Shortcut --> all Echoes on/off

[Astraios]

Hi there,

Is there a shortcut for this function (all echoes off - globaly) in the control bar (see photo)? I don't think so, but I might be mistaken... There is an echo shortcut for "all selected echoes on/off", but that's a slightly different function and takes about 1 second per echo to turn it on or off. This one is very fast and happens immidiately for all echoes in the actual project. Hm, there are also shortcuts for global solo and global mute, which work directly for all buttons...

No, there is not a Keyboard short cut for global Input Echo toggle.  Nor can one be set..

Looks like a candidate for a Feature Request.

@Promidi - It was some time ago, and I can't remember exactly, but there were a few assignments that were only accessible via the Shortcut Editor and didn't appear in the shortcut list... It could have been there (?). I don't really understand why "Echo global on/off" wasn't linked to a shortcut (like Mute or Solo), but there must have been a reason...

For example, show/hide Pro Channel (Ctrl+I) – you can't find the Pro command in the search, either in Global or in the Track View. It's only listed as an Assignment in the text area below. (see picture)

and this of course means that you can't assign any other shortcut to the command Ctrl+I...

I can imagine why you wouldn't want a global echo *on*; there could be projects with so many tracks that this could cause problems suddenly turning all those on. 

But i can't imagine why you wouldn't want to be able to turn them all *off* globally with one click or keystroke.

There is a one click global input echo toggle in the Mix Module.

I don't see this one in CbB but there is Input Echo which can be key bound.  It works per focused track but can work globally if you use Ctrl+A first.

As I mentioned in my post above, this one is not half as comfortable like the global- funktion in MenuBar. If you have 20 MIDI Tracks it takes about 20 secounds to turn them all on or off.

For my workflow, it wouldn't be important to activate them all, only to deactivate them. I work with "no echo on when track is activated" ( --> preferences) and for large projects, it would be great if I didn't always have to check which echo is currently activated. It would be senceful if I could simply turn all echoes off using one-hit shortcut. Thats the reason why I'm asking for...

Putting them in a folder would make it one click. If you do it frequently, you could key bind a group or 2 or more on the track level.

Hey thanks,

I just saw your message yesterday, and that's a great idea. I created an "All Tracks Folder" and put all the tracks into it. Now I can instantly turn all the echoes on and off in the Track Manager. There is no way to Remote-CTRL or automate this...
