Global Variable vs. Passing Reg Variables Around?

[ericchesek]

Hello!

I have an interface script with a combo box, and a reg boxValue that updates with the value every time the menu selection is changed.

Now I want to use boxValue in a sampler script processor. Is there a way to pass the reg from the interface script to the sampler script? I found that defining boxValue as a global variable works as intended, but I'm unsure if this is good practice.

• its not .

define a slider(knob) in your script processor and update it with your "boxValue" when it changes. Then in your script processor use this slider...

@ericchesek What Lindon said. Also what value does the reg hold, is it the same as the combo box value?

@d-healey
Correct, it's the same value as the combo box.

[d.healey]

@ericchesek Then why do you need the reg?

@d-healey
The only answer I have is "I don't know."
So it's possible to get the value of the combo box directly from a sampler script? I thought that had to be done in the interface script for some reason.
