Three-Body Technology's Kirchhoff EQ: Curve Randomizer

Title

Three-Body Technology's Kirchhoff EQ: Curve Randomizer

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

There's a plug-in called the Kirchhoff EQ which has several different modeled curves that you can assign per band. I wanted to make something that could randomize the shapes of the EQ bands I used. Each instance of the Kirchhoff EQ is instantiated with my user default preset. This preset consists of 12 bands -- two filters (inactive by default), two shelves (active by default) and eight bells (active by default). I have managed to make great progress with this idea. The script can already establish which bands have been moved, what the shape of that band is and what corresponding shapes exist that i can choose from at random. I don't get any errors when running the script however it is not function as intended. I believe this may simply be a result of trying to change parameter values too quickly. Currently I am using elementClick({ actionName: AXIncrement )} and the corresponding Decrement to adjust for the delta. Any help would be amazing. It would be really handy to see if broader Qs or slightly different curves could be better.

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

The parameter changes but incorrectly

How were you running this script?

I used a Stream Deck button

How important is this issue to you?
