How could I distinguish a patchers in a different tracks in Ableton Live, please?

As a MIDI effect, I add a patch, I have created, to the Live track 1. This patch creates an object (lets say a slider) by using JavaScript. The function is called by the loadbang. To the 2nd Live track I add the same MIDI effect patch. Again another slider object is created, triggered by the function called by the loadbang.

The problem is, there are 2 slider objects now in the 1st track. The 1st one has been created by the 1st loadbang (while add the patch to the track 1) and the 2nd one by the 2nd loadbang (while add the patch to the track 2).

Is there any way, how can I distinguish the tracks? How can I make sure the object will be created (or shown – in presentation mode) in the patch of the one track only?

 object representing the device, from which you can get the parent object (i.e the parent track).

, which you can use to keep track of your individual devices

First, don't use a loadbang - use live.this_device. 

Your javascript has access to a this LiveApi object representing the device, from which you can get the parent object (i.e the parent track).

Each instance has a different this, which you can use to keep track of your individual devices
