The title says it all really but, is it possible to send a parameter along when triggering a Keyboard Maestro macro? Thanks

Depending on what it is, you might be able to pull it off by having Metagrid send a MIDI CC message, and have Keyboard Maestro be triggered by that message. You can have a KM macro only be triggered by a specific channel, CC and value, so that might be a way to go.

I’m guessing thats a no then if it requires a workaround…

thanks for the possible workaround @GreenWire

Currently it is not possible. The solution made by GreenWire is the only way to achieve it now.
