Macro stops when unable to perform an action

I have this macro (which opens and closes all plugins of a selected track).

Ideally this would be a key command, this is my workaround.

The problem is that this works fine if plugins are inserted in order (slot1, slot2, slot3, etc)

But being an old school Cubase user, I often insert my first plugin in slot 2 or 3. This disables the macro (if macro can’t open or close the slot1, it just stops).

Any work arounds?

Hi,

I’m afraid, there is no workaround.

With macros, indeed one would have to execute one by one externally and sequentially. Using MIDI Remote we can do it with no issues:

Can you try with PLE with following PRE/POST commands:
1. PLE Close/Open Part 1
Pre-Process Commands
-Mixer / Insert 01: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 02: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 03: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 04: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
Post-Process Commands
-Mixer / Insert 05: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 06: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 07: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 08: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel**
2. PLE Close/Open Part 2**
Pre-Process Commands
-Mixer / Insert 09: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 10: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 11: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 12: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
Post-Process Commands
-Mixer / Insert 13: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 14: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 15: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel
-Mixer / Insert 16: Open/Close Editor for Selected Track Channel

And assign that to Macro as PLE pt1 + PLE pt2?

For now I have given up on this and I will just opt + shift + click on “e”

All other options are way too hacky in my opinion.
