Hi together,

is it possible to create a macro in studio one to create a chord and a way to click then on ok on the chord creation screen, instead of clciking the ob button on the mouse always (i use atom sq and want to be able with one click in usersection of atom sq to create a chord)? Or are there other ways, that i didnt thought of? Thank you for an useful hint. i attached a pic and there i want to be able with a macro to click on ok, if thats posssible

Hi and welcome to the forum,

yes, that's what macros are all about! Actually, all the "Harmonize Melody with..." submenus in Harmony Wizard are macros that use this dialog.

Harmony Wizard - Manual

manual.studioonescripts.com manual.studioonescripts.com

Creating macros for the "Create Chords" or "Double at Intervals" commands actually works the same as with any other Studio One command. To get an overview, I'd recommend watching a macro creation tutorial, like this one I made a few years ago:

Does this help?
 
hi, thank you for this interesting video. How can i confirm a contextmenu with a macro? For example, i want with harmony wizard to create a chord, then its opening a context menu. How to push ok on the contextmenu with a macro? I guess it has something to do with assignments in the macros, but what do i have to write in there? Thank you ;-) its so hard to explain, what excactly i mean...
 
If you create the macro correctly, then the dialog won't show up anymore. You're controlling the different parameters in the dialog when creating the macro. All the parameters are then stored as part of the macro. When you run the macro, it will recall the command with the stored arguments.
 
ah ok i start to understand. Yeah i m not a programmer :-) can u give me an example for a macro, that closes the contextmenu on its own, that i understand how it works?
 
Yes, the secret is to double-click the command in the Macro Editor window (the right column where you've added the commands to the macro). This will open the dialog and once you've made some settings in the dialog and close it by clicking "OK", the settings will be stored inside the macro.

It was also in the video I linked above (section "Arguments"). But you can see this in action in this video (at around 3:40), perhaps that's more comprehensive because it's a full command dialog:

It actually sounds more complex when explained in words as when shown in the video. Let me know if this made it clearer!
 
Ok i found out the usage of the command double click thing. At the moment i am struggeling, that creat chord and other macros dont work anymore. What did i do? ahahaha
 
i cant even click on help, there are missing now all the harmony wizard Macros. I installed already s1 new and harmony wizard, no change

Reinstalling Studio One won't help here.

See the FAQ:
s1toolbox.com

Harmony Wizard for Studio One | Studio One Toolbox

Harmony Wizard is the first-ever MIDI & note editing extension for PreSonus Studio One, developed by MIDI and Studio One specialist Lukas Ruschitzka.
s1toolbox.com s1toolbox.com

I have installed and activated Harmony Wizard, but the Harmony Wizard features don't seem to work as expected.
In this case you should check if Harmony Wizard has been sucessfully activated. Open the Studio One menu and choose "Activate Purchased Items...". If activation has failed, this windows will show Harmony Wizard as an unactivated product and you can select it and activate it again via the Studio One Scripts website. After a restart of Studio One, Harmony Wizard should be available.

one more question: Is it possible to make an if/then programmation via the arguments and if, what i have to put into the arguments? i want to tell after 8 bars to go back to the beginning to create new chords. Thank you
 
There are no IF/THEN/ELSE constructs or variables available in macros - they aren’t that advanced (yet).

What exactly would you need conditional logic for? Usually, you think about which commands you'd use to accomplish a specific task, and then try to recreate that task using the existing macro commands. For example, to go back 8 bars, you can simply use the Rewind Bars command.
 
yeah that works, i mean it would be way better if there are simple programming commands like, if/then, but its ok. Do you have anworkaround for creating basslines? I want to transpose the basslines below/above the octave of the rootnote or the chordtrack. Sorry to ask so many questions, i m just hooked to these possibilities, especially in combination of an atom sq :-)
