Automating Send Mutes/Bypass???

Don't think you can actually automate the bypass of sends. I know... weird.

But you can automate the LEVEL of the sends, which you can automate to practically be an "on/off" type of thing.

Or, automate the mute button of the Aux channel the send is pointing to.

Just wanted to let you know you weren't loosing it... not yet anyway 🙂

If you have other suggestions as to how to achieve this please let me know.

I have developed a small "Sends Bypass" (SB) palette some time ago. It supports up to 6 sends. The Macro is not protected and everyone can re-design it according the number of sends he/she needs. It is a very simple tool which uses 2 transformers per each send to temporary store the send operation value ( while the button is ON ) and toggle this value between the working one and zero.
You can create sub tracks for each SB palette ( and use "H" to hide the track ) and record the palette buttons automation as midi region automation. The automation is based on CC# messages so you can easy edit it using Autodefine, Hyper Draw, Event List etc.
There is a stand alone Environment layer named "Sends Bypass" so you can easy import the SB palette to another projects using Environment Options->Import Environment->Layer...

I just re-read your previous post an found out you wish to do that "live".
This requires a new environment scheme, cause each SB needs custom midi channel and a channel splitter global track where you can record the CC automation. The scheme can be copied ( The Channel Splitter + the 16 Palettes ) any time, where you must give an unique name for the Channel Splitter and create a global channel for it to be able to control its 16 sub SB palettes etc.
The "Sends Bypass" palettes receive CC numbers (28-33) set to midi channels 1-16.
I.e you must select any of the Channel Splitter (X) tracks and record externally/internally the midi automation you want.
There is stand alone Environment layer of the new update as well !
