Note: I noticed some macros that hide things will also need another macro to restore the previous state. For instance, the macros "Window > Hide Transport" needs another macro to show the transport again, i.e. "Window > Show Transport". So if you find any macros where you can't execute a command to restore the previous state, just duplicate the macros and change the words from "Hide" to "Show," both in the name and the Menu item. These two state macros can be paired into a single multifunction button in Stream Deck to flip the states.

I'll keep updating the macros as we add more things.

TIP: As I mentioned earlier, in Keyboard Maestro, you can highlight a macro and test it by pressing the "Run" button in the upper right to see the macro in action in Reason before you start programming buttons in Stream Deck. It's a nice way to verify, and also why I discovered that I missed some "show" macros after I hid something! :lol:

BarRaider Super Macro for the Streamdeck has a Toggle which should work.

BarRaider plugins are officially supported only on Windows. There's no ETA for Mac support as BarRaider does not own a Mac.

The Stream Deck Multi Action Switch works perfectly as a state toggle. It even dims the icon graphic on "Hide". I just made one and it works beautifully! :thumbup:

I'm starting work on a Reason Profile that will link to other profiles and folders of button commands. I'm visually oriented, so I'm going to replicate the actual Reason icons – using vector when possible – for each 400 x 400 px button image. I've replicated the transport bar to start.

Wow, these are so clean. I have some developed myself and would like to share. Where can we save these templates?

Selig mentioned to me that he was thinking of creating a new section just for the Stream Deck and for sharing uploads. In the meantime, I suppose you can just zip and upload it here.

I had suggested a new thread since this stuff is based on Mac OS and Keyboard Maestro files, and this thread was started by LABONERECORDING's and they are PC based.
It will also make it much easier for folks to find by searching, thinking towards the future here.
