Zone Folder is the designated starting point for all of your .zon files, you should make a Folder of your own, then it will show up in the dropdown.

Inside that folder you are free to arrange any way you want, with subfolders, etc.

All folders will be searched and loaded.

You can think of the Zone Folder as the place where all of your .zon customizations are stored.

Just don't put any archived or unused ones in there, they will be picked up too

Also, you can split the .zon files up any way you want -- you can put just one Zone in a file --- great for FX -- you can put more than one Zone in a file -- great for consoles.

Try this approach and let me know what happens -- thanks for testing !!
Thanks very much, Sir!
Works now without problems.
And splitting the zone files may help with the testing.

Meanwhile I managed to put scrolling in (which is a major breakthrough for me, also very helpful is the Reaper action list on GitHub.)


However, presently I´m fighting with the Zoom function.

I put in the XT1.mst (from the MCU.mst):

Widget Zoom
Press 90 64 7f
FB_TwoState 90 64 7f 90 64 00
WidgetEnd

for the zoom button.

However, it doesn´t light up, when it is pushed.
(while the nudge button in same syntax is permanently lit).

So apart from that, how do I confer Zoom onto the arrow keys with the Zoom button?

I thought of

Zone Buttons
......
Zoom| GoZone Zoom1|
ZoneEnd

Zone Zoom1
.....
Reaper 40111
Reaper 40112
.....
Reaper 1011
Reaper 1012
......
ZoneEnd

But I couldn´t think of a way to implement keyarrow dependent In/Out Zoom action call-up.

For the Nano it would be interesting how to confer the Zoom in/out onto the JogWheel rotary.



There´s also the Pan issue,

the rotary mark is hanging to the left and not moving.

The XT1.mst contains:

Widget Rotary
Encoder b0 10 7f
FB_Encoder b0 10 7f
WidgetEnd

Widget RotaryPush
Press 90 20 7f
WidgetEnd

Zone file contains
Zone Channel|1-8
TrackNavigator
....
RotaryPush| GoZone PanWidth|
Rotary| TrackPan 0
.....
ZoneEnd

Zone Pan|1-8
TrackNavigator
Rotary| TrackPan 0
RotaryPush| GoZone PanWidth|
ZoneEnd

Zone PanWidth|1-8
TrackNavigator
Rotary| TrackPanWidth 1
RotaryPush| GoZone Pan|
ZoneEnd

...doesn´t work.

Well, lots of funcitons do not work yet, intersetingly the master fader does, however, e.g. the Channel switch and banking do not work either. Since so many functions do not work, so maybe I have general setup issue with the XT1.zon

Here´s the start of the XT1.zon (as copied from the MCU.zon)

Zone Home
OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackSendsToWidgets
IncludedZones
Buttons
Channel|1-8
IncludedZonesEnd
ZoneEnd

I guess, any function concerning tracks, like opening FXmenu, should be in the Channel zone?

Well, sorry for this plethora of questions, think the CSI virus got me.

As ever grateful for any help!
