Is it possible to access Global Script widget handles from the Local Rackspace script ? I have been using now for several years my Global Rackspace as my main mixer for all my plugins used in the rackspaces, and controlling the levels of the global mixer from within the local rackspace. That works …

The meter widgets are special - unlike other widgets, meter widgets explicitly query the gain value of a mixer channel rather than being informed of a change.

@rreuscher like @dhj said, you can’t get the level meter display values this way However, Yes, there is a way to get global rackspace widget values with scripting, look for the BindExternalWidget and GetExternalWidgetValue functions - it won’t work for this specific use case but does exist If you…

It is clear now that it will not be possible using the meter widgets. I might go the route of creating a simple plugin myself to forward level values to local rackspaces. With regard to “1”: How do I “BindExternalWidget” to the global rackspace ? What would be the name of the rackspace… (have not t…

@Frank1119 that was exactly what i had in mind, so why inventing the wheel twice. Today I finally found some time to download and test your Magnitude vst3. Unfortunately it fails to load in Gigperformer. Do you have any idea why it might fail ?

[image] rreuscher: Do you have any idea why it might fail ? Are you on Windows? You might need to unblock it: in explorer right -click on the .vst3, choose properties. If it is blocked, you see that on the bottom of the properties dialog, along with an option to unblock

I have both, but this one I’m testing on windows, yes

[image] rreuscher: I have both, There’s no Mac support, because I can’t notarize the executable. I can compile it for, but then you have to disable the mac-security check for this library, somewhere, somehow Or you import the juce project and compile it with xcode
