My hunch is that it's a network issue.
The refresh control surfaces action in Reaper sometimes fixes whatever weird behavior I see. Or clicking a track with your mouse outside of the first bank of tracks will send track names again.
But like I said I'm talking about OSC. Your issue may have some parallels. I'm hopeful you can figure it out.
Sometimes its helpful in OSC to monitor the traffic coming in and out. I don't know if you can do that with your setup, though. One thing for sure you can do is CSI monitor output to surfaces to see if CSI is actually sending out the right info.

Could Geoff confirm this? I kind of assumed the CSI EuCon stuff would be made to work with the app considering the app is central to Avid's hardware controllers now?

Yeah, the EuCon support was substandard in CSI and will now be moved to its own standalone install https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....95#post2467095

Hi all!
Does anyone share your settings for MIDI keyboard and * .zon files for some FX?
I can't make my akai mpk61 correctly work, the slider events show in the console, but the FX parameters are not working. I just want to see how to do it.
Thanks in advance!

Post your .mst and .zon files and some kind soul will look thru see where things are tripping you up.
Just use [ code ] without the spaces, paste in your info, and close it with [ /code ] again without the spaces.
So it will look like

Have you assigned the MPK ports correctly, using one for MIDI input and the other for CSI?

Hi Guys !
It's been a long time since I last used CSI, it looks like this little gem has been growing a lot lately, congrats and thank you for that fantastic work
I've got a question for you if you don't mind : is it possible to use CSI with an Ableton Push 2 controller ? I can't find any information about that so I guess the answer is no, but who knows ^^
I'm aware of the DrivenByMoss tool, but I would like to be able to configure every pad / button / etc. as I wish so CSI could be a blessing for me.
Thank you for your time, have a nice day !

I take it the faders (sliders) are not motorised?
Guys is there something about latch behaviour or anything like that, otherwise moving between FX would cause settings to jump as so a fader was touched.
What exactly are you seeing if you open the show input dialogue window (control+Alt+1) in reaper?

Did you ever try out the older, non-CSI Eucon beta?
https://stash.reaper.fm/v/37947/reaper_csurf_EuCon.zip
From what I recall it works just fine, but just makes adding or deleting a track in Reaper a bit slow. But if you're not doing that on the fly and can live with it, it may be just what you need.
Certainly worth a try.

The best bet would be either CSI v1.0 or the old EuCon beta for now, neither of which is a great solution.
However, things do tend to move quickly around here, so that wait might be less than you imagine
[edit] Haha @Funkybot -- crosspost

I'm thinking that maybe rather than having your FX dir set as FXZone folder you maybe need to make a Akai folder with a home.zon before you can have an FX.zon
I've not tried this with a midi keyboard so it's just best guess stuff.

Can you give me your CSI folder? So that I could see what files and where they should be located.

So here is the folder for my C4
It doesn't control anything other than FX,
But it's maybe the most simple to understand.
4 rows of 8 rotary encoders, each with a push button function.
CSI>Zones>C4

Novation Remote SL support?
Hi Geoff and all !
I was comtemplating to buy a control surface to get the most of CSI,
However, I quickly found out that the best controller, is one I already have,
in terms of control, display and footprint on my desk: The Novation Remote SL (MK1)
I know Funkybot has one, and I've seen a few discussions about it on the thread. I also saw no one pointing to the MIDI REFERENCE MANUAL (not the user manual), where it seems to contain more details about the MIDI implementation.
You can find it here: https://forum.renoise.com/uploads/sh...spMHaXxl2t.pdf
I hope this can help supporting the old, but still useful Novation Remote SL for Reaper...
Cheers!

Jep, it is a cool controller, more then 100 rgb buttons, 64 of which are touch sensitive with after-touch, 9 touch sensitive encoders, and that beautiful color screen.
It would need new designed widgets for the 64 grid, and some thinking about how to tame that color screen, probably in 4 rows over 8 channels.
So no, there is no support yet for the Push2, nice idea though,,

OMG! You may have just discovered the Rosetta stone!
It really would be great to get these things working. I mean, they work at the moment, but we never had the information to make the dipslays work, which is kind of the whole point.
Many thanks!

Really nice find!
At the suggestion of another forum user who managed to get the documentation but didn't feel comfortable sharing, I reached out to Novation support and after much back and forth the people I was speaking with ultimately couldn't point me to this document. I had been trying for weeks with them along with scouring the web myself. I'm glad you dug this up.
Let's all beg Geoff to review and see if he can implement the screens!

Geez, just when the EuCon users were about to get some much deserved love, this comes up
Seriously, I did download the doc, will have a look.

Once you've had a chance to assess the difficulty and amount of effort supporting the NovationSL eco system will entail, why don't you solicit for donations for it with a post on the main control surfaces board? or better still, set up a Patreon account and try and get a revenue stream for the whole of CSI going.

Hi, I also have a question, I think I read some where that this is possible.
I got some things set up like this with a PushEncoder.
DisplayUpperA1 FXParameterNameDisplay 8 "FX1"
DisplayLowerA1 ParameterValueDisplay 8
RotaryPushA1 FXParam 8 [ 0.0 1.0 ]
This works very well, the Lower Display neatly switches between 1 and 0.
But is it also possible to get a Display to say On ore Of ?

Not currently, CSI just displays what is returned by the plugin. If that is text, then text is displayed. If it's a messy, long number or some other rubbish, you get that too
Conversations have been had about 'aliasing' the value field in a similiar manner to the name field, but it's an idea that's still circling the airport

Well, I didn't say "Let's all beg Geoff to do it before Eucon." You know...eventually. CSI v1.2.
Honestly, I only use the RemoteZero in the rare instances I go into Studio One. Even if the displays did work in Reaper, it still likely wouldn't be enough to get me to use it with Reaper over the Twister+iPad setup (because well, the iPad is currently sitting where the RemoteZero used to be and space is limited). Being purely selfish here, the Artist Mix coming back into the fold is way more important to me.

I don't think it's coming back to the CSI fold. I think Geoff might have been referring to his Reaper/Eucon implementation and improvement thereof.

Yep. I was being unclear. I meant the "back into the Funkybot-fold" not the CSI-fold.
I've got a portable install running the latest CSI where I'm just not using Eucon at all. I'd use the old beta except for the performance hit. So once Eucon comes back, I can start using CSI v1.1. and then also [separately] Eucon.
Right now, I go back to CSI v1.0 when I need the Artist Mix.

Ah, I dig
The whole SL thing is exciting because of the sheer number of those devices out there, all of them abandoned by Novation (at least as far as AutoMap goes, which was never that great to begin with).
Also, they are one of the very few controller types that actually have displays. Which, as we all know, is huge deal when it comes to control surface mapping. They also have multiple MIDI ports, which should allow separation of the keyboard, wheels and pads from the CSI controls.

I totally get the appeal of getting in CSI and was trying months ago to see if I could help track down this document. It's shocking to me that damn near 20 years after I bought this thing, there's still hardly been another product on the market like it. That little RemoteZeroSL (Mk1 with 2 sets of displays) was ahead of it's time. But AutoMap was very much of it's time. Bad combo. But basically the same thing that NI did with Komplete Kontrol. My hope is widespread adoption of MIDI 2.0 will happen and devices will be able to share parameter names and values without the hoops.

I own both zero mk1 and 2, but stopped using them, but I prefer 2 over 1 cause the whole front of mk1 gives no, ore wrong information (except for the extra screen), the mk2 extra helps you with the led-rings and led-buttons, but I do suspect that it will make many others users happy to use any one with CSI.
For CSI 1.3 the Push2 would be a much more ambitious plan,,
https://www.magneticmag.com/2016/03/...-specs-push-2/
https://github.com/Ableton/push-inte...yInterface.asc
But even as a non programmer this looks quite the undertaking,,
Personally I would prefer something more humble, like tempting all you guys with tea at my place in Amsterdam, only to find out that this tea is outrageously tasty and lasts 2 weeks, so you guys can design widgets for every cell in my body, flouting seemingly weightless in a holographic field in a dropping airplane, so I can activate zones neurologically!

Absolutely,
Those devices were (as it's been said) before their time, but Automap being the mess that it is...
Still unique devices, with a form factor that still hasn't been filled by other products after all these years . (how many good quality full size 37keys is there on the market right now? or what about affordable devices with displays?)
LETSSS DOOO THIS GUYS !!! (I'm saying this... I realize I can't do much !
If you need someone to test or anything, I'm down for it!
@Geoff: Do you have/need one of these units to test? I think I've seen one locally that I could buy and ship to you. (you're in Canada IIRC right?)
Cheers!

As it turns out, in most cases, radio buttons do not need a script.
You simply click on the x argument and for the scale you put 0 to whatever your step size is.
So a three step radio button you set the scale to 0 to 0.5
Couldn't tell you why that works but here we are.
There are some plugins that dont do clean math for the steps as we have found out, so those would still require some scripting. But for now, using the simple osc message method, we have two way communication radio buttons in OSC

I gave my SL61 away a few years back(too large).
A whole bunch of the SL Zero MKII are available second hand in my area. Such a device might make a good addition to my setup. Around 90-110 Euros here. Not bad at all.

CSI
I use CSI with Behringer X-Touch and it seems that new CSI now working with Zone files before version 1.0. What do I need to change in Zone files to make it work?
Also It seems that CSI now comes without Zone files. Where can I find it to use as a reference?
