Insert/Show FX on Selected Tracks

[D Rocks]

Hey guys,

This is an awesome script template by Spk77 which I adapted to my specific need.
It will insert the FX on the selected track if it doesnt already exist or open/show it if it does.

Now I'd like to expand the feature to be able to apply this to all Selected Tracks at once.

Can someone please help me I don't know enough to figure it out alone.

Thanks in advance

local FX_name = {"FabFilter Pro-Q 2"}--Change plugin FX name between "" to load your desired FX

function
InsertShow_FX_name()
  local selectedtrack = reaper.GetSelectedTrack2(0, 0, true)
  for status_fx_on=1, #FX_name do
    local fx_loop = reaper.TrackFX_AddByName(selectedtrack, FX_name[status_fx_on], false, 1)
    reaper.TrackFX_SetOpen(selectedtrack, fx_loop, not reaper.TrackFX_GetOpen(selectedtrack, fx_loop))
  end
end

InsertShow_FX_name()--end of function

local effects = {
  "FabFilter Pro-Q 2",
}

for i=0, reaper.CountSelectedTracks(0)-1 do
  local track = reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0, i)

  for _, effect in ipairs(effects) do
    local index = reaper.TrackFX_AddByName(track, effect, false, 1)
    reaper.TrackFX_SetOpen(track, index, not reaper.TrackFX_GetOpen(track, index))
  end
end

Wow. 15 minutes later and it works perfect. Thanks so much! Donated for a beer

EDIT: wow again, I just realised that the comma after "pro-q 2" actually allows you to pair multiple FX!! Thats very handy man. Genious

You're welcome, and thank you!

(The original script already supported adding multiple effects)

Oh so its an array I suppose? Thanks to that left over comma which made me understand with the help of how you carefully named your values "effect, effects, i and ipairs"
