@prehm said in how to get the areas of a floating tile keyboard into an array:

I have my logic in place and working

So I assume you have an array that contains the low note and high note of your playable range?

What you need to do is loop over all of the MIDI notes (0 - 127) and set them to your neutral colour.

Within the same loop you check if the MIDI number is within the range that's in your array, and if it is you set that to your active colour.

Then inside your look and feel function you can just grab the key colour from obj and draw the key. None of the functional stuff needs to go inside the laf.

@d-healey
Thanks, your advice is much appreciated.
So far everything works just fine and I was surprised to find that all the calculations that my script does for every note on take less than half a millisecond at a buffer size of 128, which is great. My first attempt in pure data was unusable in terms of latency..
I’ve started using namespaces and external script files to keep everything nice and tidy, thanks to your video on the topic.
There is a lot more stuff for me to learn but it’s very exciting to know that I have all the tools I need to make it real.
Cheers!

@Lindon Im avoiding work.....

@Chazrox Getting there!

@tomekslesicki This might help - https://github.com/christophhart/hise_documentation/blob/master/scripting/scripting-api/scriptpanel/setconsumedkeypresses.md

@rglides Solved!

const var SAVE = Content.getComponent("SAVE"); const var LOAD = Content.getComponent("LOAD"); inline function onSAVEControl(component, value) { if (value) { local reverbData = { "OSC1_Reverb_Width": knb_OSC1_Reverb_Width.getValue() }; Engine.dumpAsJSON(reverbData, "reverb_settings.json"); } }; Content.getComponent("SAVE").setControlCallback(onSAVEControl); inline function onLOADControl(component, value) { if (value) { local loadReverb = Engine.loadFromJSON("reverb_settings.json"); if (loadedData != undefined) { if (loadReverb.OSC1_Reverb_Width != undefined) { knb_OSC1_Reverb_Width.setValue(loadReverb.OSC1_Reverb_Width); knb_OSC1_Reverb_Width.changed(); } } } }; Content.getComponent("LOAD").setControlCallback(onLOADControl);

@d-healey Clever! Thank you!

@d-healey They are now in the docs: https://docs.hise.audio/scripting/scripting-api/scriptpanel/index.html#setmousecursor

@HISEnberg Sure

Ah you found it first :)

@Christoph-Hart yup. But I really just wanna compile my C++ node with 60 parameters and toss it in a hardcoded FX 😀

@d-healey @d-healey said in Sliders not responding to "Consumed" MIDI CCs:

setCustomAutomation

Now that I've had a bit more time, there are a number of hurdles with using this method.

Issues Encountered

MIDI Learn disappears
The "MIDI Learn" option no longer appears in the right-click context menu of knobs — unless an automationId has been manually assigned in the Properties panel.

automationId overrides control callbacks
Assigning an automationId disables the knob's regular controlCallback, which is where most of my knob logic lives (e.g., updating processors, linked components, states, etc.).

Workaround via automation callback
You can attach a callback to a specific automation and call the original controlCallback logic from there — but this adds boilerplate and breaks modularity.

Avoiding feedback loops crashes HISE
Trying to assign a knob as the target of its own automation (to bypass issue #2) results in an infinite loop that crashes HISE.

Controller numbers don’t carry over
If you switch the automationId to a new target, the MIDI CC assignment doesn't carry over. It must be learned again manually — making it difficult to share CC control across multiple processors or targets.

🤕

@d-healey Good to know! I have a bunch of 'consts' in my 'onNoteOn's. Im going to change them now and hope nothing breaks. Thank You! 🙏

@d-healey yeah something like JSON.delete(obj, key) is the easiest way, the delete syntax would require a real brain-twister with the current parser.

If anyone ever needs to know...

This was ultimately solved with the help of the following!

@VirtualVirgin said in Midi-Out Messages?:

You would need to place the your piano roll script in a container on the next level down from your chord generator. Any MIDI that you generate will not be "seen" on that onNoteOn or onNoteOff callback, so you need a new container level to receive it as MIDI input.

@ulrik said in Midi-Out Messages?:

@Chazrox it is as @VirtualVirgin suggested, you need to read the out coming note ons and offs from a script one level below the script that generate the chord

Thank You! 🙏

@pcs800 👍

@Ben-Catman

I think you could just

reg x = yourKnob.getValue(); // declare x // then just use 'x'...

I think you can also

local x = yourKnob.getValue(); // from within your inline function... // then use 'x'...

@VirtualVirgin Little unrelated tip of the day:

mySliders.map(function(element){return element.getId();});

can also be written as

mySliders.map(element => element.getId());

@VirtualVirgin This worked best for me! Thank You! I got it working with my chord script perfectly. 🙏

Bingo:
Screenshot 2025-06-20 at 11.38.07 PM.png

The script:

for (i = 0; i < chord1.length; i++) { Engine.setKeyColour(i, NoKeyColour); Synth.addNoteOff(1, chord1[i] + 60 + Octave1 + Chord1Choice - 1, 0); } //THANK YOU!

@d-healey said in Just wondering about how this logic condition evaluates:

@VirtualVirgin said in Just wondering about how this logic condition evaluates:

Yes! That is the solution :)

You can probably also get rid of the ternary operator at the end - ? true : false because the statement itself should return true or false.

Yes, that makes sense. It is just evaluating to that anyway, so no need to make it redundant.
