    Executing apple script to control soundminer but script doesn't work

    System Information

    SoundFlow 3.7.2

    OS: darwin 18.7.0

    ProductName: Mac OS X
    ProductVersion: 10.14.6
    BuildVersion: 18G103

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Trying to execute some of these events via apple script to control soundminer's radiom sampler

    https://info.soundminer.com/docs/apple-events
    2) Using apple script action in a macro with this script
    tell application "Soundminer v5Pro" «event SNDMmute» 1 end tell

    1. This script works fine via keyboard maestro so i know that it works at soundminers end

    Expected Result

    Apple script executes and mutes radium slot.

    Actual Result

    Nothing happens

    Workaround

    Keyboard maestro but id prefer to not have to send the action via that.

      Hi Andrew.

      From Monday, you can do this with a built in action:

      For now, I think you could do it like this:

      
sf.system.execAppleScript({
    script: `
tell application "Soundminer v5Pro"
    «event SNDMmute» 1
end tell
`
});

            I formatted it wrong - try again.
