GoZoneIndex and the correct Navigator. If one side can be removed ie. by making it always GoZone, then it becomes harder to mess up.

Agree 100%
Just couldn't think of a way to do it, until you caused a rethink -- thanks !
The architecture is set up exactly as you say -- any action not requiring an index ignores the index part -- the receiving side of the equation is already implemented.
It is now a matter of redesigning the Activate Zone section to ALWAYS send an index -- which is most often 0 (sender) and most often ignored (receiver), except in the case of Sends/FX.
So ParentZone will be dropped, and GoZone will always set and Index automatically.
Working on it...

As for the pure basics of getting up and running, have you read the Readme and CSi docs in the download ?
If so, what do you need in a quick start that's missing ?
Have you seen @MalcolmG's wiki or @poetnprophet's video ?

The reason is that some FX params change their index on the fly. The example that has been puzzling me is Wet. Reaper seems ot dynamically add this as a param on every plugin, but it's always the last param. So for ReaEQ, for example, if I have 2 bands defined, the RAW FX file will look like this:
Code:
VST: ReaEQ (Cockos)
Freq-Low Shelf
Gain-Low Shelf
Q-Low Shelf
Freq-Band 2
Gain-Band 2
Q-Band 2
Wet
But if I add another band, it'll move to be:
Code:
VST: ReaEQ (Cockos)
Freq-Low Shelf
Gain-Low Shelf
Q-Low Shelf
Freq-Band 2
Gain-Band 2
Q-Band 2
Freq-Band 3
Gain-Band 3
Q-Band 3
Wet
So trying to map a control to it with an index is tricky. If instead I could optionally do something like:
Code:
Rotary1 FXParamName "Wet" "Wet"
Then I wouldn't have to deal with the changing index.
Cheers
Malcolm

Yeah, except there are often duplicate parameter names -- Wet is often one of them -- so you would always find the one in the FX, not the Reaper one -- indexed parameters takes that out of the equation.
ReaEQ is an outlier for sure in this regard -- changing parameter list -- very special case - I've often thought a nice addition down the road would be a special Zone handler for ReaEQ specifically that takes it's dynamic nature into account.

I'm not in front of it right now, but looking at my CSI.INI it looks like it is (UseZoneLink, right?) https://github.com/malcolmgroves/rea...master/CSI.ini

Ah, ok. So I've just picked the tricky one to start with
What I'd really like is a Reaper action to do it, so I can change it at the FXMenu just like Bypass. However, haven't managed to find one yet.

Geoff Have you had a chance to see why I'm crashing over here?
What idiotic thing did I do, or not do?

@Freex, simple solution to the bypass/offline toggles not working in the FXMenu Zone on the C4.
Just put them in the C4 Home Zone. When the FX menu is called, they don't get overwritten so work fine, with the FXMenu below/above them.

ReaEQ is the only plugin (in the 200+ I've mapped) that behaves this way. Normal behaviour is to have all the bands present in the parameter list regardless of whether or not they're enabled on the screen. DMG Equilibrium and FabFilter both use this approach.

MixMonkey if you have a minute, could you run my C4zone on your system and see if it crashes out on opening learn mode.
The zone and fxzone for q3 are the only thing da I've been toying with. I have its either that or something to do with OSC

I uploaded it on the previous page. Geoff had said Emu would work on real since the extra buttons wouldn't do anything on it.
There's a new v2 of the emu with better control of the push and rotarys

I just tried to install the latest CSI build on my iMac and can't seem to get it to work at all. I create a page, and try to add a MIDI surface, but in the MIDI surface edit window, the "surface" and "zone folder" menus are blank and unresponsive. If I close the CSI edit window and reopen it, it comes up empty, as in the pages I created did not save. I had an older build of the CSI running with no issues on my windows PC, and it was great. What am I missing with the newer build/ Mac OS install?

Have you the CSI folder and it's contents in the correct place.
Not sure about Mac but on Windows the surfaces don't show up on opening config, only after clicking on page.
Also there's a page that comes preloaded, which is Geoffs setup, so if you're not seeing that I'd say you haven't it installed correctly

Ah! I figured it out, I put the whole "CSI alpha" folder into the reaper resources path. I had the move the "CSI" subfolder out to the resource path, now everything works as expected. I wonder if the instructions cold be reworded to specify the "CSI subfolder"? Then again, I dunno, I could be the only goofus that misinterpreted the instructions.
Also, I happened to noticed a weird behavior: when you rename a surface, the name shown in the "surfaces" field of the CSI window will not change until you click on the page name again. Not a big deal, but a bit confusing when trying to get set up for the first time.

Glad you got sorted,
I find it easier to delete those "preloaded" surfaces and just add new.

New build is up.
Fixed a couple of bugs in Learn Mode file write.
ParentZone is gone
Just use GoZone normally, it figures it out, at least hopefully, worked here in limited testing
