Use Alfred 5 to trigger a macro without a keyboard shortcut

    I'm hoping to use Alfred to search for and launch specific SoundFlow macros. These are macros I'd use a couple times a week, so I'm trying to avoid eating up any keyboard shortcuts. Has anyone set this up successfully?

    Not sure if it's possible to send OSC or HID messages from Alfred, but those seem like promising options...

      You can search for and run SF macros and scripts while in any application by pressing ctrl-f12.
      I use this method to run Bounce Factory.


      If you're handy with Automator, you can create a workflow/application that runs a a terminal/shell script that launches a specific macro or script. ( You can search the forum for ways to do this). Then search for that automator task within Alfred.
