Can scripts made with CSS work at same time as manufacturer's scripts?

CSS Questions

Hi,

I've got a Novation launchkey mini and a Korg nanoKontrol2 that both have fairly good Midi Remote Scripts that work with Live 11. Unfortunately neither offer the red box around the currently controlled scenes/tracks.

I'd like to know if I can use a couple of CSS scripts to add the red box functionality for each controller, and keep each controller's main script also active in Live. Essentially having 2 active control surface entries for each physical control surface.

I too tried using modifying decompiled python scripts (100s of attempts to get them to run)!!!

I also tried creating scripts from scratch to do it myself but I couldn't get them to work at the same time as the controller's main Script. Only the first in the list (for each physical control surface) would actually function.

Thanks in advance,
Phil

Well I went ahead and purchased :o)

As I feared I've found I can't use the MackieControl script with the nanoKontrol2 at the same time as my css Redbox script. The left/right button presses still select the prev/next group of 8 tracks, but the css session box doesn't move. Doesn't seem to make any difference what order I put them, the MackieControl script dominates.

So it's not possible to have 2 scripts running at the same time for the same control surface? At least it seems that way with the MackieControl script.

To have identical functionality as before + red box, I'll need to model the all sliders, pots and buttons and put them in my new script?

I suppose it shouldn't take too long and would be a good exercise :)

Thanks
Phil
