Logic Pro: Changing all stereo balancers to stereo panning?

    Hej,
    new to Soundflow. My main DAW is Logic Pro. One thing I repeatedly have to perform is changing the panning-mode for stereo tracks or auxes. I don't use the balancer and change all tracks to stereo-panning. As I'm new, I don't see how to accomplish this with Soundflow.

    Anyone?

    The steps in Logic are easy: Select all tracks in the mixer, find a stereo-track, right-click on the panner and change it to stereo panning. Done. But I have to do this again and again, because the balancer is the (unchangeable) default.

    Would be great to have a shortcut just for this...

    Cheers,
    Jan

        I push that topic. Having a script toggling the balancer would be awesome.
        @Kitch could you have a look if you have a minute?

        I tried something by myself today, but the pan knob is difficult to address without mouse clicks?

        Cheers
        Josh

          Hi @Josh_Ha

          Are you referring to this option?

          If so, try this...

          const {
    getSelectedChannelStrip,
    /* @ts-ignore */
} = require("user:cli50xtc200015210vyksy31z:clodbag4e0002kb102vlefdcb");

function toggleTrackPan() {
    const selectedChannelsStrip = getSelectedChannelStrip();

    const getSliderByDescription = (description) => {
        const slider = selectedChannelsStrip.sliders.whoseDescription.is(description).first;
        return slider.exists ? slider : undefined;
    };

    const balancePanKnob = getSliderByDescription("pan");
    const stereoPanKnob = getSliderByDescription("stereo pan");

    if (balancePanKnob) {
        balancePanKnob.popupMenuSelect({
            menuPath: ["Stereo Pan"],
            isRightClick: true
        });
    } else if (stereoPanKnob) {
        stereoPanKnob.popupMenuSelect({
            menuPath: ["Balance"],
            isRightClick: true
        });
    }
}

toggleTrackPan();
