Toggling "Enable/Disable this receiver" with another data source

Is it possible to toggle the “Enable/Disable this receiver” checkbox with another data source, like a button from a Control Surface?

I want to click a button in my Control Surface that enables these two presets to be controlled by some midi that i receive, and when the button is off, these presets to not get triggered by said midi.

Thanks!

Hey!

Those toggles can’t be directly set by a data-source in that way.

A workaround for this would be to use a Control Surface plugin with eg a slider that has two of its own presets (one receiving from MIDI, one with no receivers), and then you can use data-sources (MIDI or otherwise) to switch between those states.

Hope that makes sense!

Not OP but thanks Dave, this is a useful solution to problems I can’t remember and have yet to conjure up. There truly does always seem to be a way to get things done in VDMX
