Matrix Modulation Feedback

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH no it's unfortunately not an easy change because this component was designed with the hover state behavior in mind:

• it's exclusive so it will only show a single component (when you hover over another slider it will hide the previous one)
• there's no logic to check for collision
• since it is built / destroyed at hover / exit I don't need to care about it being synchronized to the data model to react on connection changes etc.

For a persistent UI component that shows the matrix connections of a single UI knob you might be able to use the matrix floating tile - if you set its ProcessorId to the ID of the matrix modulator you're targeting, it will only show the connections that match the target and with some CSSing you can shovel away all the things you don't want to show.

I guess this would negate the benefit of the source selection callback, to show only the selected modulation dragers?

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart With the Source Select callback the default selection seems to be the first modulator in the list. Is there a way to script this to a different one?

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH I don't understand - what's got the selection callback have to do with it?

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart well for example I'm showing the relevant tabs depending on which source is selected but when I reopen the project it defaults to the first in the list and displays that tab and that button is highlighted.

or are you referring to my other question?

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH yes I meant the previous question.

With the Source Select callback the default selection seems to be the first modulator in the list. Is there a way to script this to a different one?

Can't you just call

ScriptModulationMatrix.setCurrentlySelectedSource(String sourceId)

with an empty string?

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart Thanks, will try. (worked great )

So for the persistent UI modulation dragger - The source selection callback can show only the draggers relevant to the selection. If we create permanent ui controls we'd lose the current system of showing / hiding the draggers depending on the selection.

Can't you use the callback to hide the controls?

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart yeah. I dunno, If I have 100 controls that can be a target do I then need to make (100 x each source) draggers and show / hide them with the callback? Apologies if I'm being dumb about this!

[DanH]

A suggestion: would it make sense to switch the mouse cursor to up / down arrows when hovering on a modulation dragger?
