Default Shortcut/Action for select next fx plugin

By usung ctrl + B you can toggle selected fx bybass.
Even though you have to press two keys, it is nice.
It would even be nicer, if I could eg have 10 fx plugins in one track and then move from the first plugin to the last one just by clicking one key wirh a shortcut or by saving an action.
Is it possible? Could not find anything

Am I misunderstanding you?

Simply open the track FX chain window ... down arrow, up arrow scroll you thru FX in chain.

I tell you, why this feature would be good.
You could have eg 15 instances of rea samplomatic each with a different snare,
and just scroll down and select the next snare to hear and find out which snare you like best

Ah, do you mean you also want to set the state of the previous plug-in to bypass?

Ctrl B, Down arrow, Ctrl B will do that

No, I want 15 instances of reasamplomatic plugin each with a different snare sample starting to listen to the first and then listen to each of the 15 snares by just klicking one key on my pc keyboard or midi controller.
I see, there is no action for it.
You delect the first fx, then you would activate the action by pressing eg "a" and the first pluging would be deselected and you automatically go to the next automstically selected fx.

Unless I misunderstood totally, it seems to me that xpander gave you the answer.
Just assign keyboard shortcuts to the SWS actions.

Hey,

What kind of files have you sent and where do I have to put them (which folder?)

This way you just move to the next fx, but it is not selected/activated and the previous still remains activated.

@ J Reverb

I found out how to import your scripts, but your action simply deactivates all plugins of a track.

What I meant:
select next fx within a track, I mean deactivate the current and select and activate the next one.

That's pretty much what the scripts do.
Do you have plugins before and after the ones you are trying to audition ? Or do you just have 15 RS5K instances ?

So..

Select the track with 15 instances

Each time you run the script it will cycle through each instance in your fxchain and mute the others so you can audition them one by one.
This works here, make sure you have scripts installed to your scripts folder and then load them into the actions list and run from there with a shortcut.
It will only toggle on the next/previous instance bypassing the rest like a solo function.

Hi, J Reverb,
I tried the two scripts you posted earlier in this thread and they do work perfectly.
Thanks

It works, it works !!!
You are great, thank you so much.
The first time it did not work, cuz I had Samplomatic instances with 8 snares, 8 kickdrums and 12 high hats in one track and one snare, one kick and one hh was activated and your action jumps down to the last activated plugin.

@akademie
Cool I'm glad they work as expected...

@Naji
Great glad to see they work for you.
I can't believe how this wasn't already done.
Anyway I am using it now to audition and switch effects so thanks.
