Trying to get the controller master VU to match on screen VU... but the visual on screen is generally always lower than controller. my guess is that I have multiply the param... but then it still will be off in other circumstances. perhaps I'm not using the right command?

<visual source="get_vu_meter_left & param_multiply 175%" type="linear" orientation="vertical" direction="up">

If the Master VU on your controller is hardware operated (which I believe it is) you're never gonna make the 2 vu-meters match.
The controller's VU-meter uses different scale than software and since the scales are not linear but logarithmic, you can't make them match by multiplying/dividing the master VU values.

Phantom: this is what I currently using and works for only the deck 1-4 meters:

By using individual LEDs, deck meters aligns PERFECTLY from controller to screen.

It's just the master VU Meter I'm having problems with. I think it can be done with the same as above, but I think I'm missing something.
