X Touch XML Scripting

[bassface]

Hi All

I have recently moved over from Cakewalk

and am so glad i did...

I have a Behringer X Touch Control Surface and

one thing (among many) i would like to learn is how to alter the MackieControlSurface XML .. I have found some YouTube clips and downloaded some already altered scripts

and by comparing them i have made some

crude adjustments to my own..

But i really need some help to understand

more fully how to make more meaningful alterations .

Thanks

There's plenty of examples located in the "devices" folder of the Studio One install you can look at.

Also, here's a complete walkthrough video (includes custom mapping) to check out...

Thanks for the reply
thats one of the videos i was refering to in my original posts..
and by examining the original examples in the folder you mentioned and the one i downloaded from that guys youtube video
i was able to make observations and crudely alter my own script...
but i want more than that...i want to understand the syntax so i can modify
my script to include more buttons on my x touch and also maybe creat some macros
Thanks again for responding

The Behringer BCF2000, BCR2000, FCB1010, UMX and Korg nanoKONTROL and nanoKONTROL 2 device files provide plenty of syntax examples (buttons, faders, encoders, transport, etc.) for everything you need.

Thanks for that....
but unfortunately my powers of observation are at their limit..
I need some clear examples....i.e on x touch How do i change
the fader bank button (x touch) to also change the page view in my studio one console (combine two commands)
(also a mentioned in that youtube clip)
Or how do i change the assignments of buttons on the x touch across the "global View" line
which in the mackie script are referred to as "radio control" and have different syntax to the
the other buttons (command control) ..
please feel free to treat my like a complete newbie ..coz i am

You could DL the Mackiecontrolsurface.xml that is linked in the above video comments and try it. Rename the current default from *.xml to *.OLD and back it up FIRST.
I'm not sure that there is a way (yet) to bank through the faders on the X-Touch AND horizontally page in the console view with one button in the xml script, I'm working on having a macro in S1 do it by assignment to a function button on the surface. If I have any luck, will report back.

Tthanks....
ive done all that and also been successful in assigning a few things myself...
but some of the buttons seem to have a different syntax as i have not been able
to re assign them....The F buttons we know are easy...
its the ones the macro called "radio buttons"
that are proving difficult.

How about using the coloured strips, can we use them like under logic, please ?
