Reference > Opaque types

Opaque types are types whose behavior is controlled completely by system functions and you have no direct access to them. Variables that refer to "physical" widgets and plugin blocks instances of opaque types. Some opaque data types do not have any "physical" existence. These include function generators, the NoteTracker and the ChordRecognizer types. Over time, as new functionality is added to Gig Performer, more opaque data types are likely to be added.

Note that not all types are available in all scripts
