How to change MIDI CC of a modulator from Lua?

[dervur]

Hello there,

Is there a way to check and change CC values of modulators via Lua? I think it should be possible but I'm missing something here I think cause my code crashes.

The one to get the CC should be:

    local CC = 0
    CC = panel:getModulatorByName("Sample Part-1"):getProperty("midiMessageCtrlrNumber")

Right? This does not make Ctrlr crash.

However even doing console(CC.."CC") makes it crash so I don't understand if the way I'm getting the currently set CC value is wrong or what else is making the console string crash.

I can't seem to be able to set a CC either, what I'm doing is:
panel:getModulatorByName("Sample Part-1"):setProperty("midiMessageCtrlrNumber", 5)
This makes it crash as well.

Does anybody know if what I want to do is possible and if yes where is my mistake?

Cheers

Ok it appears that also my code above is doing nothing albeit it runs because console(type(CC)) returns "nil", so this solves why console(CC) made Ctrlr crash so I can't seem to get the property either...

Other things I tried:

local mod = panel:getModulatorByName("Sample Part-1")
    local CC = mod:getMidiMessage():getProperty("midiMessageCtrlrNumber")

Makes it crash.

local mod = panel:getModulatorByName("Sample Part-1")
    local CC = mod:getComponent():getProperty("midiMessageCtrlrNumber")

CC is nil...

Oh I just saw #619 so it is a known issue...
I'll leave the discussion open for future reference until this is fixed.

The following works on 5.3.201, but crashes on my build of 5.6!
You had the getProperty code correct but SetProperty() needs a third boolean parameter

panel:getModulatorByName("Sample Part-1"):getMidiMessage():setProperty("midiMessageCtrlrNumber", 5,true)
console("okay")

local mod = panel:getModulatorByName("Sample Part-1")
local CC = mod:getMidiMessage():getProperty("midiMessageCtrlrNumber")
console(CC.."CC")

Thank you very much! Yeah I saw your comment on #619 after posting this question... Thanks for the correction on the setProperty()!
