Hello The World !
Well…
About uiLCDLabel or uiLabel…
I would like to use LCDLabel or Label to simulate somes LCD screens to show what modulator I’m using (with value)…
Is it possible to have many LCDLabel or Label i.e : 1 LCDLabel for Analogic parts, 1 for Digital parts… one for Patches etc…
I have tried to put LCDLabel into a group thinking it will set up only group infos but… no !
I have tried to link the 2 objetcs but it seems not to work or I make a mistake somewhere
I’m lacking of LUA syntaxes… and Icannot find how to do even if I’ve an idea.
(is there such a dictionnary with syntaxes for CTRLR ?)A thing like this : this modulator is linked only with this uiLCDLabel and set up only infos from it…
Have a nice day,
Xavier-Joseph from Reunion Island…
I think for this you have to make a Lua script. Unfortunately there is no dictionnary for syntaxes. Ctrlr is based on the Juce libraries but this probably won’t help you much in this case: https://www.juce.com/doc/classes.
I will put something together this evening when I am not too tired.
That’s how I would do it (see attached panel). It selects the display according to the “custom index group” of the slider/button. Is this what you wanted?
I added a timer that will clear the display after a while. You can delete this part if you don’t think it is useful.
Hi Possemo,
You’re great !
I’ve tested and it’s very good.. just what I thought !
The timer it’s very interesting…
I’ve learn many things with your job.
– you can put a custom group without necessity to include into a group object !
– how to link and distinguish some modulators.Well , I’m very happy because on each sample of you, you teach me plenty of things…
Thanks so much !
Have a nice day,
Xavier-Joseph from Reunion Island,
all I know about Ctrlr I learned from other people, from the demo panels and from panels from other people. I’m happy to give something back. The Ctrlr implementation of Lua is really great, there are virtually no limits. There are many ways how to accomplish a task, e.g. you could have done it much simpler, without if-statements making 3 scripts instead.
Hello the World !
I havbe another question about this routine :
If I want to show the uiListBoxContent as a value.
I have tried but I have an error : attempt to concatenate local ‘uiListBoxContent’ (a nil value)My goal is to show in my uiLabel names of the uiListBoxContent of my uiListBox instead of numbers !
I understand the problem CTRLR waits a number and I want to show alphabetical words.
I have tried this :
group = mod:getPropertyInt(“modulatorCustomIndexGroup”)
modulatorName = mod:getProperty(“name”)
displayThis = modulatorName.. ” : “.. uiListBoxContent
if group==63 then
panel:getComponent(“DOSC1ShapeScr-1”):setProperty(“uiLabelText”,displayThis,false)
I have tried other possibilities but the problem is the same.
If you have an idea ?
Thanks a lot,
Xavier-Joseph from the other part of the world !
If you want to get the uiListBoxContent you have to do it like this:
Listbox = mod:getProperty(“uiListBoxContent”)
But this will give you all of the uiListBoxContent. If you want the selected value only there is no other way than doing it by if statements:
if value == 0 then Listbox=”some Text”
etc…Hi,
I don’t understand how you did it. This is interesting, can you post the whole code here?Ok Possemo…
Before I explain to you :
In the JD-XA we have, in the Digital parts, some Analogic waveforms and 450 digital waveforms.
I have a slider that show the 6 first analogic waveforms.
After, you must press a button (450 time if you want to go to the last).In my editor I have put all the 463 (450 digital + 13 analogic) in a uiListBox like that you can choose more easily.
But, the 6 first are selected from the special slider and I have set up on a special uiLabel.
I have made the others digital waveforms and put into uiListBox but I would like they were shown also into the same uiLabel.
The problem is to do these digital waveforms I have typed 3 x 463 sysex adresses and the only routine I know, I have learn by you, it was to put enter all the 1389 adresses my new routine and it was very very boring and long !
So, I was looking for an unique routine that could show the uiListBoxContent.
It’s more easy to modify my 12 uiListBox with only 1 routine than intercale 463 times the new routine.I prepare an example and post it soon…
See you later,
Xavier-Joseph from my lovely, pretty tropical island…
Possemo,
Do you know if it’s possible to have the same result with an uiImageButton than with a uiButton ?
In the uiButton, I can put in toggle position and send only 1 value, but I cannot do that with my uiImageButton (I have put the same value. It’s working but it’s not direct (it lights off before lights on, so I have to press 4 times sometimes !)
I have try also in Momentary position, but it’s not working !
Is the code from Goodweather not working? I haven’t looked into it but I guess this would be the way to go. As you will have to calc a checksum anyway there is no point in typing all addresses. I may be wrong, I don’t exactly know what you are doing.
As for the Button, I have never used ImageButtons, so I have no idea on this…
Well,
To reach Digital Waveforms you have to send 3 different syssex adresses.
there are 4 digital parts with for each part, 3 partials.
So, you have 12 different choices.I have made 12 uiListBox (with the 463 waveforms into each one) and as you have 3 adresses per waveforms you have 469*3 sysex adresses.
Only one adress it’s not working because to reach these waveforms you have to press the “Select” button for the Digital part you want to modify( there are 4 digital parts) + press the select button for the partial you want to modify (you have 3 partials per part) + pass the 5 first analogic waveforms (or press a button named “VARIATION” and after, you can select the waveform you want.
The JD-XA expects 3 sysex adresses for 1 digital waveform.
I’ve just found a less heavy solution and more easy to do… I send only 1 time the 2 same sysex( in the midi content with Sysex, Direct…. and I make a LUA routine for the others 463 different sysex adresses ! It’s more light to treat and CTRLR acts very quicly.
Hmm, if you really have to send 3 different sysex messages to change the digital waveforms, then the Roland midi implementation chart is wrong. It tells sending one sysex message, example by Roland:
Setting Reverb Type of Program to Room 2 (DT1)
According to the Parameter Address Map (p. 8), the start address
of Temporary Program is 18 00 00 00H, the offset address of Reverb at
Program is 02 00H, and the address of Reverb Type is 00 00H. Therefore
the address of Reverb Type is;
18 00 00 00H
02 00H
+) 00 00H18 00 02 00H
Room 2 has the value of 02H.
So the system exclusive message should be sent is;
F0 41 10 00 00 00 0F 12 18 00 02 00 02 ?? F7
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) address data checksum (6)
(1) Exclusive Status (2) ID (Roland) (3) Device ID (17)
(4) Model ID (JD-XA) (5) Command ID (DT1)
(6) End of ExclusiveYes there are 3 addresses, but they are put together in one message. 18 00 00 00H and 02 00H and 00 00H results in message-part 18 00 02 00H.
Furthermore I don’t think that you have to push buttons on the synth to get sysex working. It may be that on a particular patch the sysex edit has no effect on the sound because e.g. the digital section is not enabled but it will change the value anyway. That is if you got a correct checksum – otherwise the synth won’t do anything.
But this is all theory. I’ve seen Midi implementation charts with lots of wrong information. If this is true on the JD-XA I think it will be impossible to get it right as it is by far too complex for reverse engineering.
I show you an example to reach the first analogic (digital) waveform for the partial 1 of the part 1 :
it’s named : SAW-A
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 00 00 45 f7
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 01 00 44 f7
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 35 00 00 00 00 10 f7to reach the 11 analogic (digital) waveform named : SAW-C :
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 00 00 45 f7
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 01 02 42 f7
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 35 00 00 00 00 10 f7now the Digital waveform 001 (the first real Digital one) :
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 00 07 3e f7
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 01 00 44 f7
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 35 00 00 00 01 0f f7]Another example :
To reach the part or partial button… you have to send the ON sysex adress of the button and the OFF button adress of the last used button.
So you have 12 possibilities because you have 4 buttons :
S1 to S2,
S1 to S3,
S1 to S4,
S2 to S1,
S2 to S3,
S2 to S4,
S3 to S1,
S3 to S2,
S3 to S4,
S4 to S1,
S4 to S2,
S4 to S3I have tried to do differently but nothing is working !
So I decided to send the ON and OFF for each button but the JD-XA don’t do really that ! Once you have pressed a Select button (a blue one) you cannot lights off by itself… this is the second button you press is lights off…
Also, you cannot have all the Select buttons ON because JD-XA don’t know in wich part or partial you want to work !
So my solution was with the famous routine where I have used the same VST Index, do you remember, to light off the other button when I press another but I can also ON and OFF by itself…
In my first example I forgot the “Temporary SuperNATURAL Synth Tone” part of the address. So maybe Goodweather forgot it too and maybe that’s why his code is not working. This is how it should look like when the documentation is correct. I’m not 100% sure on the modulo though:
Temporary Tone (Digital Part 1): 1a 00 00 00
Temporary SuperNATURAL Synth Tone: 01 00 00
SuperNATURAL Synth Tone Partial (1): 00 20 00
SuperNATURAL Synth Tone Partial Wave Number: 00 35
Result: 1a 01 20 35
sysex message for wave 1: f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 35 00 00 00 01 Checksum f7
Checksum:
sum: 26+1+32+54+0+0+0+1=114
114 mod 128 = 114
checksum = 128 – 114 = 14
checksum in hex = 0e
complete sysex message including checksum. This is the only message needed to change Digital Part 1, SN Synth Tone Partial 1 to wave number 1:
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 35 00 00 00 01 0e f7
Note that for every waveform the checksum will be different. If this is not working the documentation is bollocks.
Ok, thanks for your information…
Tomorrow I’m going to test because it’s late now…Have a good night with plenty of sweet dreams…
Well, I’m tried and nothing appears… I could not wait until tomorrow !!!!
The adress I use to reach the Digital part 1, partial 1, digital waveform 1 is
f0 41 10 00 00 00 0f 12 1a 01 20 35 00 00 00 01 0F f7
Only the cheksum is different… cheksum 0E is for the second waveform.
