Go to Previous/Next Memory Location (ProTools)

    Hi everyone,

    Since ProTools' update, our script to jump to the previous or next memory location is no longer working. My team and I have been trying to figure out a new script to fix this.

    We tried having SF click on the markers track and jump forward/backward using the tab/option-tab key commands, but we don't want to loose our selection in doing so. Option+cmd+Z brings the playhead back to its OG position along with the old selection.

    Next, we had the idea to establish a variable = current memory location number, and basically say "variable +/- 1". We tried to borrow code from a few other forum posts, but nothing seems to work.

    Maybe it's best to use the memory locations window-- we haven't figured out how to get that to work, either.

    Any help is much appreciated!

      Hey @Joseph_Trapanese,

      Have you tried the SF built-in commands for this? Just tested and working on 2023.6.

      Go to Next Marker:

      sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsGotoDelta({ delta: 1 });

      Go to Previous Marker:

      sf.ui.proTools.memoryLocationsGotoDelta({ delta: -1 });

          Hi Raphael,

          We did try this. The error message says "Could not fetch memory locations from GUI". We are on version 5.4.2 and ProTools 2023.6. Not sure why it's not working. Any ideas as to why?

            Hi @Joe_Trapanese
            I missed this message reply. Let me test this on my system to see if I can reproduce the issue. :-)

                  Hi @Joe_Trapanese,

                  Unfortunately, I'm unable to recreate the issue here. Can I get you to follow a couple of troubleshooting steps?

                  Try quitting Pro Tools, and then quit SoundFlow from the SoundFlow Icon up by the clock. Then reopen Pro Tools and then SoundFlow from your applications folder.

                  If this does not resolve the issue then please log a bug via the Help Issue workflow. Click here to send us the information we need

                  Thanks in advance.

            Hi @Joseph_Trapanese,

            Also, be sure to update to the latest version of SoundFlow (Version 5.4.2) from my.soundflow.org/install.

            There were some major changes made to Markers in Pro Tools recently and the update should fix this issue.

            If you have done so already please let me know.

                Thanks Kitch,

                We are on the latest version of soundflow and on Protools 2023.6. When we try using the built in SF command, the error message reads "Could not fetch memory locations from GUI".

                  @Joe_Trapanese,

                  Are you using the inbuilt SoundFlow command for navigating to next/previous markers or are you using a custom script?

                  If you are using a custom script I'll need to see the script to know how you are fetching the memory locations. The best way to get help with a script is to use the Script Help workflow. Please see the following link for more information bit.ly/sfscripthelp

                  Feel free to tag me in the new Script Help thread.
                  Thanks in advance.
