so yeah.
The VU Meters have only “12 steps” so 12 states to be at.
Here ist the original code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
Here is what i try to do
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
I just tried to increase that to 128, but idk if its possible to increase that so the VU meters looks more smooth

Hi,
Your XML code didn’t make it into the post.
Anyhow, which action are you talking about? Since you mention “12 steps”, I assume it’s about Mackie Control. These 12 steps are not a restriction made by the plugin; it’s built into the Mackie Control protocol and cannot be changed.
what if i bypass the mackie control?
My plan is to have more than those hardcoded 12 states of mackie.
But in the plugin only Mackie Controll has the option to be a VU meter
And for the VUmeter stuff i found 3 files in the plugin folder
C:\Users\”””””NAME”””””\AppData\Roaming\Elgato\StreamDeck\Plugins\se.trevligaspel.midi.sdPlugin\VUCurves

Those files are used by the Generic Midi dial, which, starting with version 4.3, can display VU meters.
Yeah i can display VU meters.
But only with the “Mackie Control” and nothing else
