using Rev 402, I can ctrl+c, ctrl+v, ctrl+x but delete on a macbook pro still does nothing.

however any kb combo on OSX gives the alert sound, hitting the spacebar to pan continues the alert sound as if a key is stuck… it’s kinda annoying…

I’m curious… I know JUCE is cross platform but it seems a bit flaky. Do you have a mac you are actively testing these revisions on?

I was playing around with knobman the other night on my pc.. out of town with my macbook pro, for now the default knobs are working fine for me just for now while I get things working.

far from finished but it’s going fast!

ok i can reproduce this consistently in rev 397:

basically i can not move a rotary knob with the arrow keys unless the rotary knob is set to display values.
If "ValuePosition" is set to "NoValue" the knob can not be moved with the arrow keys, period.

On a macpro, OS 10.6.7, ctrlr rev 397

while I’m here…
Also neither the delete or the backspace (actually still called delete) on the macPro delete components in 397
command/alt/ctrl+X does not cut (which was working in the last rev I tried)… copy/paste kb commands are likewise lost again.

Maybe one of these days I’ll get around to posting screenshots of the ctrlr I’m working on… right now it’s kinda like designing with boxing gloves on tho

Obviously I’d first start with installation

then describe the usage – the standalone vs vst version

Next give General overview of interface.. briefly define every button on the top, the workspace, the tabbed attribute window on the right (very generally)

Then give general overview of right click menu items – Add component, Edit and General

Next define the components and subcomponents (uiSlider>LinearHorizontal, LinearVertical, LinearBar, Rotary, etc etc)

Finally discuss exporting, saving, distributing our finished panels

Then list some resources on related items – LAU, JUCE etc.

additionally it seems no matter what the toggle button is aligned left… no way to get a label over to the left of it. I guess for now I think I’ll stick with labeling the GUI background unless there’s some solution to this.

Thanks

what I’m suggesting wouldn’t make the list any longer than it is actually… look again as I edited since you posted your reply. I think it makes a lot more sense.

this JUCE nomenclature is cheesy… "slider slider" and a "knob slider"??? really?
I don’t consider a knob a slider, i consider both knobs and sliders a type of controller though…
how about "slider controller" and "knob controller"?

I’d suggest the following organization/nomenclature… Overall i don’t think it’s very logical to add a uiSlider, then change the slider style to a slider in order to add an actual slider.
currently adding a uiSlider as is actually adds a rotary knob.

Maybe grouping like the following would help:

ctrlrKnobs
[list:18p1d2mn]rotary
vertical
horizontal
fixed[/list:u:18p1d2mn]
ctrlrSliders
[list:18p1d2mn]vertical
horizontal
fixed[/list:u:18p1d2mn]
ctrlrBars
[list:18p1d2mn]vertical
horizontal
fixed
[/list:u:18p1d2mn]

so a right click, add component would reveal: (with some further suggestions on naming take it or leave it):

Add Component:
ctrlrKnob (select rotary, vertical, horizontal or fixed in ctrlrStyle selector on far right, and move that selector to the very top of the list as it’s often used)
ctrlrSlider (select vertical, horizontal or fixed in ctrlrStyle selector on far right, and move that selector to the very top of the list as it’s often used)
ctrlrBar (select vertical, horizontal or fixed in ctrlrStyle selector on far right, and move that selector to the very top of the list as it’s often used)
uiComboBox
uiButtonToggle
uiButtonMulti
uiButtonImage
uiLabel
uiGroup
uiImage
uiMIDI
uiQUERTY
uiCustomComponent

ok. im running the latest 396 build of ctrlr… i can ctrl+x to cut at the very least now and also ctrl+c copies and ctrl+v pastes. I can live with that until the delete key works ” title=”Smile” />

Thanks atom, I’m sure there are LOTS and lots on your to-do list, but this app is amazing. I’ve been waiting for something like this for quite a long time. nice to see devs working to serve the outboard gear crowd instead of outboard gear emulation for once ” title=”Smile” />

Ok.. brainstorming on this. I think the challenge is to find a word that could imply both knob and fader – "controller" maybe?

uiController – can be switched in properties to either a fader or rotary knob and can be either horizontal or vertical….
thoughts??

I am not clear on what purpose the uiFixedSlider component serves??

Nice. You knocked one out for me. I just found ctrlr today and am just beginning a waldorf microwave XT panel. I was going to do one for the JP next ” title=”Smile” />
