Key Command for Next Rackspace?

General discussion about Gig Performer
1

I know in the Global MIDI you can set a midi command to go to the next rackspace and I see key commands for rackspace activities but i don’t see one for next rackspace.

While debugging my rig I noticed something in my panels that I needed to change across all rackspaces.

I created an Automator script to do it but I couldn’t fully automate it as I couldn’t advance to the next rackspace and I didn’t need to make the edit in each variation. In fact some of the edits I would make (Ignore Variations as an example which is a button) would reverse themselves in the automated script.

This would be a great key command to have for rackspace editing.

Thanks

There is a command line program on GitHub (I think) called sendosc thst let’s you send arbitrary OSC messages. I suppose you could probably invoke that from an automaton script to make GP go to the next rsckspaxe

Isn’t the solution just to add the template gig script for “next”?

On Keystroke matching "n" Description "Next"
    Next()
End

After that automator can move through rackspaces by sending keystroke “n” to Gig Performer.

You have to use NextRackspace()

On Keystroke matching "n" Description "Next"
    NextRackspace()
End

Ah, yes, that’s what I meant :wink:

Great. That’s helpful. Is it downloadable in the forum?

Yes but that only works if the main window has the focus….I wasn’t sure if that was always the case here

The last script above from @pianopaul can be pasted into the Gig script editor (Window menu), then click Compile. After that, if GP window has the focus, pressing “n” on the keyboard will advance to the next rackspace.

I assume your Automator script was already activating GP before sending any keystrokes?

Yes it was. I’ll have to try it out. That could be great for any batch editing. Thanks so much.

This worked brilliantly!

Thanks for this. I did the same for “b” to go to previous rackspace, which also worked brilliantly.
