some items on properties panel – do what?

[msepsis]

I’m curious, what precisely do the following properties do:

Modulator does not react to value changes
Velocity mode
Keyboard trigger – velocity mode
Send MIDI from other members of the group
What’s the source type of the modulation

‘send midi from other members of the group’, see this reply of atom: property ‘Send MIDI from other members of the group’. I’m also curious to know about the other properties mentioned by you. All in all it is maybe time to start writing a manual or some tutorials, but otoh I find it in some way rewarding to discover myself how CTRLR works, especially in combination with Lua-scripting.

From memory…

Modulator does not react to value changes: If you set this modulator value from LUA (maybe from a midi messgae, too), the modulator will not change it’s value.

Velocity Mode: If you activate it, the movements you make with the mouse on this modulator respond to the velocity of the mouse movement. (If you drag slow, the modulator almost don’t change it’s value, but with a rapid mouse dragging the modulator moves normally).

I don’t know about the others.

Source type of modulation, refers to linking modulators, it defines the type of source, text/numeric. Numeric can affect values, text can affect contents of other modulators.

Is there any way to set modulators so they DO change values, but DO NOT send out their assigned message type when their value is changed by a lua script– and they do send their assigned value when the user rotates/slides/clicks the modulator?

@msepsis: I assume you solved this “problem”, but for other forum members with the same problem I will post (what I think is) the solution: setting the right parameters for the setModulatorValue statement. (Of course you have to use Lua.)

The Ctrlr source tells me:

setModulatorValue(const int newValue, bool vst, bool midi, bool ui)

Setting the value for ‘midi’ to false did the trick for me. I assume setting the value for ‘vst’ to false means also not sending the value to vst. The meaning of  the value for ‘ui’ is not clear for me, I saw no change in behavior.
