Someone help me out please. How can i extract the patch names from Halion 7, that it would auto populate the text labels in GP? So if i switch between rack variations, the patch names would accordingy change based on the loaded GP preset. Thank you in advance.

A script in each instance– one to send the message via OSC, and the other to interpret the message and set the label of the widget. For instance A(sending): Var knb : Widget txt : string On WidgetValueChanged(newValue : double) from knb txt = GetWidgetLabel(knb) OSC_SendString(“/lbl”, …

Unless the plugin exposes the preset name as a parameter you probably can’t do that, at least with the plugin’s preset system. And while you could do something similar using GP’s preset system (which works with all plugins), it’s unclear that this is a best practice. Your rackspaces and variations s…

I’m piggy backing on this 1 year old post b/c I have the same question. My plugin DOES expose the preset name parameter and the text label does display it ONCE, but it does not update when I change presets. Is it possible to update every time the preset is changed? At first, the label shows the c…

You can script it so that the label widget updates when the knob widget changes. Something like this: Var knb : Widget lbl : Widget txt : String On WidgetValueChanged(newValue : double) from knb txt = GetWidgetLabel(knb) SetWidgetLabel(lbl,txt) End

That was simple and beautiful as well as beautifully simple! :wink: hehe Thank you! Works like a charm! I monkeyed around with scripting it, but I was missing the txt part. Learning! Thanks again!

Taking this a little further, how would you shoot this over to another instance? The plugin and knob that is linked to the preset parameter name is in instance A and if I wanted the label to be in instance B? I don’t my normal OSC linkup in the widget properties advanced tab is going to do it. I’…

Awesome, glad to see there is a way! My sending instance is in the global rackspace, so I added /GlobalRackspace before the “/lbl” so it looks like: “/GlobalRackspace/lbl”. Is that right? I’m getting this error on the sending end: GLOBAL RACKSPACE (Script Entity: GlobalRackspace) - - Syntax Er…

[image] ztones: I added /GlobalRackspace before the “/lbl” so it looks like: “/GlobalRackspace/lbl”. Is that right? In this example. you don’t have to add /GlobalRackspace to the outgoing OSC address because you are simply generating an OSC String message called /lbl in the script itself. It…

I took out the /GlobalRackspace and back to your exact original code and same error on the same line….

I’m guessing the Syntax error is coming from the “ “ in the pre-formatted text. Copy/paste the scripts into a text editor first, then copy/paste the scripts into your gig from there.

You’re a genius! That was some serious detective work! :wink: Its working! Thank you so much!

How do I extract patch names from Halion 7 to display as text labels?
