Just a reminder that some plugins doesn't update GUI when updating parameters

Scripting with Gig Performer
1

Hi Guys! Old customer returning to live performances using this awesome software :smiley:

I was playing with GPScript to update mono settings on Steinberg Retrologue Plugin that have “on” “off” behaviour which cast to double as 0.0 and 1.0.
I simply added a widget to set this mono parameter on Retrologue whenever the pedal toggle, but for some reason I wasn’t seeing updates in the GUI whenever Callback events were received. I tried printing values and debugging the script until I tried to touch the keyboard piano and voila! for my surprise indeed the value was doing effect but wasn’t reflecting on the GUI.
Probably this is because some values aren’t intended to be set without clicking on it.

So long story short always play your keyboard and do not always trust GUI of plugins. That could be save long time when dealing with scripts

Yeah, scripting has probably nothing to do with that, that seems to be a limitation in the GUI of your plugin. Did your try to reach out Steinberg to tell them that host automation parameters changes are not reflected by the Retrologue GUI ? (Don’t speak about scripting with them)

Yes In fact, now I found other controls like the Release (a common one) that also have problem updating the interface.
I think I’m going to reach them for more info.

Thanks!
