We're happy to announce that version 2.7 of Control Surface Studio is now available.
This update focuses on UI/workflow improvements mainly around the creation and usage of Controller Templates which should help to streamline and speed up the template building process for you all :)

Hello
Can we hide the controller mappings view while programing in the scripts sections?
Yes you can drag the column divider across the whole screen to the right, so you only see the script manager section.
Hi guys,
It would be really cool to be able to select all the knobs and faders on the controller page together without going trough them one by one.
Also I think that when you hold the Uppercase and select another button it should select all the knobs in between!

Mauro.
I'm brand new to Remotify, so apologies if this is in the wrong place, but when I click on any control (knob, button, slider) when trying to build a new template, it does not show up on the grid, nor does it show in a list below my template name. I've got to be doing something really stupidly wrong, but I can't figure out what it is. Any help is greatly appreciated.
New user here I think I have the same problem. In a video tutorial a new tempo mapping is added. Selecting a knob in the controller template 'auto' changed the 'Controller Input' field, this isn't happening for me. Another thing that is puzzling me, the CSS tutorial videos have a 3 column layout but I only ever have 2 ie when I click an add button the left pane is replaced by the list of options rather than a new middle column being created.
Hi,
We removed the panels which used to appear in the right column. This now opens over the left panel.
If you're still experiencing issues with inputs/templates not appearing, please feel free to get in touch via the contact page.
Thanks
Hi I'm new here. I would like to ask. Is there any way to be able to use the controller scripts that ableton comes with by default? I mean being able to import them and start editing parameters based on them. I find it very tedious to start a script from scratch, when it could save a lot of time going directly to the things I want to modify.
Gracias!
Hi I'm also new and having trouble using motorized faders which send pitch bend.
How can I use them?
Besides that it's a lot of fun using this software!
Dankeschön!
Is there a good reason for removing the floating panel over the left panel? This feels like a step backwards because we need more clicks to do the same thing. Having the panel pop up automatically on the right when I click on a mapping allows you to step through the mappings easily.
Also in the videos you can assign the knob for a mapping by clicking on the controller view, This doesn't; work for me and I have to manually select the knob from the popup list. Again this feels like a step backwards.
Hi, it looks like a lot of great functionality was added in this version. But I agree with slasi (above) about the panels. I’ve been using CSS 2.7 for a couple of weeks now and it feels like I’ve clicked the tiny close button for over a 1000 times. When I watch videos of the previous version this looks much quicker with the panels and in the end more fun.
That place is now taken by the Controller Templates view, which I so far haven't needed while setting up a script, an if so, it would be just a single click away via the sidebar.
Just as a feedback. In general I'm thankful that this software exists and so many great features become within reach for non-programmers like me.
Hi, I agree with the panel layout. I found an older version 2.6.3. Any disadvantages to use this version ? Regards, mj
Hi all, thanks for the feedback.
We're busy working on version 2.8, there will be an improved workflow with regards to these panels.
Thanks
This shouldn't have been an update. I'm having so much trouble making templates. When you add something it doesn't appear. A template disappeared out of nowhere.
Dragging and dropping don't work with new objects. This is a mess.
Stuff doesn't disappear from the list when you delete it. This is an alpha build.
Knobs and endless encoders get assigned exorbitant numbers for no reason when they're the only ones in the template. I could go on...
