SetModulatorValue and other commands

[sparkytupp]

Hi

I’ve been wanting to start programming ctrlr to make my own panels, and would like to know if there is a reference source that tells me how to use the ctrlr specific commands/methods e.g

setModulatorValue
getModulatorByName

specificially the boolean options that can occur later

Thanks

Mark

but it’s a difficult read!

There is a manual written by Goodweather.

• panel:getModulatorByName(“my_vco”):getModulatorValue() will get the value of a modulator
• panel:getModulatorByName(“my_vco”):setModulatorValue(value,false,true,false) (I think) will set the value of a modulator and run any callback function attached.
• panel:getModulatorByName(“my_vco”):setModulatorValue(value,false,false,false) shouldn’t fire the callback function attached.
  *But I found setModulatorValue() to be less reliable than:
• panel:getModulatorByName(“my_vco”):getComponent():setValue(value,false) shouldn’t fire the callback function.
• panel:getModulatorByName(“my_vco”):getComponent():setValue(value,false) should fire the callback function.
• There is also panel:getModulatorByName(“my_vco”):getValueMapped()
  which will return non sequential values in say a combo box or uiFixedSlider, so if you had in a comboBox:
  LFO=0
  VCO=5
  VCF=17
  if user selected VCF, getValueMapped would return 17 – getValue will return 2

Also read the excellent post here https://ctrlr.org/forums/topic/setvalue-or-setmodulatorvalue/ by Possemo.

That’s fantastic, thanks a lot. I’m an electronic engineer by trade, so I have read through many specifications and have had many difficult reads so should be OK 🙂

Thanks
