Thank you very much for your hard work. Just to clarify as I know nothing about scripting. Should the light gray text in your script be removed?
Ex )
Those are comments - you can leave them there as // means they are ignored

I had the track name displaying in the text widget. But now I’m getting this error
I tried to command prompt npm install xmlj2s again but that didn’t fix the issue. Now I’m lost again
So I managed to get it working based on a modified script posted over at VI control.
Just wondering if it’s possible to set a command to hide the empty articulation buttons but keep the used articulations in the same position?
Hi All,
is it possible to help me.
I have set up everything like in the tutorial. i have 32 Buttons and have changed the number in the custom modul.
I have only 1 expression map in my folder to test out if everything is working but i get an error message and no articulations are showing on the buttons.

Thank you very much for your help
The function addExpMapLabel(mapName) defintion is missing from the script. That's why the error is happening.
The original post is missing this function which is why the error is thrown. I found the original function from this post.
//Adds Lable to the Expression label widget /ExpMap/label
//called from function labelMap
function addExpMapLabel(mapName) {
receiveOsc({
address: Object.values(expMapLabel), //this populates the labels on the buttons based on the array
args: [
{ type: 's', value: mapName }
]
})
return
}

Hi DMD, thank you a lot, but were in the script must it be?
i get now an error:
(ERROR) A JavaScript error occurred in the main process:
UnhandledPromiseRejection: This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). The promise rejected with the reason "ReferenceError: expMapLabel is not defined".
Thank you for your help
You can add the function to the end of the script you provided.
You can also try adding a tryCatch at line 302 I believe, addExpMapLabel(mapName)
You can replace that line with this.
try {
addExpMapLabel(mapName)
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
That might help get to the bottom of the error, and the least, let the app still run without throwing a halting error.
Cheers,
DMDComposer
Thanks for spotting this. I've been away from OSC for a while as have been busy but will see if I can amend the script and also put a simple sample set of files up so that people can get up and running quickly

Ok now i have worked out the Custome Modul with the expression maps and so on but i have a other
problem now:
I have hanging Channel Names on my OSC Device. It is sending the sysex data and shows the data
correct on the first characters but then ther is hanging stuff on the end of the Text. Can some one tell my why and how can i get it fixed because on the end is my [Indicator]
Can you log to the console exactly what is being sent to OSC in the sysex each time from the MCU? MCU only sends the characters it needs to replace.
ok unfortunately I can not understand the problem. The text widget is labeled correctly and no other midi channel sparks into the MCU to OSC channel. Does anyone have the same problem or a solution to what it may be? I have no error in the console.And when i reload the custom module the first selection in cubase is displayed correctly and then the rest stays at the end of the next selection.

i just noticed that with a midi track it works directly but an instrument track or audio track, it saves the last characters and then it doesn't work anymore to show the right trackname. This is the screenshot from the console:
So when MCU sends midi track names it also (if there is space) sends the characters (MIDI) at the end. It doesn’t send these with instrument or audio tracks - there could be a curiosity there.
As a workaround I have a single dummy track with random letters in the name which I occasionally select to send a full set of characters to the interface to clear whatever is there before. That might help?
Ok i will check that tomorrow and give you the answer if that works. But is there no other workaround like:
If the track has no midi in it don't erase the last characters or something in the custom Modul.
Because it's a bit useless when I select an instrument track and after an audio track and then the name on osc is crap.
Thank you for your help 
Hi Sub3OneDay,
i have checked all and it works with a dummy midi track with random characters in it.
But is there a opportunity to hide the brackets and the trackmaptag on the fullTrackName?
Try to delete this part of the code and see if it works. I also noticed if you have midi and instrument tracks it can become a little scrambled.
Hi Mike,
thank you for your help but that didnt work. The Indication in the Brackets [CSSS] for example shows
up in the tracknames on the OSC device.
