Topic: Totalmix Hotkeys when not in focus?

I'll probably end up getting one of these ARC things, but I see that I can assign a talkback function in totalmix to one of my F keys as well. That is really cool!

Unfortunately, it seems like, if Totalmix isn't the app in focus, the keystrokes are ignored. Anything I can do about that?

I could do touch osc or something instead maybe, or I do have  midas M32 on the desk, maybe it could send midi to totalmix?

Re: Totalmix Hotkeys when not in focus?

ooops, should this be in the totalmix section instead? Sorry

ARC USB is what you need smile

The F keys only work when TotalMix is in focus, since all apps have to share these keys.

I hate to pay 200 bucks for one button. The way my setup is, the rest of it wouldn't be of much use unfortunately.

I was able to get my M32 to talk to it thru MCU protocol, though its not working well in raw midi mode.

Also finally found a way to do it with autohotkey

But best is that I think we have a way to control it fro mthe REAPER toolbar

On the other hand the ARC USB gives you a real value, its very comfortably to work with it.
€129 is not that much for this control as it gives you more than one button at the end .. simply comfortably working
and stable build quality.

Trying this right now:

; Erzwinge nur eine laufende Instanz
#SingleInstance, Force

; "F12" wurde gedrückt
F12::

; Speichere die ID des aktuell aktiven Fensters in einer Variable ab
WinActivate
ActiveWindow_ID := WinExist("A")

; Starte TotalMix FX, wenn das Programm noch nicht läuft
if (!WinExist("ahk_exe TotalMixFX.exe")) {
if (FileExist("C:\Windows\System32\TotalMixFX.exe")) {
Run, "C:\Windows\System32\TotalMixFX.exe"
} else if (FileExist("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\TotalMixFX.exe")) {
Run, "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\TotalMixFX.exe"
}
}

; Finde die ID des TotalMix FX Fensters und speichere die ID in einer Variable ab
WinGet, TotalMixFX_Program_List, List, ahk_exe TotalMixFX.exe
TotalMix_ID := TotalMixFX_Program_List%TotalMixFX_Program_List%

; Aktiviere das TotalMix FX Fenster
WinActivate, ahk_id %TotalMix_ID%

; Sende Tastatur-Input an das Fenster
SendInput, {F8}

; Aktiviere danach das zuvor geöffnete Fenster
WinActivate, ahk_id %ActiveWindow_ID%
