    Hi - just enabled the Soundflow Avid Edition - but, unhelpfully I also seem to have a trial of the full-blown paid subscription, which obfuscates what I can and can't do with the Avid Edition.

    Is there any documentation for this specific edition, showing which packages and functionality is included and how to use it?

          Thanks Chris - I understand the differences at that level - what I'm looking for are some practical examples of usage of the Avid Edition

          1. The Avid Edition allows you to run the preset SoundFlow macros which are visible on the left side of the SF editor. Depending on how you configured your initial setup, you can assign your own keyboard shortcuts to the presets or use the pre-assigned keyboard triggers.

            The Avid Edition does not allow you to create or customize macros, which are made by combining different macro actions. Additionally, you won't have access to SoundFlow's scripting which is used for more complex automations.

            So to start with, browse the command in the SoundFlow > Pro Tools folder and try the commands there by either click "Run Preset" or (more conveniently) assign a keyboard command using the "+ New Trigger" button.

            1. ^ This.

              In addition to that, you can use MIDI and OSC triggers on the Avid Edition.
