Shortcut

Arguments
control value
Availability
when logged in
Purpose
To set the string value of a control
Notes
Like controlGet, this command returns the Control name, the string value
of the Control, and the positional value. When the Control name has
spaces, the argument should be enclosed in double-quotes, as in:
controlSet "Master Gain" -75
Response
Something like this: valueIs "Master Gain -75.0dB 0.250
Usage Example
The client issues:
controlSet "Main Gain" -3.4\r
or
cs "Main Gain" -3.4\r
to set the control value to -3.4.
The Control Alias name is enclosed in quotes because it contain spaces. (If the name does not
contain spaces, the quotes are not required.)
You can adjust the value of the control relative to its current value using:
cs "Main Gain" ++3\r
or
cs "Main Gain" --3\r
These examples increase the value by 3dB and decrease it by the same amount respectively.
You can reset the value of a string control by setting its value to double quotes "". For
example:
controlSet "strcontrol2" ""
Response
valueIs "Main Gain" -3.50dB 0.818\r\n
