How to make Pro Tools ARA Melodyne Screen a window Trigger??
Is there a way to use opening the docked ARA Melodyne window in pro tools as a window trigger in sound flow. I want to have it trigger a few things but mainly a deck on my stream deck with Melodyne shortcuts etc. I also have a 15 button mouse and would like those buttons to become Melodyne shortcuts (tools, algorithm change, etc.) only when ARA Melodyne is open.
I appreciate any insight in to this!

Hi @Tyler_Page, @Nerol, and @Reinhard_Gross,
In Pro Tools 2024.6, these ARA windows can "Detach" from the edit window.
For this scenario, a Window trigger can be set up whenever a window with the title "Melodyne" is focused in Pro Tools.
You could also set a keyboard shortcut in Pro Tools to open Melodyne in this detached window:
One limitation here is that the ARA windows in Pro Tools are not "accessible" windows like the rest of the UI. This means individual buttons are not clickable within the ARA Melodyne window. However, if you have key commands enabled for Melodyne, you could use "Press Keys" macro actions to perform these from a Stream Deck, etc.
I'd be cautious that you probably also want a separate deck loaded whenever you click back to the "Edit" window in Pro Tools to avoid using the "Press Keys" actions on the rest of your Pro Tools sessions.
