setModulatorValue() and friends

[dnaldoog]

I made a panel in order to try to understand the differences between the following methods see here::

It seems that every method triggers a function call in the receiving modulator (I only tested uiSlider) except those methods marked with a **.

panel:getModulatorByName(n):setModulatorValue(value,false,true,false)
panel:getModulatorByName(n):setModulatorValue(value,false,false,false)
panel:getModulatorByName(n):getComponent():setValue(value,true)
panel:getModulatorByName(n):getComponent():setValue(value,false)**
panel:getModulatorByName(n):setValue(value,true)
panel:getModulatorByName(n):setValue(value,false)
panel:getModulatorByName(n):setValue(value,true,true)
panel:getModulatorByName(n):setValue(value,false,false)
panel:getComponent(n):setValue(value,true)
panel:getComponent(n):setValue(value,false)**
panel:getModulatorByName(n):setValueNonMapped(value,true,true)
panel:getModulatorByName(n):setValueNonMapped(value,false,true)
panel:getModulatorByName(n):setValueNonMapped(value,true,false)
panel:getModulatorByName(n):setValueNonMapped(value,false,false)

Please find attached example panel below

Nice dnaldoog!

I myself am diving into the whole uiCustomComponent universe right now but the Graphics Class, although very powerful, is a bitch to be honest 😉
Have a great weekend guys!

Hi Proton,

The uiCustomComponent is very powerful. You could almost make a whole panel just using that component. Maybe rotating sliders would be difficult. I tried it once. Haven’t succeeded yet.

If you are interested in the graph side of things, my JD-990 and PLG-150-AN contain a lot of ‘graphics’ objects!

Hello Dnaldoog and Ctrlrs!

What does it means:

(value,false,true,false)
The first “value” is the value that you will get or set on modulator but false,true,false. What is false and true?
I´m using this all time but I don´t know why!
Thank you!

Hi Lecleto,

That’s what I don’t fully understand. Sometimes they do nothing (maybe)

Sometimes ‘true’ triggers a function or sending of MIDI in a triggered modulator; sometimes not. It’s still not clear to me which does which, so the panel above is a kind of work in progress.

There’s a very interesting post by Possemo, who is very clued up on all this, here:

Nice. Impressive graphics. I might borrow a trick or two from you 🙂

Thanks m-tarenskeen. Go for it!

@ lecleto
You can find info about the arguments of functions in
https://github.com/RomanKubiak/ctrlr/blob/master/Source/Core/CtrlrModulator/CtrlrModulator.h

Need a bit searching and is missing explanations but helps a bit…

UPDATE :: 10/05/2020

---

When a callback function is set in “Called when the modulator value changes”

When assigning incoming MIDI to the modulator – If the receiving incoming MIDI value is the same as the current Modulator Value then some functions do not trigger the callback function; see below.

Note that setValue(value,false) never triggers a callback function.

---

if the value is the same the function is not fired

panel:getModulatorByName(k):getComponent():setValue(value,true)
panel:getComponent(k):setValue(value,true)

Function is never fired

panel:getComponent(k):setValue(value,false)
panel:getModulatorByName(k):getComponent():setValue(value,false)

Function is always fired

panel:getModulatorByName(k):setValue(value,true)
panel:getModulatorByName(k):setModulatorValue(value,true,true,true)
panel:getModulatorByName(k):setModulatorValue(value,true,true,false)
panel:getModulatorByName(k):setModulatorValue(value,true,false,false)
panel:getModulatorByName(k):setModulatorValue(value,true,false,true)

panel:getModulatorByName(k):setModulatorValue(value,false,false,false)
panel:getModulatorByName(k):setModulatorValue(value,false,false,true)
panel:getModulatorByName(k):setModulatorValue(value,false,true,false)
panel:getModulatorByName(k):setModulatorValue(value,false,true,true)
