    I admire people who try hard for us all😍 Thank you so much, Sir Freak!🙏 I am not yet the proud owner of this thing, but I plan to become one in the near future😁 Did I understand correctly that most of the buttons on the panel on the right have been reprogrammed? Comparing the original and your overlay, I see that some buttons were already there, but you swapped them. Or did I misunderstand? In any case, I think this will be a better option than the official one. Thank you again! Genius! ✨️

      Welcome! Actually, the original FL Studio script had all the buttons remapped, to better fit the workflow in FL Studio. I started from that script, so for now I left most of the buttons like that (I did change one or two, however). There is also a script by another developer, IgneButene, where the buttons are more like they are in Logic, should you prefer that. We sometimes look at each other's code, so she also applied some of the fixes that I did in my script to her script. But I don't think her script has support for multiple extenders.

    Amazing that you make this available to all of us!
    also, I've been very curious if its possible for channels to be grouped with commands from the x touch (subgroups). Do you think this is possible? and also being able to change audio inputs of a channel for external recording, and moving channels around in the mixer.

    • @SirFreak
      @SirFreak  ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you mean channels in the channel rack?
      Perhaps some of those things are possible, but I'd have to do some research first. In any case, I won't be working on the script until my upcoming EP/album is released, and that will still take a couple of months. After that I'd like to put some more work in the script, perhaps these are some things I can have a look at, then.

      @@sightlok FL Studio does not really have grouped mixer tracks, but you can route tracks to other tracks and put dividers between tracks, which can give you a similar look. Making macros can perhaps be possible, but I'd have to think about how that will work UX wise. Right now it is possible though to do the mixer routing using my script (using the send functionality).

    • @SirFreak
      @SirFreak  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey. As I don't have an X-Touch One, I haven't really done anything to support those. Does my script even work with that controller? I was under the impression that there was already a good functioning script for the X-Touch One, but now that I'm looking for it, I can't find it.
      Am I understanding correctly, that you would like to automatically bank to a specific track if it's being selected inside of FL Studio? I still plan on rewriting the banking system, and I guess that could be an option I could add specifically for X-Touch One users (I would need to add a setting somewhere though).
