Logic Pro - add/replace plugins on selected track

Hi Jon.

Due to the way Logic lays out UI, it's slightly complicated - but the following script works here in my testing.
Note it may need substantial more work to work for all cases.

function getInstrumentSelectorListButton() {
    var inspector = sf.ui.app('com.apple.logic10').mainWindow.groups.whoseDescription.is('Inspector').first;
    if (!inspector.exists) throw 'Could not find Inspector';

    var mixer = inspector.children.whoseRole.is("AXList").first.groups.allItems.filter(grp => grp.children.whoseRole.is("AXLayoutArea").whoseDescription.is('Mixer').exists)[0].children.whoseRole.is("AXLayoutArea").whoseDescription.is('Mixer').first;
    if (!mixer.exists) throw 'Could not find Mixer';

    var selectedTrackChannelStrip = mixer.children.whoseRole.is("AXLayoutItem").first;
    if (!selectedTrackChannelStrip.exists) throw 'Could not find selected channel strip';

    var instrumentSelectorGroup = selectedTrackChannelStrip.groups.allItems.filter(g => {
        var gDesc = g.getString("AXDescription");
        if (gDesc.match(/^(automation|Bus \d?)$/)) return false;
        var neededChildren = ['bypass', 'open', 'list'];
        if (!neededChildren.every(n => g.children.whoseDescription.is(n).exists)) return false;
        return true;
    })[0];
    if (!instrumentSelectorGroup) throw 'Could not find instrument selector';

    var listButton = instrumentSelectorGroup.children.whoseDescription.is('list').first;
    return listButton;
}

getInstrumentSelectorListButton().popupMenuSelect({
    menuPath: ['Vintage Clav', 'Stereo']
});

Hey guys, im on 10.7 logic. Ive been using “open pop up menu and select item” on inspector slots (far left) then typing out the path in the menu path field. Logic 10.4-10.5 load plugs differently. I had luck with programming eq , trim, autotune on slot 1 always. Then from there with a plugin only loaded on slot 1. Program the other plugs to come after. Tell each one to go to the second half shown slot and the rest will load one after another. Auxes, channels, stereo out need there own macro to load on inspector. 10.7 will load one after another when programming each one.

Remove plugin the same with same command but wait for small red box to shows up on the right of plugin. Then tell it No Plug-in. Let me know if that helps at all.

Hi @Jon_Newell, @Ryan_Hayes @Tyler_Falcone.

I just thought I'd give you a heads up in case you were not aware, recently we added an Official Logic Pro package to SoundFlow that includes, Plugin, Instrument, MIDI FX, and Send loaders + much more. The package is available in the SoundFlow Store and requires Logic Pro 10.8 and above, and SoundFlow 5.7.0.

If you're interested, we'll be holding a webinar tomorrow Thursday 14th March at 11 am PST. If you are interested, be sure to register at the following link:

I hope you can attend.
