Hi, I would like to know if CSS is capable for triggering automatically the parameters of selected device. Giving you an example.
Mapping device parameters for compressor and EQ8. When I select the compressor I would like the script to send the parameter into the Midi Fighter twister, and when I select EQ8 then to sending me the Parameters for the EQ8, Basically, I would like to do this that this video shows.

How can I do this? with the reaction?

Hi, thats what css is for. Do the tutorials and you find the way.
Its very easy:
Define buttons to select device (for example eq in device 1) and map the Parameter controls to the selected track.
Hi, if I understand your question correct that's possible with "Device Parameter" mapping for a selected Device in a selected Track. This also gives you LED feedback to the MFT. Regards, mj
Ups, sorry trololololol...didn't see your post ;-)
No worries, your answer is better anyway.
Guys thanks for the answers but I did it as you show me, but with this method I have to setup different knobs for each device. For instance, knob 1 t0 4 for compressor, and for EQ knobs from 5 to 16. What I need is when select the device, the CSS to realize it and in the same knobs to change the parameters. Example:
I select compressor: I can control the Parameters for Compressor from knobs 1-4
I select EQ: I can control control the parameters for EQ from knobs 1-16
Ask me for any questions? sorry for my english!
*What I need is when I select the device, the CSS to realize that I select the compressor or EQ and enable the knobs for the device I selected
Hi,
We understand you and youre almost there.
What you do ist:
Selected track
Selected device
And map the Parameter 1-6.
This way the controls are mapped to the selected device
Ok thanks I will do it
Ok, But If I want for the compressor the knob 1 to be the threshold (parameter 1) and for the EQ the knob 1 to be the Frequency A (parameter 6), what I have to do?
U map the Parameter in ableton to macros and map css to the macros. Then its consistent the same. I do that witj all Devices.
Ok but Could you do it without Macros?
The problem is that parameter in ableton are all over the place.
You can do a reaction that sets your midifighter in different modes depending on the selected device.
Ok I understand. It sounds complicated. Thanks for your replies, I appreciate it. I'll do it with macros. Thanks again.
Reaction:
Listener: selected device on selected track
Action Block 1:
Condition: if device Name is dyn8
Custom Action:
Set Mode to 1
Return
Action Block 2:
Condition: if device Name is compressor
Custom Action:
Set Mode 2
Return
........
That would be the rough idea, i dont have a Laptop here to show you.
Please check the tutorials, modes are shown there as well as actions.
Thanks For that. I will try it.
trololololol I tried with modes and reactions but it was completely failure. something I miss
Pls show your reaction as screenshots so i can guide you.
Ok When I get home, I will share a notion page with all the screenshots and it will be public for future use.
I shoot a video explaining all the actions I did. In the Reactions, I don't know what to select. I have it in a notion page so you could write anything you want or attach video or screenshots.
This is the link for Notion.

Ok..im sorry to bother you, but this is useless. If i have the time i make you the reactions. Until then pls watch the tutorials and try around.
Hi antoniskoll,
The videos on https://www.youtube.com/@remotify/videos helped me out so much when I started with CSS. In your case, the videos hereunder are best suited to tackle your specific problem:
Watch those and then:
Hereunder you can find a starting point for your needs.
Thanks for this. My problem was I could not find how to make a reaction to change the mode.
