I think the printed amp is the output total.

Ah! I thought it was per instrument, but now that I try it, I think you are correct!

Hm. I wonder if those levels are accessible to use in a compressor/limiter type opcode...

Maybe if I have an always on instrument receiving audio from every instance of the performing instrument? But if I use a global variable the contents would be replaced by every new instance, right? What about if I use channels?

Regards,
Anders

The monitor opcode will give you the overall combined signal of all instruments. Maybe it can be of some use to you?

To do manipulation of the master audio out, like the master bus on a
traditional mixer, I think it is best to use chn channels to send
audio from each instrument to a "master audio out" instrument, where
you do master level and any treatments (compression/eq/etc). And while
you're at it, you can create master aux effects with the same
technique, if you like.
