How to create a PLE preset 'Toggle Show/Hide All Used Automation'?

How can I create a PLE preset to toggle “Show/Hide All Used Automation”?

Currently, I use “-” to show used automation (selected tracks),
“Option + -” to show all used automation,
and “Option + Shift + -” to hide all automation.

I also use “W (Folding: Toggle Selected Track)” to toggle the automation lane for individual tracks.

Is there a way to set this up, or does something like this already exist?

Hi,

There are dedicated Key Commands:

  • Show All Used Automation
  • Hide All Automation

Is this good enough for you? Or do you need a toggle (one command to show and hide)? A toggle is not possible.

Indeed it’s not. For such cases I always use MIDI.
Before CB12 and the arrival of the new MIDI Remote, I was using Bome MIDI Translator Pro, to handle a shortcut and then send to the DAW two different MIDI CC messages, one for each hit of the shortcut. Then I had these CCs in a generic MIDI Remote, properly executing the different commands.
Here’s for example a setup in BMT:

Now, from CB12 and on, we can now use a bit of scripting for this type of toggling actions. The less external utils we have to use, the better :slight_smile:

It would be very nice to have a toggle for it.

Thank you for your answer.

Thank you for your suggestion.

It is kinda complicate for me but I will try.

I totally understand this. However, once you get into it, you soon find more and more things you can do a bit externally. Worth the try if you ask me.
