Or even shorter...

// Don't do this, I'm being silly
for (k in Content.getAllComponents("knbVolume")) k.setControlCallback(onSampleVolumeKnobsControl);

I always thought there was "no guarantee of ordering" in getAllComponents.....

@Lindon I think it grabs them in the order they are in the component list. I never really thought about it though but I haven't ran into any issues.

[Lindon]

@d-healey yeah..maybe then , however your suggestion makes the callback difficult in that there is no indexOf(component) to show you which one is being called on...unless theres some fu I dont know about...oh I just noticed your "dont do this comment..>"....

[d.healey]

@Lindon I did put a disclaimer not to use it. :)

const TheGains = [];
const  SampleVolumeKnobs = [];

const NUM_COMPONENTS = 8;

for(i = 0; i< NUM_COMPONENTS; i++)
{
    TheGains[i] = Synth.getEffect("Simple Gain" + (i+1));

    SampleVolumeKnobs[i] = Content.getComponent("knbVolume" + (i+1));
    SampleVolumeKnobs[i].setControlCallback(onSampleVolumeKnobsControl);
}

@Chazrox ...and now your call back looks like this:

inline function onSampleVolumeKnobsControl(component, value)
{
	pos = SampleVolumeKnobs.indexOf(component);  //tells us which control is being called...
       TheGains[pos].setAttribute(TheGains[pos].Gain, value);
};

@Lindon Thank You Im gonna try this in a bit and get back to you. Appreciate it! Love the energy.

Yes, the components will be added in the order specified in the component list.

As for the index, I use a function that I call first in the callback and that returns the index. Something like this:

inline function getIndexAsInt(component)
{
	local index = component.getId().replace("knbVolume", "").getIntValue();
	return index;
}

inline function getIndexAsString(component)
{
	local index = component.getId().replace("knbVolume", "");
	return index;
}

The return value can then be used in the callback to determine the correct component....

If you are storing all your components in an array you can get the index directly using indexOf

Yes, that's right! Thanks for the tip! :-)
