[SOLVED] Message "open" opens all instances of vst~ effect GUI

[JEFinster]

I have created a wrapper for my favourite AU effect to have a nice and practical representation of all the parameters on my push. What I really like is the possibility to open the effect GUI with the "open" message. Now I have the frequently used parameters on my push and can open the effect GUI with a toggle button, also directly from my push.
I spent quite a lot of time to get it exactly how I like it but now I discovered an unexpected behaviour when I place multiple instances of the m4l device on multiple tracks. When I want to open the effect GUI of a single track the effect GUIs of all the different instances on all the tracks are opened simultaneously. It is annoying but in a way I could live with that but what makes it even worse is that the particular effect GUI I wanted to open is not even on top .

Is there a way to tell m4l that I only want to open only the effect GUI of that particular device instance on that particular track?

do you use "Global" send recieve with out "---"?

Wow, thank you. That was exactly it. I wasn´t aware of the different scopes and used a lot of send/receive objects. Now I changed them all to use the local scope "s ---" and "r ---" and now it is working as it should.
This also fixed another issue I had when I loaded multiple instances of the device. When I turned the knobs too fast the parameters would become glitchy und unresponsive. Here also I send/receive parameter values on a global scope.

Thanks again for the great help.
