Macro Button : Restore Initial gain if gain >= value.

[piflyon]

Hi.
X, Y and Z are any hardware track.

Is is possible to :

1- memorise the gain of track X
2- fade gain of X to (ex) -60 if track Y or Z are playing something.
3- fade gain of X back to memorised gain at step1, when Y and Z are not playing.
?

Actually I have 2 macro-buttons, one for Y and one for Z, both fading X when trigger gain is happening.
The 1st problem is, beside having 2 buttons, I did not find how to memorise the initial gain of track X to restore it.
The 2nd problem : When track Y is triggered while track Z has triggered first, track X is going back up.

Something like (for one button on track Y for instance) :
Initial state required :
Strip(X).gain>-50 //Only if not lower than that (already faded)

Button Trigger IN:
myGain = Strip(X).gain
Strip(X).fadeto=(-60,1000)

Button Trigger OUT:
Strip(X).fadeto=myGain

Unless there is another way. Thank you.

there is no way to use local mem and read parameter in MacroButtons...

but we can think about making this work in more consistent way
ON: Strip(X).fadeto=(-60,1000)
OFF: Strip(X).fadeto=(+60,1000)

i note it...

I guess you mean that "+60" would be detected as a "back to previous".

I don't know if you code MacroButton yourself, but for the sake of the syntax, maybe you could introduce a new function like UnFade():

Strip(X).FadeTo(gain, duration) : memorise original gain
Strip(X).UnFade(duration) : back to original.

Won't solve the problem of 2 tracks fading a single one, but at least would be cool for one track.
