@dustbro Add this to the HISE documentation - https://github.com/christophhart/hise_documentation

Excellent, trying this.

Questions

1. How can I tweak ballistics ?
2. How can I make a meter from input and output ?

thanks !!

How can I tweak ballistics ?

try tweaking the "middle position" setting

[lalalandsynth]

I am testing this again , just using a simple gray strip .
I am rendering the strip at double size , and using 0.5 scale factor , it always works when I am changing the scale factor but as soon as I compile in HISE it goes back to the "Default" or rather the setting in the property editor and the filmstrip does not show ?

@lalalandsynth
Change Style To Knob :)

[lalalandsynth]

@Natanr heheheh, always....always something silly.

[Natan]

@lalalandsynth No Problem :)

@dustbro This is fantastic, Thank you for posting this. Ive been following along with this but i seem to have an issue with the VU filmstrip displaying properly. I wondered if there is a setting i have missed and should be using.

@Glyn make sure to set the slider to dB.

@lalalandsynth Hi Thanks for the advice. I have checked that it is set to decibels but nothing changed. So I thought ide give another film strip i had a go and found that it displayed properly although it seems to work back to front. When no signal is passing through it reads flat out in the red. Thanks for your help though. Its very much appreciated.

@Glyn Then the filmstrip is reversed I would assume ?

Hey folks, thought I would necro this rather than start a new thread. I'm trying to set up a dB meter using a film strip. I got to this part of the script using the guide above, but I don't see which parameter to connect for step #6

const var SimpleGain1 = Synth.getEffect("Simple Gain1");

const var Knob3 = Content.getComponent("Knob3");

const var t = Engine.createTimerObject();

t.setTimerCallback(function()
{
	var leftin = SimpleGain1.getAttribute(SimpleGain1.)

});

@ccbl Use the peak meter floating tile instead of this old timer method.

@d-healey this one? https://docs.hise.dev/tutorials/ui/index.html#peak-meter-laf-with-filmstrip-image

[ulrik]

@ccbl I think David means this one, a floating tile with Content set to "MatrixPeakMeter"

[ccbl]

@ulrik thanks. I figured out how to create the tile, but I'm having a bit of trouble with the film strip behaviour. In the example project I linked above I can get the script to recognise my filmstrip png, but in my own project the same code does not display the image.

I'm also having a bit of trouble with coding the behaviour. I created a 12 segment LED style meter, with 25 frames. Frame 0 is every LED "OFF" then there are progressive frames with each LED going half brightness to full etc. I want the first x frames to scale to say -18dbfs or -12dbfs and then the final y frames to scale up to 0dbfs. But it would be nice if it was easy to adjust that point based on the project.
