So I have universal RX working great on my VSN1, the state of the control AND the LED update when changes are made from the DAW (Ableton side).
However, the LCD does not update, it still shows the last state updated via the VSN1.
Is there something I need to do to get this also reacting to DAW changes?
(A side note, Intech controller plays verry nicely with Clyphx Pro and bindings, so if a change a controls binding using Clyphx, the state updates on the controller).
0xdb · Are you using universal RX with the provided blue hand script? If that's the case, the only thing that it handles are changes to the 16 auto mapped parameters. You'll need to either use a custom remote script or Clyphx Pro (I assume, no experience here) to send the data you need to the controller + add code to react to it. I have a simple working example that sends track color on Ableton and updates LEDs based on it you can look at to get a better idea.
Pottz · To be honest I am not really sure what I am doing. The lack of clear documentation means I continually feel like I'm just stumbling around in the dark with this controller (but still think it's a great piece of kit....just struggling to work out how it works).
I am using the universal RX config, but am not sure about the "with the provided blue hand script". All I did was drag the Universal RX snippet into the code block space for the Element 14 System - Setup (No idea if this is the right thing to do...again, no documentation for me to understand how to do this...just going on some advice someone posted on Discord).
But having done that, I have midi feedback from the DAW occurring for ALL and ANY mappings I set-up. Eg. Map the encoder to Pan (using Clyphx), and if I move the Pan setting in Live, it updates on the device, including reset to Centre. If I remap it to Volume on another track (using Clyphx bindings), it instantly updates to the Volume setting on that track on the VSN1 controller....but only the LEDs and the stored value NOT THE LCD SCREEN.
So I am not sure what the limitation is you mention regarding "the only thing that it handles are changes to the 16 auto mapped parameters"....I can get it to handle any parameter...which is great.
The only thing it does not do is reflect that change on the LCD screen.... so thanks for the note about what you have done with Track Colour and LEDs, but I don't want to touch that piece (it's working), it's just the LCD Screen Rx that is not working.
0xdb · I'm not saying you should use the track color functionality, I'm saying you could look at how that works to implement what you need, you can prolly feed into an AI. AFAIK, Clyphx Pro is a proprietary midddleware that makes it easy to call the same Python API used by the script I mentioned. Clyphx and RX don't know about VSN1 display, it's only the CC values and LED intensity that are updated by it, IIRC. You can do what Clyphx would do behind the curtains, talk straight to that API and add some Lua code on the module side to sync the display.
0xdb · I'd do it myself and share it if I had a VSN1, all the work I've done is for my EN16 + BU16. Maybe next Black Friday 🤑
Pottz · Thanks - but I'm trying to avoid that rabbit hole...I'm a scarily bad developer and besides, I'm meant to be making music not programming my controllers....I'm hoping someone else has had this need and solved it.
