Using a Stream Deck + or Stream Deck with Studio One

[TDF1981]

Hi everyone,
Thomann had a sale and I picked a StreamDeck+ thinking I could program it for Studio One. But then I found a brilliant solutions by SideshowFX, they have profiles for StreamDeck+ and StreamDeck which go way beyond my programming skills:

Stream Deck Studio One Custom Made Icons for Shortcut Keys — sideshowfx

If you're looking to customize your Studio One workflow with Stream Deck, check out our collection of custom-made shortcut icons for maximum productivity.

I can definitely recommend those. They require a US keyboard layout (I have a German layout) so I just made a shortcut for my Mac to change to US keyboard as long as I am in Studio One. Works well.
I am now reaching for the Stream Deck more often than for my Faderport FP8.

Is it convenient for controlling plugin parameters? I'm hoping to someday find the funding for a piece of hardware that gives me physical control of plugin parameters.
I'm wondering if the StreamDeck+ is flexibly switching plugins as you're switching focus?

I have actually to yet test the plugin capabilities of the script as I use a nOb controller for most plugin stuff - best I have come across so far. I suggest you take a look at SideshowFX website, they have a lot of info available.

I have a Streamdeck XL and a Plus, but I still use MIDI controllers for plug-ins, as I guess I am just used to them (only got the Plus a couple months ago). I like the SideshowFX software too- Note that they run 30% off sales every couple of months. I think the last sale was around Valentines Day last month. They offer an email list and IMO don't spam.

I use 3 Streamdecks with Studio One. I started with SideShowFX stuff and just kept adding my own. Right hand on my mouse, left hand on top of the 3 Streamdecks and left side of the keyboard. It's wonderful.

I do not use them with plugins though.
