I’m a new dLive user, but I have quite a bit of experience with SQ, Avantis, and AHM. I’ve also spent a fair amount of time working in Custom Control Editor.

I’ve run into a snag with dLive, I can’t figure out how to use the **Selector**. On AHM, the widget gives a “Selector Type” option, but on dLive it only shows a box labeled “Source Selector” with a numeric value. I don’t see what that number is referring to on either dLive or Avantis.

I am hoping to use it as both a source selector and also I would like to create a selector for my end users to be able to select from a predetermined set of actions.

Thank you all!

I still have not figured out what the “dLive selector” in CC does. Does anyone have insight into this?

The Source Selector in CC controls one of 20 assignable Source Selectors in dLive (configured under MixRack/Audio/Source Selector) or Avantis. These have a similar function to the AHM Source Selector, but must be manually assigned to a Mix (AHM has selectors on every Zone). Typically used to select between different music playback sources, with optional level and fade in / fade out times. More information is available in the Firmware Reference Guide for dLive or Avantis. In Custom Control, you only need to specify the selector number (from 1 to 20).
