Go To, Link, or Hyperlink to Rack (from Global page)

I am setting up Gig Performer to control VST server for a FOH application (Front Of House).
I have several racks set up (basically 1 for each channel). I would like to from the Global page be able to have buttons to take me directly to the desired rack. I am sure there is someone here who knows how to do that (hopefully).

Kind of seems like that would be a strong contender for a supplied widget.

Hi @tbe, welcome to the family :wink:

With little scripting in the global rackspace that can be easily done:

//$<AutoDeclare>
// DO NOT EDIT THIS SECTION MANUALLY
Var
   R1 : Widget
   R2 : Widget
//$</AutoDeclare>


// Called when a single widget value has changed
On WidgetValueChanged(newValue : double) from R1
 if newValue == 1.0 then
    SwitchToRackspace(0, 0)
 end   
End

On WidgetValueChanged(newValue : double) from R2
 if newValue == 1.0 then
    SwitchToRackspace(1, 0)
 end   
End

You could shorten this by using the multiwidget version of this hat includes the index number

Thanks Paul.
Any pointers on how and where to place the code for the scripting would be helpful (and button command line)… I have done stuff like this in other programs; once I know a few basics I can often plod my way around.

Perhaps a complete actual example (or two) and I should be able to take it from there.

Hi, do you know this?

You have to open the global rackspace editor

And then paste the code.
And you need to define the widgets and give them the correct GP Script Handle
