Feature Request (Query): Is there a hotkey for Audio Status?
Just wondering if one can pull up the Audio Status via a keyboard shortcut?
would be really handy if anyone knows a way
totally justified request.
or at least something to click on in the toolbar.
maybe there is still some space somewhere between all these important buttons such as "calendar" and "vizzie"?
or what about alt-click on the audio on/off icon?
yeah, I realise ⌘, has gone on the preferences which is the hotkey usually getting you to the audio settings (in most MacOS audio apps).
using Max in conjunction with Zoom etc has only highlighted this issue when it comes to switching the interfacing.
Navigating to Options > Audio Status with the cursor every time just feels like a chore (lazy I know).
i second that ! having at least the possiblity to open audio status when right clicking the Audio on/off button in the toolbar would feel intuitive, elegant and useful. Maybe a shortcut in the Preferences panel that you open with ⌘, (the Preferences pannel does make sense for that shortcut but an Audio status shortcut from there would be welcome ).
edit maxinterface.json file
@sourceaudio: cool! could you paste the block of json that does this please? I'm not sure which keyword I should be editing
yeah, maxinterface or on mac, a third party controlpanel, solves it for individuals.
but it remains an annoyance that there is no default command.
you can also trigger the ";max dspstatus" message or the "open" message to dac~ with a combination of keys using the [key] object
Thanks guys, and @sourceaudio for clarifying!
If Cycling74 team catch this – would love to see a command as default if possible.
@LSKA yea, I'd rather have a hotkey though, this is a every new patching session step so even pulling in snippet like that becomes a bit tedious, (open) message is my current quickest path – it'd just be nice to avoid the cursor exercise.
Where would I find maxinterface.json on macOS? I've checked both the application bundle and ~/Library/Application Support/Cycling '74/Max 8, and it's not in either of those places. Thank you!
Can you tell how did you check application bundle ?
What is actually spotlight (which I delete besides many other things from system)
used for ?
