I just checked and found a way to do it.

• Select the soundbite
• From the "Audio" menu, choose "Apply Plug-In..."
• The "Apply Plug-In" chooser window will open up.
• Type "reverse" (Search field should already be active)
• You should see the MOTU "Reverse" MAS plugin. Select it.
• Hit "Enter" (or click "Select")
• At the next dialog, ignore the "Pre roll" and "Post roll" fields (leave them at 0), and hit "Enter" (or click "Apply")

Voila!

Okay... I had made a previous post mentioning you can set this up with Keyboard Maestro. You can get it here: https://www.keyboardmaestro.com/main/ It's quite useful to have.

Anyway, ran into some strange problems where the macro worked when invoking it from the Menu Bar, but not with a hotkey. Using a hotkey was resizing the Track Overview for some inexplicable reason. I couldn't find a redundant hotkey anywhere. I ended up using ⌘-F11 and that took care of the problem.

So these are the steps in the Keyboard Maestro Editor. Note that the 2nd and 3rd step (the mouseclick and Tab) are necessary. The 2nd step clicks the "All" item in the left pane in the "Apply Plug-In..." chooser. The 3rd step, moves the cursor to the search box.

If you already have Keyboard Maestro, I'm attaching the exported macro. You should be able to unzip it, then double click the file "Reverse Soundbite.kmmacros" and the macro should be added to Keyboard Maestro for you. You might then have to modify the hotkey to something else if needed.

Anytime. It's nice to be able to find something I know the answer to!! It would be more convenient if this function was easier to get to, but oh well. I actually built a macro for it as I mentioned and assigned a hotkey to it. I also have a Euphonix MC Control and I made a touchscreen softkey that invokes this macro. You could easily do make a macro and assign it to a button on Streamdeck.
