Anyway... I'm planning on buying one of those sets of 5 "Motor Fader MF100T" to have replacements handy in case some fail in the futre.

Funkybot · 08-04-2022, 12:28 PM

I spilled some tea all over my X-Touch One (I spill things a LOT - it's awful) and the fader was really misbehaving afterwards. Took it apart, sprayed everything with contact cleaner, put it back together, and it's back to being usable. The fader will still occasionally jump, but I just can't justify buying a 5 fader set when I only need one. So MT4U, if you do buy one of those sets...I'll take a fader of your hands for a good price!

I think something like this would be a great idea. The parameter feedback from a lot of plugins is a mess and even when an effort has been made to include 'descriptive' feedback, it often doesn't fit conveniently into the display.

Being able to translate what comes back from the plugin into something more readable/descriptive is really the last step toward not needing to see the plugin GUI at all

Yeah, in a perfect world where this is easy for Geoff to code, I think it would be great but practically limited to plugin parameters with a small number of steps. Obviously would be no good for something with continuous parameters. But those plugins that report "On" when Bypass is Enabled or like the TrackControl example, would absolutely benefit.

Strictly speaking, all parameters are "continuous". If CSI could deal with both what amounts to a simple alias, eg plugin returns "2", CSI translates it to "Right", as well as a raw VST value, so when the plugin returns "0.34" CSI translates it to "220Hz", we'd be covered

Since you two are obviously more familiar with what's possible and how CSI works, can I leave it with you to raise the FR with Geoff please?

We'll have a go

Geoff Waddington · 08-05-2022, 11:31 AM

New build is up.

CSI v2_0.zip

Brings version 2.0 up to current Exp level.

WaveTrans · 08-31-2022, 07:29 AM

Hi,

Sorry for bothering you.

I updated to the new build of CSI (08312022) by putting the new reaper_csurf_integrator64.dll into the user plugin folder of Reaper.

Now the automatic "CSI follows TCP" does not work anymore.
TrackBanking works.

Also, Reaper now loses connection with the surfaces frequently - the C command does not help when this happens. (I experienced this with the 08052022 build as well)

I looked through the Wiki but couldn´t find any synthax changes that may cause all this. Am I doing anything wrong? I didn´t change any of my so far working CSI 2.0 zone files.

Cheers, W

See the CSI Changelog pages for recent changes to the CSI, including how to get FollowTCP working (Note: it was previously hardwired to FollowMCP in 2.0 builds - this was a new feature):

https://github.com/GeoffAWaddington/.../CSI-Changelog

...my guess is TrackPans are also not working so pay attention to the changes about MCUTrackPan being removed and replaced with the new TrackAutoPan syntax and Toggle actions.

The only times I've ever heard of intermittent connection issues is when the surfaces used by CSI are not disalbed in Reaper's Preferences -> Audio -> MIDI Devices. Remember: CSI needs access to those MIDI devices so if Reaper is using them, you're going to have connectivity issues. They need to be disabled in Reaper.

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry again, to bother you with this.
I somehow mixed this up.

What I meant was: I expected CSI to follow Reapers Mixer (as is still the automatic function when I understand the Changelog correctly), I mean, if I click on a Track in the Mixer, the surfaces follow; this is not what happens since I pasted in the new build; now the surfaces stick to the first Bank regardless where I click on the Mixer (MCP).

Banking via buttons works, though.

I didn´t change anything apart from swapping the old against the new .dll file.

Here is my ini.file

Code:

 
Version 2.0

MidiSurface "Nano" 13 13 
MidiSurface "Xplus" 14 14 

Page "HomePage"
"Nano" 1 0 "IconNano_CSI2_0.mst" "IconNanoX" 
"Xplus" 8 1 "IconXplus_CSI2_0.mst" "IconXplus"

Funkybot kindly went through my 1.1 files to bring them into the modern age of v2. Still some issues and a lot of my dodgy programming, but, it does a lot and it does it well in v1.1, that aside -
V2
All my zone buttons were plain "goto" the zones, you need another one to take you out. This way I have holds and toggles written for each of them. "SEND" seems to already be a toggle into and out of the send zone, which kind of cocks things up for me.... is there a way i can stop it toggling and just be a plain "goto" the zone?

I also have a prob where the fader "reset" between every re-selection. One feature i use is "CTRL+Jogwheel" to select up and down tracks, the faders jump to go right down between each track selection. On my ol MCU that sounds like a skating rink
I remember Mixmonkey mentioning this a while back, but don't recall the resolve..
ps - is anyone doing much envelope editing with CSI?
Many thanks

Hey Undark, I've been thinking about the Send zone activation issue and have an idea. Maybe try making the Sends "SubZones". This wouldn't have worked until a few days ago anyway, and is NOT the intended design for Sends, but may restore the old behavior. Give it a shot. It would work like this...

First, remove "SelectedTrackSend" from the AssociatedZones in the Home zone.

Next, add something like this to your Track zone...

Code:

Zone "Track"
    SubZones
         "SelectedTrackSend"
    SubZonesEnd

    Somebutton     GoSubZone "SelectedTrackSend"
ZoneEnd

Then you'd have...

Code:

Zone "SelectedTrackSend"
     DisplayUpper|               TrackSendNameDisplay
     DisplayLower|               TrackSendPrePostDisplay
     Fader|Touch+DisplayLower|   TrackSendVolumeDisplay
     RotaryPush|                 TrackSendPrePost
     Mute|                       TrackSendMute
     Rotary|                     TrackSendPan
     Fader|                      TrackSendVolume
     Left                        SelectedTrackSendBank -1
     Right                       SelectedTrackSendBank 1

     SomeButton                  LeaveSubZone
ZoneEnd

Note: that is NOT the intended design and may not work for CSI 2.0. But there's a chance it may restore the old behavior by not being an AssociatedZone.

Also, I see you're doing this...

Code:

            Control+JogWheelRotaryCW       TrackBank "1"
            Control+JogWheelRotaryCW       Reaper _XENAKIOS_SELNEXTTRACK

What happens if you replace that with this...

Code:

            Control+JogWheelRotaryCW       TrackBank 1
            Control+JogWheelRotaryCW       SelectedTrackBank 1

...does that fix the fader issue?

Firstly - thanks, yes this fixed the fader issue and now also keeps the MCP and TCP linked, which it didn't before. It seems to bank over 8 then swap rather than each one, as it did previously - not so many roller skates

I can't get this happening sadly - just to check - i put this in my track zone:

Are you using the X-Touch zones from the support files?

You should see a line in the track.zon like this...

That looks right, but I didn't have a high degree of confidence this would work so not surprised at all. Sends are a special kind of zone with a "navigator" behind the scenes and they probably require to be activated "the proper way".

Can you explain what specifically the issue is with toggles and the send zones? You're using an MCU Pro right? Does that mean there are no toggle lights on the send button like on the X-Touch and you're somehow working around that? How? And what's the behavior you'd like to see from the surface in CSI 2.0? There were some fundamental changes to zone handling in 2.0 and this may be a limitation, or there may be some workaround that will allow you to do what you want. But don't "fight" the send zone activation method - we just tried that and it didn't work at all.

I'm glad we got the one issue fixed though!

Now that Geoff has an X-Touch Universal, I'd strongly encourage everyone with an X-Touch to keep a close eye on the CSI Support files to make sure they're not missing any cool new X-Touch functionality or best practices. In the last few weeks there's been all kinds of color related stuff happening with the X-Touch that you wouldn't want to miss out on.

indeed! posted this in other topic, but there's so much going on there i think it mighta got overlooked:

are there any uploaded fx zone map files for the xtouch? i.e. reaper eq?

Not that I'm aware of, but have you kept up with the new "EZFXZone" syntax? It really would only take a few minutes to make a map using it. Automapping of FX is in the future of CSI too.

Lastly, the Reaper FX and JSFX do not always map well to controllers so, you be warned!

Thanks, Geoff, for pointing implemented the broadcast of banking actions.

And sorry to bother you all again, but banking still does not work for me when I use broadcast (works fine with buttons assigned on local surface).

I have a Nano and an Xplus extender

I assigned to both homezones

Code:

 
Zone “Home”
OnInitialization Broadcast Home ToggleEnableFocusedFXMapping SelectedTrack SelectedTrackFXMenu TrackFXMenu SelectedTrackSend TrackSend SelectedTrackReceive TrackReceive 

OnInitialization Receive Home ToggleEnableFocusedFXMapping SelectedTrack SelectedTrackFXMenu TrackFXMenu SelectedTrackSend TrackSend SelectedTrackReceive TrackReceive
….
ZoneEnd

And assigned buttons to banking action on the Nano button.zone

Code:

 
…..
	Flip  				GoTrackSend 
	Flip				Reaper 	"40293"  	// Send I/O Menu
	Read 				GoTrackReceive
	Read 				Reaper 	"40293"  	// Send I/O Menu
	Write 				GoTrackFXmenu
	Trim       			CycleTrackAutoMode 
	Shift+Trim			TrackAutoMode 3         // Write
	GlobalView 			GoSelectedTrackSend
        GlobalView			Reaper 	"40293"  	 // Send I/O Menu
	Touch 				GoSelectedTrackReceive
	Touch				Reaper 	"40293"  	// Send I/O Menu
	Latch 				GoSelectedTrackFXMenu
        LatchPrev			SelectedTrackSendBank 8
        LatchPrev			SelectedTrackReceiveBank 8
        Shift+LatchPrev 		SelectedTrackSendBank -8
	Shift+LatchPrev  		SelectedTrackReceiveBank -8

But no banking occurs

With the locally assigned buttons (on the XT), banking works fine.

Any suggestions, please?

But no banking occurs

With the locally assigned buttons (on the XT), banking works fine.

Any suggestions, please?

Had a quick look at the code, looks in order, will investigate.

Hey all
Im just upgrading to all the new changes that have been happening in the past while.I havnt really read through any recent posts so maybe this has come up or its just something i did. ill try to explain

If i have more tracks in reaper then i have tracks on my surfaces all seems ok but when i have less tracks in reaper then i have on my surfaces then all banking ceases to work. i cant even click on a track in reaper to bring it into view.
is anyone having anything like this happen ?

Thanks for any help as always !!

This just an edit to my previous post. Dont know if i explained right. I read a few posts back and saw to put UseScrollLink in the .ini so i did that and still have same issue.

Si i have MCU and 2 XTs. 24 tracks. if i have under 24 tracks in the project track view does not work. even though all tracks fit on surface they still dont all fit on screen so if i select say track 19 which is out of view on screen it doesnt scroll to it. it seems to work correctly if i have more then 24 tracks.

Im sure its me but cant seem to figure out whats whats on this. thanks again.

sorry for keep asking. I think i should know this stuff by now lol

Hey all!

I want to get a fresh start with my Platform M+ and CSI v2.0. I toyed around with things a lot in the last version and think I overcomplicated it.

I'm also really slammed with work, so want to get things connected and then begin to tinker slowly. Is there a recommended set of surface & zone files for my unit?

Actually, I'd wait for CSI v2.1, it's days away.

Thanks for testing !

Most folks don't have a 24 channel surface, likely why it's not been reported, will investigate.

Hi!

I've been using a X-Touch One with CSI2 earlier but is
now switching over to a X-Touch(9 faders). My X-Touch
has firmware 1.14 and on Behringer web site there is
a version 1.22. Is there any need to update to 1.22
when using X-Touch with CSI? Will something be better
or worse with it?

Regards
Thomas

It's not clear when the ability to color the scribble strips via sysex was added to the X-Touch Universal. But we do know it works on the 1.21 and 1.22 firmware. My advice: update the firmware this way you're running the same version that Geoff and other CSI X-Touch users are. Will be helpful if there is any unexpected behavior.

Thanks Funkybot, will do!

Ok, I have upgraded X-Touch firmware to 1.22.

Downloaded CSI 2 from Stash (from Geoffs link), both support files and software.
I deleted my old setup and installed again. Before I get into the dirt and
start customize I thought I should check out the things in the support files
and found some things that didn´t work out of the box. I start with the Marker.

When in GlobalView and clicking on Marker to activate Marker zone and then
pushing Down or Up nothing happens - the Marker button is not lighting and no
marker is added or deleted.

I fire up ReaConsole to see that the buttons is sending and they do:

IN <- X-Touch Marker 1.000000
IN <- X-Touch 90 54 7f
IN <- X-Touch Marker 0.000000
IN <- X-Touch 90 54 00
IN <- X-Touch Down 1.000000
IN <- X-Touch 90 61 7f
IN <- X-Touch Down 0.000000
IN <- X-Touch 90 61 00

....what am I missing?

Thomas

Looks like the buttons.zon in the support file can't keep up with the pace of changes. Try the latest "CSI EXP" build and replace the buttons.zon with this text.

Code:

Should note: there's nothing in the above to shut down the button lights on the Navigation section. If you want that. You can replace that section with this...
