Macro to Select Next Arranger Event, then Alt-P loop it?

[Psongs]

I’m setting up my new Midi Remote Mapping while working in Arranger tracks.

I want to setup a macro that will:

Go to the next Arranger Event (this I can do already)

Select and Loop that event. (Currently only way I know if is mouse-clicking the arranger event and hitting Alt-P, but I want this to be done in a key command so I can use it in a macro).

Any help greatly appreciated, something like this will be an incredible workflow feature for me when I’m not sitting directly in front of the computer.

Hi,

@Psongs

Go to the next Arranger Event (this I can do already)

How do you do this, please?

@Psongs

Select

The selection is very often problematic. You can use arrows (Navigate Left/Right) to select the events, but it’s not safe, because you don’t know the starting point. Or you can enable the Auto Select Events under Cursor options in the Preferences.

@Psongs

Loop that event.

Transport > Locators to Selection command.

That’s easy if you switch off Arranger mode. Just use Navigate Left / Right and then Transport / Loop Selection.

But I suspect that you may want to do this on the fly during playback with Arranger mode active and no interruption in the playback. In this case, consider using Arranger / Trigger Arranger Event 1 - 20. The advantage of this is you get infinite loop playback on the triggered event and playback of a newly triggered event waits until the repeat of the current event is complete (in other words you stay in time).
