Testing plugin in DAW - Ableton Live.  
When double clicking on a slider, it jumps to its initial/default value. OK. Then I move the slider to another value (X) and toggle the GUI window OFF (the right button in picture).

When I toggle it ON again, the default widget channel value changes to the new value X. When double clicking on a slider, it now jumps to the new value X.

Is this expected? Any explanations? Is there a way to prevent this?

It’s not by design, I’ll see if I can fix it.

[edit] those should be sorted now. After reopening the plugin window the initial values set for the sliders should be the default jump-to values on a double click.

I might expose that internal default value identifier. See [here](https://forum-next.cabbageaudio.com/t/change-default-value-of-sliders-after-init/2752).

If I understood correctly that is good news, which will not automatically change the default value as it did before this last fix, right? It will only enable to change it grammatically, right?

The last fix will remain, but yes, if you want update that value at runtime you can.
