Question: In JSFX when you do ext_noinit = 1; and init is not recalled, what about the @slider, whe playback and is stopped and the restarted, will the @slider be called? A null test that wasn't supposed to null when a slider hasn't been touched because the lookaheadcode is at @slider is actually pulling on playback stop/restart and no slider is touched. Making me.wondering if @slider is recalled each playback start in JSFX??

    that's super easy to check, run this: 
    @init
ext_noinit = 1;
@slider
slider_call_cnt+=1;
    then look in the watch window to see what happens to slider_call_cnt :) (spoiler: @slider shouldn't normally get called, but if the samplerate or blocksize changes, or undo state is loaded, etc, it will).

    Oh wow, eye-opener, I think I found it. The sample rate change retriggered the @slider. Stopping playback and using the plugin oversampling feature caused the @slider to retrigger and gave the correct values, that's why they null. Thanks so much. Will keep it in my notes. Pls indicate it in the manual that srate and block size change can retrigger even when using ext_noinit.
