You will want to set up the following blank apps and associate them with their respective Stream Deck profiles in order to get started: Make a 'Stream Deck Triggers' folder somewhere on your drive and copy the blank app below there.Дuplicate and rename it any time you want to add a profile trigger. This technique relies on a method of triggering Stream Deck profiles by opening blank trigger apps. In combination with generic and plugin-specific Stream Deck profiles, I can now tweak EQs, compressors and anything else I can think of, without having to look at the screen, with just a few buttons and a big nOb.

My personal use-case is rather specific: I have pretty bad wrist issues and use a nObcontrol to reduce time spent on the mouse. I can think of many uses for this, the most obvious being plugin UI button-pushes (without having to look at the screen). If you like the idea of controlling Logic plugin parameters with a Stream Deck, this may be of interest to you. You CAN actually add notes without switching instruments/channels. To fix this, hold the Option key down while you select the different channel strip instruments. If you simply click the channel Strip of the instrument you now want to edit, it deselects all of them, and you'll again only see the instrument you just clicked. Remember that only the selected channel strip will be the instrument you'll be able to add notes to in the Piano Roll. You can still see velocity by the length of the black line inside each note, so either look there, or enable Hyper Draw with it's button in the bottom left corner of the Piano Roll. Keep in mind that velocity is no longer represented by an inverted rainbow lowest velocity is purple, and highest velocity is red. There ya go! In my case, the three different instruments are represented by Orange/Yellow/Purple. Now from the Piano Roll's View menu, select Region Colors. Now that your regions all have their own colors, select the specific regions you're trying to edit together, and double click one of them to open the Piano Roll. Now when you're back in the arrange window, you can easily change all regions to the colors you chose by first selecting all (Command - A), then by using key command 'Shit - Option - C.' Remember to deselect everything once the colors change. Choose a color for the first instrument channel strip, a different one for the next, and so on so each instrument has a distinct color. Select the first instrument channel, then press 'Option - C' to open the color selector. Let's make this a lot easier to differentiate themвЂ¦ДЇirst, hit the 'X' key to open the Mixer. The problem with this though, is that it's difficult to see the difference between the parts. To resolve this somewhat, you could select all the regions together and they'll appear in the Piano Roll together. The same goes for editing instrument sounds simultaneously like stacked pads, or when comparing a melody line to a bass. Having to go into each instrument's region and edit the MIDI separately is time consuming, and not very musical since you can't compare what's happening in the other parts. Sometimes I'll use a Snare from the EXS24, a kick drum from Metrum, and hats from MicroTonic. I use so many different drum instruments in my tracks.
