Shortcut to open plugins

Post by feelthetrip » Wed Mar 10, 2010 3:45 pm

Hi,

Is there a way to assign a keyboard shortcut to open a determinate plugin?

I use Slicex from ImageLine to slice loops and load samples on it, it's fur more versatile than the 'slice to midi' feature because you got full control of the pieces.
Is a little frustrated when listening samples on the browser and want to open one of them, have to load first the plugin and then load the sample on it.

Obviously, I could open first the plug and then search the samples, but much times I only explore the browser listening and then I decide what to do, so I can't simply know what my flow is going to do. :wink:

So assigning a shortcut to open it would be faster. Just browse the samples, find the sample I want, press the shortcut and drag the sample :)

Thanks!

no man as far as i know there isnt , but i wish there was.

my idea is , that you had a little button at the top orf each track , when pressed the plug in(d) would come up , you could have many of these samll buttons.

Thanks for the reply!

Perhaps I could have a track with the plug and duplicate it whenever I want...

or the only solution maybe to change my workflow... :?

When you open a plugin in a set Live remembers it was open after you close it with the keystroke command Ctrl+Alt+P. In this way you can toggle the plugin view with the keystroke command.

It's such a shame that Live doesn't store this info with a song.

How come this still isn't a thing yet. Should be accessible via liva API as well.
