Hi Possemo, Many thanks for the reply.
As an interim I traced back to which faders where allocated for x and Y (via combo boxes) and read the values.
When ‘replaying’ modulations (via various timers) I am again sending values to the appropriate faders direct via Lua (which move and send values as I need). It works fine and faders are moving as needed, but xypad looks completely rubbish as the uiXYSurface just sits there doing nothing in replay mode.
I thought about hiding the pad when replaying, but that just leaves a big gap which is not good.
If only I could change xypad coords direct – Never mind. Not the end of the world.
I really like timer threading – very powerful!
