      Hi @Joao_p_Mendonca

      Thanks for reaching out!

      The script that you're currently using relies on keyboard and mouse simulation, which is the least reliable way of controlling an application with SoundFlow.

      Are you able to provide in point form the steps that you would take for the workflow you're trying to achieve? That way, maybe I can create a script that is a little more robust. Better still, if you're able to provide a screen recording of the workflow you'd like to achieve, that would be super helpful.

          it was all working perfectly 2 days ago... I did a whole deck of macros for my channel strip instruments, which is not covered in the Logic packed..
          I have a gazillion channel strip instruments... you would have to write it all, and I don't want to ask you for it, but maybe one: let me try...

              my channel strip instruments are here:
              user>music>audio music apps>Channel strip settings>Instrument
              I have a

                  From logic window you can see it here:
                  Library>User channel strip settings

                  What I wanted to do with the macro was open a new software instrument track, open library and select my instruments I used mouse click for it, have no Idea how to do else except after the initial mouse click in user ch str settings press successions of arrows left or down to hit it.

                    Hi @Joao_p_Mendonca

                    Thanks for that info. There is a similar thread about this at the following link, but I've not reviewed the code in quite some time.

                    When I have some time next week, I'll take another look. :-)
                    Please bump me in this thread next week so it stays on my radar.

                Thanks kitch I'm not a script guy, tried to use Chat got for changing the pan button to stereo pan and it didn't work...
                But guess what? I made a macro with mouse click and it is WOrKING!!! there's something wrong with mouse click in the library UI ... I have a work around:
                every time you create a software track FROM the focus on an audio track as soon as it is created you press arrow down and the user channel strip settings are highlighted, from there I'm doing a sucession of arrows down and right, it takes more time but it works...
