Hi Everyone,
I hardly ever draw MIDI CC data as I almost always play everything live, but occasionally it's just faster to go in and re-draw something. The other day I was in the MIDI editor and was wondering if there was an existing key command to switch between "input event types" For instance, if I wanted to switch between CC1 and CC11 a lot. I searched a lot but didn't find anything very related to this question.
I also went into the command menu to try to find "Insert Event Type" or really anything with "Event Type" and had no such luck.
Anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Thanks!
Insert Event Type, Command Assignable?

Re: Insert Event Type, Command Assignable?
Thanks for this, I downloaded quick keys and tried to set up a command for this but keep getting an error when I try to run it inside QuicKeys. It reads:
Step number 2 named "Select 7 Volume in menu Controller" failed with the description:
The Menu Selection step did not work.
• Make sure the application whose menu you are selecting is the frontmost application.
• Try enabling the "Show menus while performing menu action" option.
• If the Menu Selection step worked and this message is displayed, you may need to change the step result for this step
• You may want to create a Menu Clicks shortcut instead of a Menu Selection shortcut.
I've enabled "Show menus while performing menu action" and I can see it does the click and stops. I've also tried just doing the key command in DP with QuicKeys running in the background and absolutely nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? The tutorial video on that thread is great, but I don't really understand how this is set up in QuicKeys.

Re: Insert Event Type, Command Assignable?
It requires some trial and error, but once you get the feel for it, you can program them quickly.
Once you get a shortcut working, you can copy/paste them and only change the relevant parts (they'd be mostly the same).
If you PM your email, I could send you a fully programmed QK shortcut (probably tomorrow), so you can import it in QKs, study it, and replicate it for other shortcuts or tweak it to your liking.
