Thanks for mentioning that. I wasn’t aware (yet) that there’s no variable to read the track state directly.
This would be helpful, but would require me re-implementing the “reach to change” functionality for each track I want to control with a macro.
I thought it makes more sense to have this implemented once in the definition of TrackVolume function on your side, and that’s what I suggested.

What do I want to achieve?
I want to control track volumes from a macro in a way that behaves the same way as If I set it up using project settings midi mappings set to mode ‘reach to change’.

A track volume midi-mapped through settings UI will use ‘reach to modify’ feature, but setting track volume via macro (currently) does not provide this option.
So there are abrupt jumps or You have to code ‘soft catchup’ each time you want to change volume via macro.
