Unable to Move UI Knob Directly — Only via Macro 1

[the red_1]

Hi everyone,

I created a knob in the UI and linked it to script FX1, specifically to a hseq knob inside the script that is connected to an SVF EQ node. Then I linked Macro 1 to the knob in the interface, and it works well — it jumps between frequencies in 6 steps, similar to a Stepped Frequency Knob.

However, the knob in the UI interface appears faded compared to the other normal knobs, and I can’t move it directly — it only moves through Macro 1, like in the video. ️

Also, I don’t want to write code because I don’t understand C++ or Java.

My question:
Why can’t I move the knob in the interface directly?

Thanks in advance for any help!

You're in luck, HISE uses HISE Script and it's much easier to learn than C++ or Java :)

Don't connect the knob via the macro edit button like that. Use the macro assignment in the property editor instead.

Here's an example

@David-Healey
Thanks for the suggestion, but when I assign Macro 1 in the property editor, the UI knob still doesn’t move.
Also, the Macro itself only goes from 0 to 6 instead of 0–127 because in the property editor I set Max = 6, Min = 0, and 7 steps (FPS), so the macro and knob ranges don’t match the full 0–127 range expected for a macro control in HISE

Also, I have another knob in the UI that is set to 128 FPS, but I set Step Size = 1, Max = 6 and Min = 0 for it. It does rotate, but the steps and angles aren’t accurate — the increments feel uneven and the knob doesn’t feel precise when turning, likely because the UI control range doesn’t line up with the macro’s expected 0–127 range.

Lastly, I don’t want to use HISE Script for this because the DSP part doesn’t work for me or seems broken — it still fails even after building the latest HISE Dev version. I’m avoiding scripting because I can’t get the DSP network working reliably,

@the-red_1 Macros have a range of 0 - 127 so your knobs must use that range. Did you check the snippet i posted?
