Recall different Global rackspace widget values per rackspace?

General discussion about Gig Performer
1

Boy, am I having a great time with GigPerformer a month or so in, learning new features and getting the hang of things more every day.

Anyway, in the Gig I’m working on now, in the GR, I have a 16-channel audio mixer, and in its Panel, eight slider widgets (bound to MIDI controller aliases I set up in the Rig Manager). The idea is that in my individual rackspaces, I send up to 8 individual sounds (stereo audio outputs) into the GR’s mixer, rather than to the main audio out, so that when working live, I always have a consistent 8-slider mixer live, to balance the sounds used in the current rackspace. A pretty common GR use case, I’d imagine.

Now in the GR panel editor, I have all 8 slider widgets set to 50. But what I’d like to do is have it remember the individual settings (values for the sliders) that were most recently set for each (non-global) rackspace so when I re-select that rackspace, they return to the values I picked the last time that rackspace was used. (Either that or, returns to a pre-defined “hard-coded” set of values for each rackspace, rather than the last ones that were set over MIDI in “real time”).

I know this is an option within the regular rackspaces: to have the widgets either return to a defined value each time the rackspace is selected, OR to remember what you changed it to manually the last time and bring that back. But can I do a similar thing on a per-rackspace basis for these widgets in the GR?

Thank you!!

Great to hear

A belated thank you for this, I am working on implementing this approach now, of course it’s just what I needed. (I think my next question is going to be whether you can save a group of widgets as a unit for reuse among various rackspace panels? I know you can do this with groups of blocks on the Wiring page, so I’m guessing it will be yes.)

You can export and import a panel full of widgets.

Alternatively, open a new instance and open a gig file with the widgets you want to copy; then copy those widgets and paste them into the main Gig Performer window (main instance).

Great, thanks, I’m going to test to see if Export/Import allows you to take along the widget properties binding the widget to the global params defined in the GR (copy/paste doesn’t include those; you have to reassign them after pasting.)
