Default Shortcut for loading plugins?

Hello@all,

I want to speed up my workflow and asking you if there is any keyboard shortcut for loading a specific plugin from the plugin-list. I tried to create different templates for different genres and did some track-presets already, but this is not the real deal within a production scenario because it needs several "mouse-clicks" as well.

I am using Loupedeck Live, which is great for multi actions. It would be very useful if I could assign a keyboard shortcut to my Loupedeck for loading a single plugin (e.g. cmd+shift+1 for loading U-He Diva). Then, I would be able to load my fav plugins (EQ/Comps/Verbs/Synths) by pushing different buttons on my loupedeck. Great result.

Is this possible? Any hints highly appreciated.

Best
Mike

PS: I am on PT 2022.4 already

You can recall plugins via window configs. The latter you can recall via Eucon or memory locations via your control pad. I do that via StreamDeck.

I also use window configs.

It's possible to do with Keyboard Maestro / Mac Automation but fussy and doesn't travel with you.

Soundflow is the best answer (and for so much more as well)

I have a page on a Stream Deck with all of my most used plug ins, and not only is it a one button push instantiation but it does so on multiple selected tracks (even of differing 'widths') if desired

Thank you @all for your answers. Soundflow is a massive app, never heard about that before.

Installed it and used the Plugin Script which works for me on my Loupedeck :)

Bad news that only Pro Tools Flex users get this tool "for free". I have to pay the subscription fee.

Btw: What is window configs?

Obviously having user defined session templates with the plugins you always use the the quickest and most efficient way What I do to make things quicker for plugs I often use but may not be in a template is have them in the the plug in "Favorites" list Which shows at the top of the plugin window

Soundflow is a great product and much cheaper to subscribe to directly than get 'free' by being a Flex subscriber.
