Hi Phil,

Glad to see you're excited and working hard on learning LV2! Checkout the
example plugins: they show how things work.

In the UI, there is a  port_event()  function. It tells the UI what port
changed, and what its current value is. Use this to do widget->setValue(
newValue ); and you're done ;)

Eg (from OpenAV's ArtyFX, Bitta plugin)
https://github.com/harryhaaren/openAV-ArtyFX/blob/master/bitta/gui/ui.cxx#L131

How can I *get* the control ports values from the UI perspective?

In answer to your Q, how to "get", you don't: you're told when there's a
new value.

HTH, Cheers, -Harry
