I would like to be able to use an action to change soft key assignments. The scenario is I want to have access to FOH and MON channels on a surface, but I want the monitor sends on soft keys when I’m mixing monitors and my FOH effects and tap etc when mixing FOH. I’ve done it with scenes for now, but a toggle action would be must better!
Why not use scenes to toggle? Also only one softkey needed. At least that is the way I am doing stuff like that…
As I said in my post, that is what I’m doing currently. I think scenes are a much clumsier way of doing this, it would make more sense to have a single action that could do this, also potentially adding other things like switching the Pafl bus etc. The current show that I’m talking about is 5 stereo IEMs and 7 wedge sends, so 12 softkeys. My FOH effects sends and mute groups are 10 softkeys. There are only 19 soft keys on the C3500 surface.
You where talking about one task in the first place = changing the softkey setup with one softkey, hence my answer.
Because it’s really easy to forget to update the filtering on “utility” scenes and accidentally, say, unpad all the vocal channels live because the scene that changes your softkey assignments was last saved before the input list changed and your vocal mics got moved to channels that used to be used for stereo keys and stereo guitars, but are mono now and therefore aren’t filtered anymore even though you didn’t change the filtering on them. Go ahead, ask me how I know…

That sounds like an oddly specific occurrence.
You have a great imagination it seems.
