Device control issues

Hi,

It seems that device control only works with the first track. When I select device on track 2, 3 ,4 etc, the blue hand does not appear, and I cannot control the parameters from my controller.

Thanks for checking this out.

As soon as I connect an other controller with a native ableton script, the "blue hand icon" appear on the devices from track 2, 3, 4 etc and therefor respond to my remotify script controller.
Perhaps this might help to find the bug.

Thanks

Also, it seems like I need to hold the "device chain number" button on my controller instead of just pushing it quickly as usual, otherwise it does not react.

Hi Philippe,

This is a strange issue that we've been aware of for a while but unable to find a working solution for (despite testing working code from other scripts).
To get around this, what I do is simply add the "ADVANCE" script as the first control surface in my list but not assign an input or output midi controller to it. This activates the "blue hand follows selected device" functionality for all remotify scripts.
Not ideal I know but it does the job ;)

--- "Also, it seems like I need to hold the "device chain number" button on my controller instead of just pushing it quickly as usual, otherwise it does not react."
This could be to do with the momentary option. After reading your post, I realised that the "is momentary" option had disappeared from the device select mapping.
Its back on now, I'd suggest changing "momentary" to "yes" in the mapping and seeing if this helps.

Thanks

John
