<h3>bank_size</h3>
<p>
Bank Size is the number of channel strips the controller supports
strips.
</p>
<p>Please see: <a
- href="/using-control-surfaces/controlling-ardour-with-osc/calculating-feedback-and-strip-types-values/">
+ href="@@osc58-feedback-and-strip-types-values">
Calculating Feedback and Strip-types Values.</a>

then adding all those numbers together for a value to send.

+ href="@@osc58-feedback-and-strip-types-values">
Calculating Feedback and Strip-types Values.</a></p>
<p class="note">
Feedback can also be set with <em>/set_surface/feedback feedback.</em>
<p class="note">
Gain mode can also be set with <em>/set_surface/gainmode gainmode.</em>
</p>
+<h3>send_page_size</h3>
+<p>
+ Send_page_size is an int for the number of send channels that can be controlled
+ at one time. Each channel has a name, level and enable control. (added in Ardour 5.10)
+</p>
+<p class="note">
+ Send page size can also be set with <em>/set_surface/send_page_size send_page_size.</em>
+</p>
+<h3>plugin_page_size</h3>
+<p>
+ plugin_page_size is an int for the number of plugin controls that can be controlled
+ at one time. Each control has a name and level. As each plugin is different (as is each
+ parameter), the surface should expect to control the plugin parameters with a variable
+ control (pot or slider) with a float value from 0 to 1 (even on/off switches). (added in
+ Ardour 5.10)
+</p>
+<p class="note">
+ Plugin page size can also be set with <em>/set_surface/plugin_page_size plugin_page_size.</em>
+</p>
<h2>Querying Ardour for information</h2>
<p>
The control Surface may wish to control the type a frequency of
updates it receives. It can do this with querying commands. See: <a
