Thanks a lot, this is the perfect answer to my first question

On the other hand, if the message should go the other way (selecting an "unknown" snapshot from an external controller), that would cause trouble. In that case I think I would either write down the revised set list on paper instead of editing the Conductor, or edit the Conductor and use CCs connected to the next/prev buttons.

The difficulty is not sending PCs or CCs, but sending the one corresponding to the right song.
Now I'm beginning to feel a bit stupid... If Usine is recalling everything OK no matter where in the Conductor, why not a PC or CC as well? They don't have to be associated with the number in the Conductor list at all.Statistics: Posted by bsork — 26 Oct 2008, 10:25

But it doesn't work with my external hardware because I can't rely on the preset number. The only way to clearly identify a song (and not its position in the conductor) seems to be the song name itself, with the difficulties I've explainded above

But nonetheless, I agree that you have clever workaround! Which makes me think that a kind of "generic" string manipulation script (or set of scripts) could be something to consider. Hm...

I would move presets around in the conductor the same way, if I could count on at least some of them being in the same spots, regardless.
You've been extremely clever about finding a workaround though!

I thought there was a simple way to link Usine's behaviours to the name of my presets (and not its position in the conductor preset list)
To be concrete:
I have a song called "Barbara Allen" that corresponds to PC #55 on my guitar multi-effect, and I need this song to be linked to PC #55, no matter its position in the conductor list (I change the conductor order to match the set on stage, sometimes just before the show). So I decide to put a "a" at the begining of the song name to identify it, then transform this letter into a number with the get array, then map it to 55 with the mapper.
The trouble is the conductor preset number is included in the name output. That makes:
"1: a Barbara Allen" (when the songis on preset 1)
"10: a Barbara Allen" (when the song is on preset 10)
On the second case, the letter is not on the 4th position, but the 5th.
So I've found a solution : using 2 getArray on 4th and 5th position, then adding the result, and then withdrawing the number corresponding to the space (32).
It works fine but I was just wondering if there was a simpler way to achieve this

I mean if I change the order of the presets inside the conductor, the numbers don't match anymore... I've thought about getting the array value of a letter at a fixed position inside the preset names (for example the 30th caracter), but as the preset number is included in the preset name, the lengh changes between the one and two number presets.
I've then imagined getting two array values, that should work, but before going further perhaps do you have a simpler way to achieve this?
Thanks!
