couple catch-all questions

[msepsis]

-How can we get the value of a slider who’s Slider Style is "IncDecButtons"? The usual getModulatorValue and getValueMapped don’t seem to get the correct values.

-MIDI Program Manager – "get the data needed for a program request" – this description isn’t clear.. I assume this is where we put the code to send a dump of all the modulator parameter’s values to the synth, formatted as necessary for that particular synth’s sysex spec.I’ve had some strange luck with using this. I have a working "send current program from panel to synth" button that works w/o issue. I just made a Lua script that gathers all the paramter values of the panel, formats them to a proper program dump message to the synth – it works on a simple button, but not [i:35l0ci35]always[/i:35l0ci35] when I attach it to the "get data needed for a program request" selector in the Program Manager’s settings tab. I’ll be spending more time investigating this in the next few days. i still haven’t chased all the way down this hole.

-Noticing that when I open a panel in ctrlr, no matter what windows were open/closed the last time the panel was edited/used the modulator list and Lua script windows open. nice when working on a panel but not necessary and possibly confusing to users when a panel is complete and ready to just be used.

-finally, is it possible yet to tell a modulator to not display it’s value in a uiLabel that is set to display the value of the last changed modulator?

thanks, trying to wrap up these final loose ends.

– need to check
– this is not working, never finished it cause there were more important issues as always i wanted to do that but never finished it (it was to simplify and automate program dumps)
– that should go away with single instance exports all settings are cleared away (if not let me know i’ll clear them)
– nope i forgot about that, keep reminding me it’s a one liner

Hey Atom, just bumping up the first and last questions from this last post again,

[i:32tcsiin]-How can we get/send the value of a slider who’s Slider Style is "IncDecButtons"? The usual getModulatorValue and getValueMapped don’t seem to get the correct values.
-finally, is it possible yet to tell a modulator to not display it’s value in a uiLabel that is set to display the value of the last changed modulator?

that last one just as a reminder as you asked for one ” title=”Smile” />

The second one is done i just need to do a build.

I need to investigate the first one, but that’s for when i get back home.

Having the same problem with all of the last couple of versions. The modulator list window ALWAYS opens up when i load my panel, no matter what i do (e.g. close the modulator list window and then save the panel again). It also happens when i save the panel as standalone instance (.exe), same thing, modulator list window opens at startup – aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Maybe it’s possible to fix this manually by changing some value in the main panel script?

Oh and version 1102 doesn’t work at all on my win XP system. The mouse cursor isn’t shown properly and so I can’t really click or draw anything at all…
Version 1096 always crashes whenever I close my panel.
Version 1087 makes me quite happy tho, well if it weren’t for the bug with the evil modulator list window ” title=”Very Happy” />

Doesn’t work at all? Or you don’t get mouse cursors on panels created before 1102?
Fix to that mouse cursor issue has been posted here before, select all modulators in the mod list then change the cursor type from "none" to "normal". 1102 should work fine, just some added indices to the cursor types, for some weird reason Jules inserted new options at the beginning of the list, so anything that was previously set to normal got set to none.

Yeah there seems to be no current fix to the additional windows popping open though, DasFaker apparently has had success by closing any open scripts in the lua editor, then closing the lua editor and saving the panel but I still get the Lua editor and modulator list opening on top after opening a panel created in < 1102, so his trick isn’t workin here. ” title=”Neutral” />

Thanks for that info!

Yeah it was basically only the mouse cursor problem with 1102, I said "doesn’t work at all" because I couldn’t do anything at all. Thanks for pointing out the fix ” title=”Smile” />

And now that I know there’s no current fix for the modulator list window I can stop going crazy about it and wait for the next bugfix.

Cheers
