Also try to avoid calling panel:getModulatorByName() at runtime, this is the biggest mistake people make, in situation where you have hundreds or thousands of modulators in the panel (those static ones count too) Ctrlr needs to go through the table to find the one you want.
If you are done with designing your panel you can type somewhere in the init method for a panel
OK, this seems like really good advice, so I have given it a go. But now I am getting “Callback errors” on panel launch. Seems that the other methods are not aware of the ‘init method’ and are giving “nil values”.
Init is in the ‘Called when the panel has finished loading’ panel field and goes like this (shortened for this example):
function init()
AftertouchEnv1toDCO = panel:getCombo("Aftertouch Env 1 to DCO")
AftertouchLFO1toDCO = panel:getCombo("Aftertouch LFO 1 to DCO")
AllSoundOff = panel:getButton("All Sound Off")
BankDisplay = panel:getLCDLabel("Bank Display")
Env1Attack = panel:getSlider("Env 1 Attack")
PitchBendtoDCOPitch = panel:getCombo("Pitch Bend to DCO Pitch")
end
One of the methods that fails is this:
benderDCOpitchMessage = function(mod, value)
comboValue = PitchBendtoDCOPitch:getModulatorValue()
if comboValue == 00 then
mySysex = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x60, 0x01, 0x00, 0xb0, 0x23, 0x00, 0xF7})
panel:sendMidiMessageNow(mySysex)
elseif comboValue == 01 then
mySysex = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x60, 0x01, 0x00, 0xb0, 0x23, 0x20, 0xF7})
panel:sendMidiMessageNow(mySysex)
elseif comboValue == 02 then
mySysex = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x60, 0x01, 0x00, 0xb0, 0x23, 0x40, 0xF7})
panel:sendMidiMessageNow(mySysex)
elseif comboValue == 03 then
mySysex = CtrlrMidiMessage({0xF0, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x7F, 0x60, 0x01, 0x00, 0xb0, 0x23, 0x60, 0xF7})
panel:sendMidiMessageNow(mySysex)
end
end
I also tried:
comboValue = PitchBendtoDCOPitch:getProperty()
