Bypass MIDI FX from Smart Controls... [SOLVED]

Howdy all. This super frustrating thing is what has brought me here…

 

As you know, there is no native functionality for bypassing a MIDI FX insert from Smart Controls. But I'm thinking it could be achieved by creating a custom parameter in the script itself.

 

A checkbox, radio button, whatever - to essentially say "If this is checked, run this script. If not, ignore it and let the MIDI flow thru untouched."

 

I'm thinking even wrapping the entire function of a script in a IF statement based on the value of the toggle? If yes, do everything inside. If not, ignore.

 

Does this sound doable? I've tried to hack it together on my own for two days now, but since the coding hemisphere of my brain simply doesn't have a blood supply, I am here hoping for a nudge in the right direction.

 

Thanks for any assistance at all!

Actually, as of Logic 10.1:

 

The Power button in a MIDI plug-in window can now be mapped to a Smart Control

Thanks for the reply! I actually saw that in the 10.1.1 release notes, but I assumed it was a typo because I can't find it in any mapping menus. Any details on how to access it?

Just use the Learn button in the Smart Controls inspector.
