[Dr. M's Hybrid Script Technique] or {How I Learned to Love and CombineClyphx and the Selected_Track_Control Script}

(Tools needed = More than one midi controller, CopperLan Midi Routing Software, Selected Track Control Script, and Clyphx Control Script.)

1. Select the same MIDI channel for Selected Track Control Script AND your Clyphx X-Controls. (Example = Ch. 9)
   A. Avoid conflicting cc's & notes between both scripts.
        (Clue) - 'Comment out' any unneeded STC functions to free up Control CC's and MIDI Notes (as needed)
2. CopperLan Midi routing Software (similar to Midi Yoke)
    A. Download and install CopperLan.
    B. Merge the selected MIDI Channel from EACH MIDI   CONTROLLER (MIDI Ch. 9) into ONE virtual midi cable. (Example = VMIDI 1)
3. Open preferences menu in Ableton, select MIDI tab.
     A. Click to enable REMOTE switch for VMIDI 1 INPUT.
4. -The Magic Moment-
     A. Select VMIDI 1 as the INPUT for Selected Track Control Script.
     B. Select VMIDI 1 as the INPUT for Clyphx Control Script. DONE.

Now one can use all their controllers (AS ONE CONTROLLER!) for STC Functions, STC Blue Hand Control, Global Controls, Clyphx X-Controls and X-Clips, Etc....

This routing scheme allows all the MIDI data output from all your MIDI controllers to be merged into one MIDI Data Stream or 'Virtual Midi Cable' and then directed to your control scripts. Thus allowing for ease of use by allowing the user to think of all their controllers as 'One Controller' and program them as such, and think of all their control scripts as 'One Script' and also program them as such. It's a stream of consciousness issue that allows for quicker more intuitive programming workflow.

Continuation of theory (homework)
1. Combine Clyphx controls and STC controls on one pad/slider on Quneo.
2. Use same midi channel page in AUTOMAP to control Clyphx and STC (Novation Controllers)
3. Add more controllers.
4. Invite your favorite User Remote Script to the party.
