Hey guys. I've been working on "Chop-Chop!" for a while and it's finally here. The little tool for a faster workflow. It is made using Autohotkey and actually It is a rework of little script I did back in 2017, but way more advanced.
You open it by right click(hold) + left click and it looks like this:
To begin, extract zip file and then.. 1. place "Chop-Chop!" folder anywhere you'd like. 2. Install two FL studio's fonts ("Cuprum" and "Fruity microfont") in the folder.
3. Run the exe file. 4.Click ⚙ and then you need to set it up by tweaking just 4 controls (coordinates for the mouse) in the settings window. It has the instructions inside. 5. In Playlist and Piano roll set snap to grid to Main. After that it is ready to go.
List of Hotkeys:
F1 (in the main window) ---> Hotkeys list
V ---> Draw Tool (I've remapped it so now keys are next to each other and it's more handy--> C-V-B = Slice-Draw-Paint)
[ ---> Copy Parameter (hover and press the button) - Thanks to @FLStudioBits!
] ---> Paste Parameter (hover and press the button) - Thanks to @FLStudioBits!
\ ---> Delete Automation Point (hover and press the button)
= ---> Type in value (for knob/slider/automation point) (hover and press the button)
~ (Tilde Button) ---> Metronome
Alt + Space ---> Half Speed
Ctrl + ~ (Tilde Button) ---> Tune Pitch to 432Hz (hover and press the button) - It's for those who makes that kind of music. You need to tune pitch on every instrument using this hotkey until IL team adds main tune function
). Ctrl + 1 ---> Align Plugin windows (by the mouse cursor) - Thanks to @MadMa!
Ctrl + Shift + A ---> Create Automation Clip
Numpad / ---> Link to controller
Numpad * ---> Override generic link
--------------------------------
For "Snap Grid" section I did some renaming as you can see, I simplified it so visually it is quicker to pick the right one. Not sure if all would like it but it is what it is.
Numpad 0 ---> Snap 1 Bar
Numpad 1 ---> Snap 1/4
Numpad 2 ---> Snap 1/8
Numpad 4 ---> Snap 1/16
Numpad 8 ---> Snap 1/32
Numpad 9 ---> Snap 1/64
Numpad 3 ---> Snap 1/3
Numpad 6 ---> Snap 1/6
Ctrl + Numpad 3 ---> Snap 1/12
Ctrl + Numpad 6 ---> Snap 1/24
--------------------------------
ESC ---> Close window

It is free to use, please enjoy!
If you have any suggestions for more features, let me know, I might add them in the next update (if any).
Thanks!
P.S. here is a video. Don't judge me too much, this is my first video)
