Is there a way to get the fader value from osc controller without moving the fader on the controller.

[netreceive -u -b 8000]
[oscparse]
[list trim]
[route fader_1]
[print]

with the code above if I was to move fader 1 on the controller it will print the value.

Let say that I move the fader to 50%. Is there any code I can use to retreve the value of fader_1 without moving the fader.

example [get fader_1 value] or {ping fader_1}

I guess it depends on whether the controller supports such a ping.
It would be possible to store the values in Pd once you move the slider, and retrieve it from there later.

The control supports pings. The controller is a software osc controller. I need PD to check the value of a fader that has not moved. for example lets say that I have led light that change color based on the fader location. I need PD to be able to check the value of the fader even if the fader has not been moved
