Good to know ;)

oops! That worked :)

It works for Knobs:

const var Knob1 = Content.getComponent("Knob1"); Knob1.setRange(-12, 1, 0.1); Knob1.set("saveInPreset", false); Knob1.setValue(-2.0); Console.print("Range: " + Knob1.getValue()); // -2 Console.print("Normalized: " + Knob1.getValueNormalized()); // 0.33

Haven't checked the other controls :)

I think it's a mistake in the API doc - it's created automatically by using the inheritance hierarchy of the C++ classes and this one might slipped in to the wrong place. Content.setPropertiesFromJSON() is definitely the go-to option.

However, the missing link might be a method like Control.getName() so you can call it without having to store the String name somewhere.

@cuttybang Sampler settings >> voice settings might do it.

@christoph-hart Going to build now :)

Well, you waited long enough :)

yes you can also doing that

copying in an external text file permit you to not opening the 1rst project each time you want to copy something; But only in the case you re-use a lot the same interface script. If just re-using it 1 time your solution is better

after running this snippet my preview got really small

@dark-boubou It doesn't load anything

Yes, that is correct. Be aware that the value starts with 1 (so in order to set it to the first item, call setValue(1);). Zero is reserved for no entry.

If you use the combobox for a control that's supposed to be stored in a preset (aka saveInPreset = true), you don't need to explicitely call this, just make sure you save the patch with the right value.

@christoph-hart if you have a chance play with equator, as on some presets with lots of release you will be able to hear it. (Alternatively just fire up your favourite midi monitor utility).

Would be good to confirm this behaviour, as your unit may be newer than mine. (Assuming it's hardware related- silent refresh etc)

@christoph-hart Ok, I think I understand a little bit, I will try to follow your suggestions. Thanks a lot!

@christoph-hart This works beautiful, I even made a compliment to this using 5 leds that lights up for each button, however I than had to make the ledStates with 5 columns instead of 4, and use:
"for(i = 0; i <5; i++)
{
Lamps[i].setValue(!value == 1 - lampStates[index][i]);
}
and it works fine.

Now to another question, I have 3 different states of the keyboard as well, and I want to set them with the same buttons as the samplers (I have key switches on some keys with coloured keys, and I want to show them and also the key range for that instrument, only in one of the buttons states.
Is there some tutorial or document around that I can study for this matter?

For my current project I've settled on the following design (which is kind of a modular view-model controller approach).

I have the "main" file which is a thin controller that brings the other files together and handles the callbacks. It also has a project wide namespace that all of the other files can access.

Then I have a bunch of smaller files each with its own namespace. I have a manifest file which is basically a large JSON object that holds various info for all of the different presets (in my case each preset is a different orchestral instrument with its own set of articulations, keyswitches, key ranges, etc.).

The next file is the theme file which holds all of the styling information for the UI. Having this in one file allows me to apply a different look to the whole UI by editing a single file.

Then I have a paintRoutines file which holds all of the various panel paint routines and SVG data - There are no images on my interface, it's all vectors.

The next file is the preset handler. The functions in here take the current preset name, look up the data for the preset in the Manifest file and applies the correct settings, loads sample maps etc.

Then I have the bulk of the scripts which is spread over six files. I have a header with all of its controls at the top of the UI, and a footer with all of its controls at the bottom of the UI. The next 3 files are for the main parts of the UI, an articulation handler, a mixer, and a CC handler. The last file is for a settings window. Each of these six files sets up its own view (GUI) and assigns callbacks for the controls, this is why I call them view-models. Some of them also have functions that can be called in the controller's onNote and onController callbacks.

Now although this seems like a lot of code the majority of those files have less than 100 lines and there is probably less than 1000 lines in total. I've chosen this approach because having a lot of specific files with a small amount of code in each allows me to very easily track down bugs, maintain my code, and reuse the code in other projects.

Of course you can use it in the function itself, just be cautious that you don't create cyclic references by doing something stupid :)

This parameter gets incredibly handy when you use one callback function for multiple controls:

const var buttons = []; for(i = 0; i < 128; i++) { buttons.push(Content.getComponent("button" + i); } inline function printMyIndex(component, value) { local index = buttons.indexOf(component); Console.print("You clicked button " + index); }; for(b in buttons) b.setControlCallback(printMyIndex);

I've been using this paradigm in literally every project I am working on since it heavily reduces boilerplate code. Although it comes with a slight performance overhead because it needs to look up the index in the array, so if it's a time critical function, better code it manually...
