    Hi all, i wanna see on the SD the status of aProTools setting. For example to catch the status of preroll: i found the script to do it but i cannot found how to change icon on the SD button....i mean if it PreRoll is on show the colored icon on the strem deck and if it's off show the icon in grayscale.

    I saw the method showModal but it draw al the SD. I wanna now if there is a simple way to change a single icon.

    Thanks. G.

      Hi Gabriele,

      Unfortunately, there isn't a simple way to do this yet in SoundFlow.
      We're working on it :)

          that would be super handy!

          Same for the "Preview" state etc.

            any updates/eta when this is coming to soundflow?

            I have a few scripts in mind which would need some visual feedback on a streamdeck button, changing the text(colour) would be sufficient for the start.

              We don't have a public ETA on this yet. I'll bump it on our roadmap. Please check back in with us after the next release if it didn't make it in that.

                Hey,
                is this coming with 4.2?

                Also is there some documentation on globaleState-variables or other possibilities to globale variables that can be used by several scripts?

                  Hi Thomas,

                  For 4.2, dynamic Stream Decks are reserved for SoundFlow Developers. Make sure to catch our launch event tomorrow with Andrew Scheps' app:

                  Wrt globalState, that's just a global object you can assign any parameter to that you want :)

                      Do you mind exxplaining it to a noob?

                      Can I do visual feedback on buttons?

                      thx

                        Dynamic Stream Decks (changing what's displayed on the Stream Deck) are only reserved for SoundFlow Developers for now, as I mentioned above. So, no, you cannot do visual feedback on buttons at the moment.
                        We have a roadmap for how this will be possible through what our developers are making though.

                        GlobalState is completely unrelated to that question. GlobalState is like any other JavaScript object, you can assign properties to it. The difference is that the GlobalState object is shared between all instances of scripts, so you can use it to store information made by one script and read it from another.

                        //To store some info into globalState
globalState.myName = 'Ingo';

//To read some info out from globalState into a local variable:
var myName = globalState.myName;

                      This feature would be Awesome. Trying to figure out a way to have a PEC / Direct style control over my stems and would be great to see when in write mode or PEC / Direct mode.

                          Is this now available to everybody? The way I'm thinkingto implement this (for my limited use) is to duplicate the whole deck setup for each state of the streamdeck button i wnat to change
