This script also works with the non-floating movie window.

tell application "Logic Pro X"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Logic Pro X"
set tracks_window to title of first window whose title contains "- Tracks"
if (description of group 1 of window tracks_window = "Control Bar") then
set group_nr to 2
else
set group_nr to 1
end if
if (value of static text 1 of group 1 of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window is "Movie") then
set sub_group_nr to 2
else
set sub_group_nr to 1
end if
tell row 8 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of group sub_group_nr of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window
set x to (get value of slider 1)
set value of slider 1 to (x + 10)
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

In the attachment are my Keyboard Maestro macro's.

This script works correctly for me, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

What would the AppleScript be if I wanted to change the Fader Type in the Inspector window? I'm using BetterTouchTool to trigger the script.

Thanks!

Fader Type in the Inspector Window? I'm not sure what you mean?

My apologies for the typo. I meant the Fade Out Type in the Inspector window. There are 4 values: Out, X, EqP, and X S.

The below AppleScript was posted earlier to change the Region Gain (and works perfectly). Can this be modified to change the Fader Out Type?

Thanks for the help!

tell application "System Events"
tell process "Logic Pro X"
tell row 8 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of list 1 of group 2 of (first window whose name contains "- Tracks")
set x to (get value of slider 1)
set value of slider 1 to (x + 30)
end tell
end tell
end tell

@speakerfood - thanks a lot! Works like a charm.

You can use this script. Modify it to go to an exact type, by changing the keycode 125 to match the first letter of the type. If you only use this script, you also need a script to go up in the menu (key code 126 is arrow up.

BTW, this script is an improvement to previous scripts, because it also works when a movie is present or when Control Bar is not shown.

tell application "Logic Pro X"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Logic Pro X"
set tracks_window to title of first window whose title contains "- Tracks"
if (description of group 1 of window tracks_window = "Control Bar") then
set group_nr to 2
else
set group_nr to 1
end if
if (value of static text 1 of group 1 of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window is "Movie") then
set sub_group_nr to 2
else
set sub_group_nr to 1
end if
tell pop up button 1 of row 14 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of group sub_group_nr of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window
click
delay 0.2
key code 125
key code 36
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

speakerfood - thanks so much. Exactly what I was looking for and works perfectly!

Tue May 14, 2019 12:49 pm

Hi speakerfood! This is great work, thank you! How did you figure out the applescript "path"? The Script Editor dictionary isn't telling me much!

Thu May 16, 2019 11:48 pm

I use a GUI inspector but it's a lot of trial and error because of insufficient naming of GUI elements.

Hi guys..

So far I learned quite a lot from those scripts (thnx speakerfood & scripters..) ..with help of Accessibility Inspector.
I am trying to figure out how to use decimal values.
I can change values (gain - row 9) with 'increment' and 'decrement' actions, but it moves by 10 (or 1.0)
Moving by 1 (or 0.1) would be appropriate.

with this code, the value moves by 0.1, but I think there is a lot more lag:

tell row 9 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of group sub_group_nr of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window
set x to (get value of slider 1)
set value of slider 1 to (x + 1)

Maybe someone can help me with the solution for 'increment' and 'decrement' actions to move by 0.1?

the script:

tell application "Logic Pro X"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Logic Pro X"
set tracks_window to title of first window whose title contains "- Tracks"
if (description of group 1 of window tracks_window = "Control Bar") then
set group_nr to 2
else
set group_nr to 1
end if
if (value of static text 1 of group 1 of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window is "Movie") then
set sub_group_nr to 2
else
set sub_group_nr to 1
end if

tell slider 1 of row 9 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of group sub_group_nr of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window

-- increment
decrement

end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

BTW, I am using Keyboard Maestro.

Thnx,
Roger

I don't think you can change the increment or decrement value. I'm using the x+1 method, there's a tiny lag but absolutely workable.

Tue Jul 16, 2019 5:18 am

@speakerfood, thnx. I thought that.
I also noticed more lag with the second script, when the project is overloaded with plugins

I've upgraded to LPX 10.4.6 and the key commands no longer work. Do I need to update the scripts in BetterTouchTool?

Thanks!

WRT .1 gain adjustments...
If you click on the Gain field in the region inspector you can use the key commands "-" and "=" to change the gain down or up by .1 dB - If you want to change by 1 dB increments use shift-minus and shift-equal

In fields like ticks the changes are 1 and 10, etc.

This seems to work in lots of places where you would click on the value and use the mouse to raise/lower - basically "faders" .

thanks a lot for sharing this script! this is a great time saver!

just wanted to share that with my version of Logic Pro 10.4.6 and macOS 10.14.5, the correct row number for region gain is 9 and not 8, nor 6.
so here is the updated script that works for me:

tell application "Logic Pro X"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Logic Pro X"
set tracks_window to title of first window whose title contains "- Tracks"
if (description of group 1 of window tracks_window = "Control Bar") then
set group_nr to 2
else
set group_nr to 1

end if
tell row 9 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window
set x to (get value of slider 1)
set value of slider 1 to (x - 10)
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

Thanks so much for this updated script, my custom macro to change region gain is now working again!

Hello,

Here's the script I've been using written by speakerfood to change Region Fade Out Type using BetterTouchTool. But since I upgraded to LPX 10.4.6 it doesn't work. Might anyone know how to modify the script so it works again?

tell application "Logic Pro X 10.4.6"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Logic Pro X"
set tracks_window to title of first window whose title contains "- Tracks"
if (description of group 1 of window tracks_window = "Control Bar") then
set group_nr to 2
else
set group_nr to 1
end if
if (value of static text 1 of group 1 of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window is "Movie") then
set sub_group_nr to 2
else
set sub_group_nr to 1
end if
tell pop up button 1 of row 15 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of group sub_group_nr of list 1 of group group_nr of window tracks_window
click
delay 0.2
key code 125
key code 36
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

Thanks so much for any help!

I'm not on the newest version of Logic yet, but I suspect you have to change row 15 to 16.
