I have found this in the API docs which seems to get me pretty close:

[https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/studio-api-eventinstance.html#fmod\_studio\_event\_property\_maximum\_distance](https://www.fmod.com/docs/2.02/api/studio-api-eventinstance.html#fmod_studio_event_property_maximum_distance)

And it looks like I can loop through all loaded banks and all events to get the instances that are playing:

> [@Retrieving info for playing events](https://qa.fmod.com/t/retrieving-info-for-playing-events/11844):
>
> With the Designer API we were able to query which events were currently playing at run-time (EventSystem::getInfo). This allowed us to visualize currently playing audio events within our 3d game world. I was not able to find a way to do this with the Studio API. Is it possible?

I’m going to set that up for now but still holding out that there’s a simpler solution. Would love to hear a response if there is 🙂
