Key commands for specific tracks

[heavypop]

I wish for customisable key commands to control specific parameter on specific plugin on specific track.

For example:

- Gain plugin mono switch on my end bus in my template to switch on and off

- Switch on and off eq bands on my end bus channel eq.

That would require to name the track number of the key command.

You could do this with a MIDI controller, or if you get Keyboard Maestro then you could assign it a key command.

Thanks for the tip David!

The thing is that I dont like midi controllers (besides piano keys) - actually havent found any good one. And 3:rd part software is something I tend to avoid.

So the best and cleanest option would be a Logic native one.

 

I'll have a look at Keyboard Maestro though...

Just think about it,

One wouldn't have to bring the monitor controller when on the go for example. I use the mono switch on the big knob a lot.

Maybe use Piano keys then?

Hi there, could you elaborate a bit further on your answer?

As mentioned by @polanoid, you could use your piano keyboard keys (on your MIDI controller) as ON/OFF switches in Smart Control. Smart control setup is then saved as part of a patch.

...or, if you dare to, use one or two Transformers in the MIDI Environment.

Oh, I see. That's a cool way of doing it.

I prefer to use the computer to do things, however. It's the same procedure whether at the studio, at home or on the go. Sometimes without a midi keyboard even.

So I must say, I would rather have an even more flexible key command setup. Hopefully Apple will provide this in a future Logic version 🙂

In my opinion/experience, chances are low that Apple will implement this in Logic, because a successful 3rd party app already does it. Still I do agree with you that a native Apple solution for scripting such commands would be great!
