Clear state behaviour

Quick suggestion - a way to clear all state behaviour of Cantabile parameters for racks, plugins and routes. Actually this may be similar to another suggestion I made a while ago, which was something like, “Apply this to all states”.

The way I set up songs these days, after slowly evolving my approach, is to add racks, plugins and routes, and typically disable all state behaviour for them (unless I know I obviously need something). Once I have all my song states defined, with everything running “statically” I can then introduce state behaviour on parameters as/when I need it; usually gain levels primarily. But I find that until I have a whole song set up, it’s counter-productive to have state behaviour set because I’m typically making tweaks on a song state that I actually want applied to the whole song (e.g. choosing my strings sound, establishing my routing etc). It’s annoying if I adjust my routing, and then need to go through all the other song states applying the change.

Consequently, the first thing I usually do when adding a rack, plugin or route, is to disable all state behaviour. Or I set up all my racks/routing etc. for the whole song, on one song state, then go through disabling everything, which is a lot of mouse clicks/keypresses.

What would be great would be a command for simply clearing state behaviour on all Cantabile parameters for an object, perhaps on the context menu of the object itself, and assignable to a keyboard shortcut. Would anyone else find this useful?

Yes I think this would be handy!
Maybe a “select all”/“de-select all” at the list on the left bottom!?
Or in the right-click-context-menu of the state?

Also check/uncheck selected ! please ! :slight_smile:

Hmm - interesting idea! To some extent, this is already embedded into my template song - state behavior is de-activated for most of the setup, especially routes.

Don’t forget if the state behaviours panel is focused (Ctrl-T if not), you can “Select all” state behaviours with Ctrl-A, and “Deselect all” with Esc which deselects, then Ctrl-T to return focus to the state behaviours panel.

We already have that - just press Enter, and all selected checkboxes will toggle, following the state of the top one.
