Open And Close All Plugins With ONE KEY SHORTCUT in Cubase

IMPORTANT SETTINGS: The midi addresses have to be set from 0 to 15 as follows. Starting with "0" on slot 1, "1" on slot 2, "2" on slot 3 and so on until "15" on slot 16. On the video I left them all at "0" which are the incorrect settings.

It wouldbe great to have a similar one switch for loading an instrument track with a favourite library ready to go.

Many thanks for this helpful video. With your guidance, I was able to set this up successfully on a Windows system using an Elgato Stream Deck.
In case anyone else wants to do this; I set up a Multi Action button on the Stream Deck with 16 MIDI commands. The Stream Deck MIDI Out port on each command was set to 'StreamDeck2DAW', which I believe came with Trevigla Spel's Cubase Stream Deck plugin. In addition to following the instructions in the video, I needed to modify the MIDI Output Addresses for the Generic Remote to be 0-15 (rather than all 0 as shown in the video).
As a bonus, I added an action to open the Channel Settings window using the same Stream Deck key.

Hi! For windows users, the same can be accomplished using Bome Midi Translator instead of Keyboard Maestro. Just create a new translator, set incoming to "keystroke" and outgoing to midi note. Duplicate the translator with the same keystroke but changing the output midi note until you have all of them. Important to set the incoming midi port to the streamdeck port or whatever. Also the opposite can be achieved, converting midi messages to keystrokes. You could even create a keyboard with function keys working perfectly using any midi device app (like lemur). Hope it helps!!!

Could you revist this and demonstrate how you would open/close plugins independently with a midi controller that has several available buttons?

[gotyor]

I do the same thing. I only setup 12 on my NI F1 controller. So i have these 12 pads that represent the plugs and its super quick. I have another controller where I did same thing and it does the bypass of those same 12 inserts. Cubase ability to assign most anything to anywhere makes it so powerful!

Looks promising, because keyboard maestro is not for windows I'm going to try this with my Android tablet and touchOSC. Your method disables the use of modifier keys which is great. Hopefully it will work. Thx

Do you know how to open a specific online plugin in Cubase's first available insert, with a shortcut? Or any technique to create one with KM? I would appreciate it.

[mikulamusic]

Great!!! With your help I set this up with my Streamdeck and I dig it! The only thing stumble upon is to make this work im using a 'Multi action' and seems that this multi action has a built in few ms delay between each action, so when I press the button I see the effects popping in or out in this sequence which I don't like. Maybe there is a way around this that im not aware of.

This one is a bit off topic, but since you're so handy with automating stuff in Cubase. I am wondering if you could help me with this: I use Softube Console 1 and in order for it to work, the Console 1 plugin needs to be inserted on each channel you want to control with the Console. Is there any way to insert a specific plugin via a shortcut or midi message? This would be my personal huge timesaver. Thanks in advance!

What is the variable "pluginStatus"?

[hertzouttahell]

Awesome Mate. I would use this if i would know which free Software can be used in Windows. Also shown up in the MIDI inserts in Cubase. I struggle at the last Point.

[yaoguangtang]

Does this mean I must have to buy a Keyboard Maestro to use this method?

[bongworth]

This works for now, but at some point Cubase said they would depreciate Generic remote. As it stands development of the new midi remote has remained unchanged since V12. Its really disappointing that Steinberg has added this functionality to the new midi remote.

Thanks for the tips...would have been nice to pop the xml in a link for users ;-)

[DAUBSKI]

I am looking for 1 plug at the time (not all there or not ) is there a setting?

[GRIND]

Do I need both? Keyboard Maestro and Bome midi translator?

[jonspecter]

you selected 16 chorus effects...what do you do when you are using 16 different plugins..I am a little confused..thanks.

[tonyhudspeth]

simply amazing ...wow ..
i have the same icon qcon as you coul i use a user key like "F4" on the icon ??
also could i use a cubase macro to do the same thing ???
thanks for a great video i now subscribe to your channel and look forward to future content..

[beatkellermusic]

Hey there, is ist possible to link each insert slot of a selected channel to a key command? Logic Pro has that function (shift + num 1-9)

[alhendis]

I followed everything, then reached the Keyboard Maestro part and you lost me completely
