I know that we can get the value of a local parameter for a specific instance like this:  
`eventInstance.getParameterByName(parameterName, out float paramValue);`

But I could not figure how to get the current value of a global parameter. Can someone help?

Cheers,  
Nikolaj

Oh never mind I found out:  
`FMODUnity.RuntimeManager.StudioSystem.getParameterByName("parameterName, out float paramValue);`
