Hi

Is there a Way to iterate over a Overlay-Object? Lets say i want to retrieve the Label for a given midiValue from a Overlay. But the Overlay was created over the GUI and not based on a Table in LUA. Is there a solution? i would need it to create dynamic MidiControls with nice Labels instead of non-speaking MidiCC Numbers.

thx busa
