Default Open Aux Track Fx From Track Sends

Opening the aux plugins or Fx Chain from the track sends very powerful time saver feature that somehow is missing in Reaper.

How would Reaper differentiate between tracks that are just sends and tracks that you use as an FX when using routing?

In one of your tracks if it has sends like to another track that you use as aux for reverb, if you double click that send it will open up or float the plugin or plugins that is on that aux track you don't have to scroll towards that track to open it's fx. Another time saver.. Check studio one they implemented this so long ago..

So you'd have one click open the routing window and a double-click open the send or received track(s) (because there could be multiple) plugins? Seems kinda clumsy, IMHO.



I think in S1 this is easier since it differentiates between aux tracks and normal tracks while inside Reaper a track is a track is a track.



Or it could just be that I'm missing something since my time with S1 has been very limited...

Well it could just open the fx chain for the receiving track, or optionally always float the first fx (but kinda redundant imo)

To the OP: if you right click the send in mcp, there's a "Go to send destination track". Not the same but at least you don't have to scroll manually

There's : Script: me2beats_Show selected track receives fx windows.lua



And here's "my" (ChatGPT written code - tested myself and it's working) mod that also floats all the FX's (needs SWS).



Code:
function nothing() end

sel_t_cnt = reaper.CountSelectedTracks(0)
if sel_t_cnt > 0 then
    t = reaper.GetSelectedTrack(0, 0) -- Assume we are only working with the first selected track
    t_send_cnt = reaper.GetTrackNumSends(t, -1) -- Count of receives for the selected track
    
    if t_send_cnt > 0 then
        script_title = "Show selected track receives fx window"
        reaper.Undo_BeginBlock()
        
        for x = 0, t_send_cnt-1 do
            -- Get x receive of sel track
            t_send = reaper.BR_GetMediaTrackSendInfo_Track(t, -1, x, 0)
            
            -- Check if the receive track exists
            if t_send then
                -- Iterate through all FX on the receive track and float them
                fx_count = reaper.TrackFX_GetCount(t_send)
                for fx = 0, fx_count-1 do
                    reaper.TrackFX_Show(t_send, fx, 3) -- 3 to float the FX window
                end
            end
        end
        
        reaper.Undo_EndBlock(script_title, -1)
    else
        reaper.defer(nothing)
    end
else
    reaper.defer(nothing)
end

This will open ALL the fx of ALL the send destinations. The OP is talking about this (impossible to make) custom action:
  • Go to send destination track (from default send right click menu context )
  • Show FX chain

And this cannot be made. That "Go to send destination track" is action 40564, which does not appear in action list and does not work outside that right click context, not even via Main_OnCommand

Yeah, I get that. Unless the script is more like an FX selector - and at that point it's really not "just a click away"...
