SSL UC1 UF8 Track follow.

Title

SSL UC1 UF8 Track follow.

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

This script makes the SSL UC1 and UF8 follow track selection.

It works for well enough in the edit window. Not so much in the mix window.

The trouble for me is once it starts it runForever.. Is there a way that I can break out of this loop (without quitting SF)?

I guess I'd like to be able to toggle this function on and off. Maybe a script that says go kill this script.

Anyway, thanks in advance!

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

Works

How were you running this script?

I clicked the "Run Script" or "Run Macro" button in SoundFlow

How important is this issue to you?
