Send Zones

Two types of Send zones

There are two types of Send Zones in CSI:

  • SelectedTrackSend
  • TrackSend

SelectedTrackSend is best used when you have a surface with multiple channels and you want to map out the sends on the selected track, across those various channels. Example: you have an 8 channel MCU type device. If you have more than 8 sends on the selected track, you would use the SelectedTrackSendBank action to bank to the additional sends.

TrackSend is best used when you have a multiple channel surface, but you only want to see sends for the channel that corresponds to that specific channel. Example: you have an 8 channel MCU type device. Using the TrackSend will show you Send Slot #1 for channels 1-8. If you want to see the send loaded in Send Slot #2, you will use TrackSendBank action to navigate to the next slot, at which point, you'll be looking at Send Slot #2 for channels 1-8. You setup the number of tracks in the CSI device preferences.

Send Mapping and Unmapping Actions

Depending on the type of send zone you are creating, you will need to create a CSI action to map the sends.

SelectedTrackSend uses the CSI action GoSelectedTrackSend for mapping.

TrackSend uses the CSI action GoTrackSend for mapping.

Unmapping is a simple as triggering the action a second time or using the GoHome action (which is more of a brute force approach).

Activating a Send Zone

You can activate the send map one of three ways. First, you can assign the mapping action above to a button like this...

Zone "Buttons"
      Send     GoSelectedTrackSend
ZoneEnd

Or, if you can dedicate a portion of your surface to sends and always want them to appear as part of your Home zone, you can simply add the send zone to the IncludedZones like this...

Zone Home
     IncludedZones
          "Buttons"
          "Channel"
          "SelectedTrackSend"
     IncludedZonesEnd
ZoneEnd

SelectedTrackSend Zone Example

Note: SelectedTrackSend zones are a special type of zone so your send zone must be named "SelectedTrackSend" (exactly).

Here's an example of a typical MCU send zone.

Zone "SelectedTrackSend"
        DisplayUpper|               TrackSendNameDisplay
        DisplayLower|               TrackSendPanDisplay
        Control+DisplayLower|       TrackSendPrePostDisplay
        Control+RotaryPush|         TrackSendPrePost
        Fader|Touch+DisplayLower|   TrackSendVolumeDisplay
        Mute|                       TrackSendMute
        Rotary|                     TrackSendPan        
        Fader|                      TrackSendVolume
        Left                        SelectedTrackSendBank -8
        Right                       SelectedTrackSendBank 8
ZoneEnd

TrackSend Zone Example

Note: TrackSend zones are a special type of zone so your send zone must be named "TrackSend" (exactly).

Here's an example of a typical TrackSend zone.

Zone "TrackSend"
        DisplayUpper|               TrackNameDisplay
        DisplayLower|               TrackSendNameDisplay
        FaderTouch+DisplayLower|    TrackSendVolumeDisplay
        Shift+DisplayLower|         TrackSendPrePostDisplay
        Shift+RotaryPush|           TrackSendPrePost
        Mute|                       TrackSendMute
        Rotary|                     TrackSendPan
        Fader|                      TrackSendVolume
        Up                          TrackSendBank -1
        Down                        TrackSendBank 1
ZoneEnd

Send Actions

The available send zone actions are shown below.

  • [[TrackSendNameDisplay|Send-Zones#TrackSendNameDisplay]]
  • [[TrackSendVolume|Send-Zones#tracksendvolume-tracksendvolumedisplay]]
  • [[TrackSendVolumeDisplay|Send-Zones##tracksendvolume-tracksendvolumedisplay]]
  • [[TrackSendPan|Send-Zones#tracksendpan-tracksendpandisplay]]
  • [[TrackSendPanDisplay|Send-Zones#tracksendpan-tracksendpandisplay]]
  • [[TrackSendPrePost|Send-Zones#tracksendprepost-tracksendprepostdisplay]]
  • [[TrackSendPrePostDisplay|Send-Zones#tracksendprepost-tracksendprepostdisplay]]
  • [[TrackSendMute|Send-Zones#tracksendmute]]
  • [[TrackSendStereoMonoToggle|Send-Zones#tracksendstereomonotoggle]]
  • [[TrackSendInvertPolarity|Send-Zones#tracksendinvertpolarity]]

TrackSendNameDisplay

Use the TrackSendNameDisplay action in a "TrackSend" or "SelectedTrackSend" zone to display the name of the send.

Zone "TrackSend"
	DisplayLower| 		    TrackSendNameDisplay
ZoneEnd

TrackSendVolume, TrackSendVolumeDisplay

Use the TrackSendVolume action in a "TrackSend" or "SelectedTrackSend" zone to control the Send level. TrackSendVolumeDisplay can be used in a display widget to show the volume level.

Zone "TrackSend"
    	Fader|Touch+DisplayLower|   TrackSendVolumeDisplay
    	Fader|                      TrackSendVolume
ZoneEnd

TrackSendPan, TrackSendPanDisplay

Use the TrackSendPan action in a "TrackSend" or "SelectedTrackSend" zone to control the Send panning. TrackSendPanDisplay can be used in a display widget to show the pan position.

Zone "TrackSend"

    	Rotary|                     TrackSendPan
ZoneEnd

TrackSendPrePost, TrackSendPrePostDisplay

Use the TrackSendPrePost action in a "TrackSend" or "SelectedTrackSend" zone to cycle through whether the send is 1) Post-Fader (Post-Pan), 2) Pre-Fader (Post-FX), or 3) Pre-FX. TrackSendPrePostDisplay can be used in a display widget to show the current value.
