Hello,
There's a few things i am having trouble figuring out:
1. I would like to have 3 layers of clips assigned to the 16 buttons at the bottom. I have already created the Clips Layer 1, but i am unsure how to create additional clips layers for the same buttons.
2. I would like to assign a cue button for each track (listening in headphones)
3. I would like to assign knobs to a custom EQ preset (.adg file) within each track.
Thank you in advance for your help!

For 1, you could do what you want with 3 modes, one for each layer of 16 clips, and another knob or button to select between your mode layers. remotify.io has a video on YouTube about setting up switching between mode layers.
2. Cue volume and Solo volume are the same control in Live. But you could do what you want by configuring 2 separate Stereo Output channels from Live through your audio interface with one channel going to your headphones and the other channel to your main speakers, for example. Then when you want to audition material on a Track, switch its audio output setting in Live to your "headphones channel" briefly. Live only lets a Track's output destination setting change like that because of a mouse or gesture event happening "on screen" in the GUI, so AFAIK, that action can't be triggered from any control surface.
3. Not sure exactly what you are going for here, but suspect you are basically out of luck. It sounds like what you are talking about is something like remote controlling Live's "preset hot-swap" feature. Although the "hot-swap on/off" button itself is probably easily controllable, I believe there is a compelling reason why the Push2 is the only controller on the market that allows a user to "browse device presets" (to "browse" anything in Live's "Browser" from the controller). All that means is what you want to do can probably be done from "any" control surface, but it won't be easy (or another controller company would be competing in that Push2 space), and it will probably be "too advanced" of a script to completely finish in CSS v2.7. CSS seems to be pretty narrowly focused (but expanding) on implementing the scripting features that fall "easily" into the way CSS was imagined and designed, and that the most users would find the most useful. Doesn't mean you couldn't at least start your adventure using CSS, but I suspect you would need to go down to the Python and "custom enhance" from there, leaving your CSS version somewhat behind.
