We are migrating the forum to a new server April 18 (started approx. 10:10 CET). During some of this time, the forum will be in read-only mode, so that we make sure new contributions aren't lost in the migration. Hopefully this will only last a few hours.

How to trigger SoundFlow from Pro Tools

By Christian Scheuer @chrscheuer2019-04-01 13:16:31.359Z

From @Fokke

Does the PT API allows to trigger SF from PT? So, as example, when record is initiated, trigger a command in SF ?
If not, would HUI be able?

    We could potentially add HUI triggers as a new trigger type.

    I'm thinking this is because you wanted to change your Stream Deck icons' background to red when in record, right? I think the test and implementation needs to be broken up into several phases before we can get there.

    For now, it would make sense to just test the showModal Stream Deck behavior which is a different kind of integration than changing background colors on existing items.

    For the different kinds of triggers, in 2.2 we have support for long running, polling commands that can for example constantly check if PT is in record or not. If it registers that PT is in record, you can make it do an action, or not.

        Well, the idea of the SD icons turning red was more a fun implementation. But when PT is able to send triggers when states change would make a lot of possibilities happen.
