Selecting Specific Plugin Presets Using Keyboard Shortcut

Selecting Specific Plugin Presets Using Keyboard Shortcut

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

Hi!

I'm trying to creat a macro that I can use to quickly load up a "go to" preset on Pro-C2.

I'm using the ProTools preset menu, not the built in FabFilter preset location.

So far I have the macro open the preset drop down menu using the "UI Elements" action, but this is where it gets stuck though.

I can't figure out how to make it select the specific preset from the drop down list and then open it.

Help!

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

When I run the macro the presset drop down menu opens up, but then nothing happens. I need to open up AND then select and launch the specific preset

How were you running this script?

I used a keyboard shortcut within the target app

How important is this issue to you?
