toggle ALL automation

[kepeb]

hi there,
I hope I don't offend by missing some forum convention.
have searched extensively here, and elsewhere online and i cannot find what I am looking for.

recently got a midi controller (nano kontrol 1) and have been setting it up how i like in reaper. I was able to find out how to do all this with the posts here on the forum but need a specific command and cant find it.

my question is: how do i get an action - 'Toggle ALL Automation between touch and Read' ?

there are some actions that are close like 'SET automation read' or 'toggle single track'

does this make sense?

or ... toggle all automation on all tracks from ON to OFF?

[kepeb]

yes, that would do fine.

toggle latch/read OR OFF would be better for this controller and in general.

the only actions i see available are toggle ALL BYPASS which is not much use or toggle single TRACK between touch/trim.

You should be able to set this up using the sws Cycle Action Editor. Then assign the Cycle Action to a Keyboard Shortcut or a toolbar button.

Here is one that switches between two toolbars:

thanks so much darkstar.
I looked into that and after a few minutes have created a cycle

now, a similar action with my solo and mute buttons depressed it works fine with my nano... if i go through the 'scenes' the lights go off, but this is ok because when you get back to that scene you must press that button twice and the light re-aligns with the actual onscreen solo/mute status.

at the moment, if i switch scenes with automation active then switch back my toggle light is reversed to what is happening in reaper with automation
can you tell me how do i get my new cycle command to do this too?

[DarkStar]

I don't know the nanoPad, but somehow the Cycle Action and the controller are getting out-of-sync.

Does the scene change send / reset any messages?

[kepeb]

i don't believe so.
not to worry. its functioning OK, i'll just watch out for the lights
cheers man!
