-8
	TrackNavigator
	Rotary| TrackPan 0
	RotaryPush| GoZone PanWidth|
ZoneEnd

will generate Rotary1, Rotary2, Rotary3, .. Rotary8

See how your .mst file has this:

Widget Rotary
	Encoder b0 10 7f
	FB_Encoder b0 10 7f
WidgetEnd

There is a definition for Rotary, not for Rotary1, Rotary2, ... etc.

Sine you only have one Channel, you can avoid all of this -- just keep your .mst file and modify your .zon files like this:

Zone Home
	OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackSendsToWidgets
	IncludedZones
		Buttons 
		Channel
	IncludedZonesEnd
ZoneEnd

Zone Channel
	TrackNavigator
	....
	RotaryPush GoZone PanWidth
	Rotary TrackPan 0
	.....
ZoneEnd

Zone Pan
	TrackNavigator
	Rotary TrackPan 0
	RotaryPush GoZone PanWidth
ZoneEnd

Zone PanWidth
	TrackNavigator
	Rotary TrackPanWidth 1
	RotaryPush GoZone Pan
ZoneEnd

I did as told, removing the | symbols, which was successesful for Pan and faders!

Did also adapt the Pan as suggested so Track Pan is working now; it seems that Pan is switched on/off by rotary push while I believed it is meant to re-center the panwidth (set up wrong or my misunderstanding?). Faders (Master and Slave) work too.

The scroll left/right/up/down works fine if the buttons are in the Button zone;
Then I tried to set up Zoom in/out using "Zoom GoZone Zoom1" and alternatively "Zoom+up" etc.; in both cases the key arrows zoomed in both directions independently of the zoom button and no scrolling anymore.
The zoom button refused to light up and function although a midi command is sent (64).

Widget Zoom
	Press 90 64 7f
	FB_TwoState 90 64 7f 90 64 00
WidgetEnd

and like this

Widget Zoom
	PressRelease 90 64 7f 90 64 00
	FB_TwoState 90 64 7f 90 64 00
WidgetEnd

with the Zone:

Zone Buttons
	ChannelLeft TrackBank -1 
	ChannelRight TrackBank 1 
	BankLeft TrackBank -8 
	BankRight TrackBank 8 
	....
	Nudge ToggleScrollLink
        ...
	UnSolo Reaper 40340
	F1 Reaper 40917 /MonoStereo
	F2 Reaper 40029	/Undo
	F3+Undo Reaper 40030 /Redo
	F3 Shift
	Marker Reaper 40157
	F4 GoZone FXMenu 
	Cycle CycleTimeline
	Click Reaper 40364
	MasterFader MasterTrackVolume
	Zoom GoZone Zoom1 NoAction
	Up Reaper 40138
	Down Reaper 40139
	Left Reaper 40140
	Right Reaper 40141
ZoneEnd

Zone Zoom1 
	Up Reaper 40111
	Down Reaper 40112
	Left Reaper 1011
	Right Reaper 1012
ZoneEnd

Alternatively:

Zone Buttons
	......
	MasterFader MasterTrackVolume
	Up Reaper 40138
	Down Reaper 40139
	Left Reaper 40140
	Right Reaper 40141
	Zoom+Up Reaper 40111
	Zoom+Down Reaper 40112
	Zoom+Left Reaper 1011
	Zoom+Right Reaper 1012
ZoneEnd

Also the channel left/right and Banking still do not work.

Zone Channel
	TrackNavigator
	DisplayUpper TrackNameDisplay
	DisplayLower TrackPanDisplay
        ....
	Select TrackUniqueSelect
	Shift+Select TrackRangeSelect
	.....
ZoneEnd

Further Display and Meter are blank.

I wanted to do some testing with the Icon Platform Nano too, especially if the ScrollToggleLink works. See how that turns out.

Meanwhile thanks and ever grateful for any help!
Cordially,

[Freex]

It would be hand if they could be push on , push off, sticky or latching.
as opposed to "shift GoZone Shift" which would greatly reduce and complicate all zones,

I can't say i'v tried shift+key GoZone, I know i did a while back but I think it was before correcting the modifiers.

I think the FXParam need to have numbers after them, 0,1,2...
In accordance with the order they are display from the plugin.
It allows us scope, for when plugin developers are lazy and use gain, gain, gain, or freq, freq,

Nearly

You need to use the FX parameter index numbers instead of the names. Whilst these are not output in the file produced by CSI, they are easy to determine.

Here's ReaEQ:

VST: ReaEQ (Cockos)
Freq-Low Shelf
Gain-Low Shelf
Q-Low Shelf
Freq-Band 2
Gain-Band 2
Q-Band 2
Freq-Band 3
Gain-Band 3
Q-Band 3
Freq-High Shelf
Gain-High Shelf
Q-High Shelf
Bypass
Wet

The index numbers are:

VST: ReaEQ (Cockos)
0 Freq-Low Shelf
1 Gain-Low Shelf
2 Q-Low Shelf
3 Freq-Band 2
4 Gain-Band 2
5 Q-Band 2
6 Freq-Band 3
7 Gain-Band 3
8 Q-Band 3
9 Freq-High Shelf
10 Gain-High Shelf
11 Q-High Shelf
12 Bypass
13 Wet

You don't have any displays to worry about, just replace the parameter name with its corresponding index number:

InputGain FXParam 0

That's for surfaces that require a constant refresh.

By default CSI only sends out changes -- in order to keep traffic down.

Some surfaces require data every so often to "stay alive".

0.5 means refresh every 0.5 seconds at least -- more if data is changing.

With a button it's either a 1 (full volume) or a 0 (off).

New build is up.

Lots of config panel options to try

This change will, break your CSI.ini file

You can fix it up by using the CSI.ini in the build as an example.

No - It's in the ZoneFXFiles folder...

Is that right?

Here's the file just in case that helps... (added .txt to the end to attach)

[Mr. Green]

btw - when I have a floating fx open (or chain), the Channel zone is still active - is that right?

[Mr. Green]

Do I need to be enabling something on the FX to make them catch?

[Geoff Waddington]

Nope, when you set up your config you select a Zone folder for a Surface.

All Zones you want to load, Home, FX, whatever MUST be in that folder or a subfolder of that folder.
