Shortcut combination to remove Melodyne Region FX?

[Sal Sorice]

I know CTRL+M will create a Melodyne Region FX.  What I'd like is a shortcut to remove the Region FX but can't find a way to do it.

That command does not appear under Preferences/Keyboard Shortcuts. Also can't find that command in the Custom Module of the Control Bar.

I know you can bounce to clip, but that would preserve any edits, which I may not want to do.

I was thinking maybe an Auto Hotkey script, but I'm no programmer :^)

Any ideas - or am I missing something obvious?

sometimes an option is only available when there is an active region, but it's not showing up as a keystroke-accessible option in the preferences list for me either, so it may be that the remove region fx either requires you do it manually or as you suggest an auto-hot key type approach.

And there doesn't seem to be an entry under any of the menu items to assign to a custom button.

Simple solution.

Go into preferences, Keyboard shortcuts and my choice was the "Z" key got assigned to open Melodyne and the "X" key to render. This keys were not every used by me. This eliminates a zillion mouse clicks when working on a track that is chopped into shorter clips. 

I re-assign a lot of the main shortcut keys as I hate having to use Combination shortcuts. I'm a mouse type person. I even re-assgned the "T" key to be Transpose because I rarely need to open the tool menu that way. The "V" key is now save.

@Bass Guitar, I'm not concerned with opening or rendering - I'm trying to come up with a (shortcut) way to REMOVE a Melodyne Region FX.

The only shortcut I know of is UNDO...but at a certain point, that's way too far back-in-time to make sense.

I tend to duplicate the track, then archive/hide the original.

I find Melodyne works best if you make your changes, then apply the region fx - if nothing else, it frees up CPU, but it also protects your project against any possible incompatibility issues should you upgrade Melodyne and try to open an older project.

But obviously you're committing your changes... so keeping an archived track with the original means you can always go back if you want.

Delete melodyne RegionFX with AutoHotKey shortcut

AutoHotKey V1

https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-install.exe

 

(Version 2 if you want to look at it. This script is V1 only)

AutoHotKey V2

 https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ahk-v2.exe

(AutoHotKey is frequently flagged as viruses, but they are not. But, a warning - Do not run free scripts without knowing what they do!)

Run This script in AutoHotKey v1 It will need to be installed first. I could redo it in V2 if you need. I am in the process of changing most scripts to V2, but am still more versed in V1.  I am at the stage where I put V2 commands in V1 scripts, lol. For the script to work properly, you need to have the mouse over the clip you want to remove melodyne from. Otherwise, it will not work. There is no error checking in these scripts. AutoHotKey simply sends the same keys you could type in to remove the Edit region manually. I have pauses of 300ms. It could be much shorter with a faster computer. Between 50-100ms. like Sleep 100 or even Sleep 50

;=REM in AutoHotKey , #z is hold windows key down and press z. Copy text from #Single Instance Force through } Name the file anything you want, but it must end in .ahk

You start the .ahk program first. It does nothing but sit in memory waiting for WIN+Z. When it sees this key stroke it will type the programmed info.

 

I named mine -    Remove-Melodyne.ahk     Most AHK Scripts work better run  as ADMIN, so right click your ahk program and run as admin.

I have another one I am working on to pause the audio and midi engines after no user input for x minutes. Wow, I just thought I should add the option to save the file and then turn off the engines. I wonder if an ahk save would crash less than the Sonar auto save????? I'll have to test this out too! I don't know how to pause user input while running a script yet either. Tons of stuff to learn!! Have fun. I also have a big one I am working on. It is a project timer to bill clients. Multiple cliesnts, multiple albums. multiple songs and multiple billable sessions per song. I hope to put this all on one like the size of a windows header bar! and very lean to allow very little CPU. 

 

 

 

#SingleInstance Force

#Requires AutoHotkey v1

;Run as Administrator
;NO ERROR checking included

#z::

IfWinActive ahk_class Sonar
{
Sleep 300
Send {RButton}
Sleep 300
send r
Sleep 300
send {Enter}
Sleep 300
send m
Sleep 300
Send r
Return
}

 

 

 

if you like AutoHotKey, here are some fun uses. Load this script and type addr and a Space  after. it will make this address for you. You can even stack these. You could paste these on below the Melodyne script. You can trigger either of these with the shortcuts. I have several LONG paths to files on another computer in my network. I hate typing those in!! Here are a couple you might need  sdmp and cdmp 

::sdmp::

send C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Sonar\MiniDumps

send {Enter}
Return

::cdmp::

send c:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Roaming\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core\Minidumps

send {Enter}
Return

 

::addr::

Return

Thanks @Max Arwood!!  I have auto hotkey V2. I’ll try and tweak the script to run but I am clueless when it comes to programming. 

[Max Arwood]

I’ll redo it in v2 tonight. It shouldn’t take too long. 

[Sal Sorice]

@Max Arwood - looks like an install of V2 leaves V1 intact. I ran your script and it worked perfectly - a great time saver!!

[Max Arwood]

Yes, I didn’t know, but I think I have 4 versions which can all run at the same time lol. They match different versions, like 1.0, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0, 2.?? I don’t know how autohotkey  can decide which one to load. I know you should code V1orV2 in the header.
