M4L device parameters - text input ...

Simon Blakely's icon

I want to build a M4L device that accepts a parameter that is a text string (actually the name of a scene to take actions on). The intention is for this to be automated by ClyphX device actions.
I guess I could just use an integer value parameter to identify the scene, but names make more sense to me.

Is it possible?

yep it's possible
you need to figure which track you're on, which slot is playing, and ask for its name

I can do that within the device - however, I want to tell the device what scene to operate on via a device parameter.
