I’d like to do a simple shortcut to toggle the A/B control on adptr metric ab.
How do I do this please? In keyboard commands adptr metric ab comes up and I have assigned a key but when I press the assigned key I am asked to perform a process.
Thanks for any help.

Following - Meric A|B is the best thing I’ve ever purchased.
As far as I know this is not possible with key commands.
Do you have any midi controller with a spare knob or button? You could assign that to a quick control assigned to the parameter.
Would it be possible if you used a macro program like Keyboard Maestro (on the mac)?
If Keyboard Maestro can send MIDI it should technically be possible.

I’m on Win 11 so I’ll have a look for alternatives to Keyboard Maestro.
I would have thought the Cubase macros would have had something useful?
Have a look at AutoHotKey (@mlib shared a nice MIDI Lib for it) and/or Bome MIDI Translator Pro. There are other apps as well.

I think Keyboard Maestro can click buttons on the metric A/B VST so it should be doable. I don’t think it would require any MIDI sending.
For those unaware of Metric A|B it’s a Plugin that you load on your control room bus to make it easy to A\B your mix with a reference track. Best thing I’ve ever purchased.

Hi, I created a really small app that sends a MIDI CC to a chosen (preferably virtual) MIDI device. It does that when you click a global keyboard hotkey combination.
In Cubase, I created a remote control surface listening on that virtual MIDI device and I mapped it to MetricAB’s big toggle button. It works nicely for me.
I’ve just published the project on GitHub. The binaries are not signed because I don’t have an Apple Developer account, and I didn’t test it for Windows or Linux but there are binaries for that too.
Here’s a link to the releases page: https://github.com/amireldor/midi-global-hotkey/releases.
I’d be happy to know if this works for anyone, I hope it can help.
