Trigger Keyboard Maestro macro from S6?

[Rich Breen]

Hey - is there a way to trigger a Keyboard Maestro macro from an arbitrary button on the S6? I'd love to be able to repurpose a couple of unused transport control buttons to trigger some KM sequences.

TIA,
rich

Do you use SoundFlow? That was turned on in EUCON 23.6.

Yes, pretty sure you can do that. Someone just did it from an S3 check out this post https://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=425911

Thanks Jeff and Eddie! Yes, I am a Soundflow user and could rescript in SF and/or just assign the existing macro to a softkey, but really what I was asking is if there's a way to assign a KM macro to an 'arbitrary' button on the S6 - what I want to do is 'repurpose' a couple of the transport buttons that I never use (RTZ, Back, next/prev Clip) - why? Because that's where my hands are sitting when I'm tracking and these macros are record/transport related.

Maybe not possible, but just wondering...

thx!

If you can do it on S3 you can do it on S6.

Just to say this is easy and works fine - I now have dedicated transport keys to duplicate playlist and go into record from one button, no Soundflow required - thanks for the help!

For anybody else reading this thread, any Keyboard Maestro macro can be assign to a physical assignable surface button or softkey.

Make the KB macro trigger hot key

Assign the KM hot key shortcut to the physical surface key in Eucon.

Obviously, KM needs to be running in the background on your system for this to work.

Soundflow is a viable solution but as has been pointed out many times in the DUC , custom Soundflow macros cannot be made on the free version of SF for Pro Tools subscribers or support plan holders.
