Selecting Channels in Effects using Query

How can I quickly select all channels running in a specific effect? How about all channels running in any effect?

{Query} [Effect] seems to act erratically, placing "Effect *" on the command line, then you have to type Clear 6 times to erase it.

I can't answer your question about selecting channels with effects, but [Shift][Clear] will clear the command line so you don't have to press [Clear] a bunch of times.

Point is, when the command line is terminated, one Clear should clear the whole line, and in this case it doesn't. That points to a bug.

Just reread the OP, I missed the * after Effect indicating a terminated command line, my apologies.

in version 2.2 and earlier there is no easy way to select channels based on what effect they are running.

In 2.3 you can use query effect # or group effect # to select channels running a specific effect.
hang in there it will get out there!

What if you don't know the effect # offhand? Could you type Query Effect * to select all channels running in any effects?

Query Effect* and Group Effect* didn't work in the latest beta of 2.3. It only selects the last effect number applied. What did work though was Query Effect 1 Thru*. In my quick check that selected all channel running effects.

In later 2.3 beta builds [Query Effect Enter] will also work to select all channels running any effects.
