If anyone is still looking for a solution that wont blow up computation times, I found this workaround using environment variables which will store values outside of the script context.

The if statement will define the Env-Variable at frame 0 and afterwards increase and use the variable each frame. Note that x could be any value. In my case it was an audio amplitude effect slider value.

if ($.myEnvVariable == null){
    $.myEnvVariable = 0
} 
// x = value from slider
$.myEnvVariable = $.myEnvVariable + x
$.myEnvVariable
