User Remote Script Question: How to access faders 9-16?

Post by thelastbuffet » Sat Jan 22, 2011 11:45 pm

I've created a user remote script for a Studiologic VMK 161 controller, and everything works perfect for controlling tracks 1-8.

But I'd like to edit the remote script so I can control tracks 9-16 etc. specifically the volume faders on these tracks.

I'd like to just be able to change the global midi channel on my controller and then be able to jump to controlling 9-16.

Any ideas on how to do this in my user remote script? Is it possible to add Volume Sliders 9-16 into the script and then assign midi cc's and channels accordingly?



Thanks!!

I have tried it. It doesn't work. Unless I'm screwing up the formatting of the txt document or something. But I don't think you can add lines of text to the scripts.

Do you have any ideas or know of another way to do this?

You can't do it without writing some python. The user remote script only caters for eight faders. Check out the myralfur script for the nanokontrol and hanz petrov's script for the bcr (on his blog) for examples of what needs to be done. The task is easier if you use something like Wing Ide. An additional eight faders is relatively straightforward.

Ok thanks I'll look into the Python route.

Do you know where the "remote scripts" are located on a Mac?

I know where the "user" scripts are, but I can't seem to locate the other ones...

Hi

Just got a VMK 161 and didn't expect it not to work instantly with Live.
I'm not enough familiar with user remote scripts to know what has changed since Live 8, but I'm very aware that I don't get anything of it now.

Did you eventually get the VMK working in live as a control surface properly?
If so, could you share some references of how to get there?

Any help much appreciated!
