Key Command Banks

So many commands/scripts, not so many keys

Key Command Banks would allow users to create variations of their keyboard command layout and change between them as the Banks of “sub-presets” themselves could be assigned to key binds.

For Example, I could have all of my Key Command Banks EXACTLY the same except for the NumPad which would change to different commands depending on which Bank is selected.

The standard NumPad has 16 buttons. ‘ctrl, alt’, and ‘shift’ in their multiple combos multiply that by 8.
16x8=128.

128x10= 1280

Further example:
NumPad could become a bit of a portal for their PLE/Macro commands, or different work tasks. Banks could be named “Tracking Session”, “Editing”, “MIDI Recording”, “MIDI Editing”, etc, etc.

mockup

user macro library would have to be at the top level, above the banks. ie switching Banks shouldn’t alter remove/add what macros are available.

Further graphical representation of this utility:

taken from

Feature Request: 10 Key command Banks per Key Command Preset (Presets within Presets, key bindable)

Hi, going through my key commands and doing some tidying, I thought… damn, so many great key commands, but not so many keys. Simple solution. Create a new protocol called Key Command Banks which would essentially allow users to create variations of their keyboard command layout and toggle between them as the Banks of “sub-presets” themselves could be assigned to key binds. For Example, I could have all of my Key Command Banks EXACTLY the same except for the NumPad which would change to differ…

As stated, this would be useful for creating a Key Command matrix for PLE/Macro scripts

Key Command / Function Request

Select Tracks of Selected Events
Selects the tracks of which have events

I came across an instance of needing a function like this when writing an AutoHotKey -> Cubase Macro script.

I think this could actually be very useful in other more basic PLE / Macro scenarios (ones that don’t require AutoHotkey)

Basically the only way to emulate this, is by enabling preference ‘Track Selection Follows Event Selection’ - but, because this is a toggle preference, it is not very dependable in scripts, and secondly, leaving that preference on sometimes clashes with other preferences and scripts.

The other option, is

PLE Filter Target: 'Has Data Selected'

This would allow PLE to select tracks only with data that is selected

*edit*

WHOPS, threads so long I forgot I already requested this lol

Key Command/Function Refresh Track Selection The protocol with PLE ignores preference 'Track Selection Follows Event Selection" which is all in all, probably a good thing - but in certain situations, I would want a PLE part of a macro with this new function command “Refresh Track Selection (Based on selected events)”. For example, if I wanted to select all Audio Tracks with ‘Parts’ on them, this would enable that: Media Type Is | Equal | Audio | And Container Type | Equal | Part | Fun…

Target Operation

Connect Selected To:

Protocol for connecting Tracks to FX and Group Channels.

For example:

MediaTypeIs | Equal | Audio
Container Type | Equal | Track
Property | Is Set | Event is Selected

---

Track Operation | Connect Unused Send | Param 1 | Param 2

Param options:
Name -> Param2: __________ (entry)
Name Contains -> Param2: __________ (entry)
Track # -> Param2: > Param2: __________ (entry) (or Track # list?)
Plugin-Name -> Param2: Plugin List

– Could list all Sends in operation ontop of ‘Unused Send’ ie

Unused Send
Send 1
Send 2
Send 3
Send 4
Send 5
Send 6
Send 7
Send 8

–

Same idea could be used for changing track direct outputs ‘Connect Direct Output’ | Name Contains, etc

edit

The above could potentially be accomplished a different way, ie

You select an FX track and then the script targets tracks to be connected to it.

MediaTypeIs | Equal | Audio
Container Type | Equal | Track
Name | Contains | Voc

Track Operation | Connect To Selected | Unused Send | -6db

---

and another way, more similar to first

Whichever way, this could allow for some very quick, streamlined, routing. Especially for people who have detailed templates with FX tracks already created and named. Users in many instances, would never have to open up their sends routing, as this type of PLE preset could be hotkeyed, even macro combined with other track selection based PLEs.

Proper 'Tab' through protocol/functionality

Upon opening PLE Window, hitting tab once, only cues the header description space. It goes no further - doesn’t enter into the actual script portion.

If this could be done, a scripting program like AutoHotkey could be used to tab to the, for example, name replacement fields
