FX Modulation

[Christoph Hart]

They are exposed to the user (hence the name FrontendMacroPanel). It allows you to setup a fast modulation system that can be applied to any control on your interface.

Be aware that this doesn't support polyphony though (plus the update rate is once per block), so the "real" modulation slots in the modules yield a more accurate modulation.

[Casey Kolb]

This is very cool and actually might be really useful for the modulation system I'm trying to create in the engine I'm building.

Is there a way to add and remove these assignments via scripting?

1. Add a macro modulation source container
2. Call Engine.setFrontendMacros()
3. Populate the container with modulators, each slot will be a selectable modulation source
4. Right click and assign it to the macros
5. Edit the connections in the FrontendMacroPanel

@Christoph-Hart Thank you for this. This is amazing Literally just took my project from 60% complete to about 90%
I was using an outdated version. I compiled Hise today with the latest commit on my Mac & I see the example. :ok_hand_medium-light_skin_tone:
8 is the maximum??

[D.Williams23]

@Christoph-Hart This example has made me want to redo my whole modulation system. Thank you
I have a few questions. When I select a knob to add to a macro control knob, it works. If I go back to that knob and right click to try and remove it, it doesn't work. How do I fix this?
Also, how do I set knobs on the Front Interface to control the macros knobs? Like the behavior of the actual macros on the top, would be cool to have those included in the FrontEndMacrosPanel as well. Thats currently the only way I can remove the controls since right clicking doesn't work for me. I know it's probably obvious but this is my first time using this macro setup.
& Lastly, how can I save the Parameters of all into the preset?

@Christoph-Hart
This not work With Fx Plugins. Am i Right?

now I'm close to using this system - is there a way to change the colour of the assignment flag? - the little node that shows up next to the widget with a number in it to show which macro modulator is assigned to that control?

If not could we have a way?

[Natan]

@Lindon Lindon, Check This Thread

[DanH]

@Lindon I'm using the macro modulation system. It's not perfect but it does the trick for now :)
Make sure you're on the latest scriptnode as @Christoph-Hart just fixed a bug that meant the macro settings wouldn't save in your DAW project.

[Natan]

@DanH Dan, Is This Work With Plugins?
Or Just Instrumnets?

[DanH]

@Natan VSTs, not FX.

[d.healey]

@DanH So VSTis not VSTs :p

[Natan]

@DanH Yeah I Just Tried And Doesn't Work

[DanH]

@d-healey :police_officer:

[DanH]

@Natan what do you want to do with them?

[Natan]

@DanH Setting Up One Or Two lfos, And Modulate Almost Everything On The UI!!!

[Lindon]

@DanH tthanks I will update as I need it..

[Lindon]

OK, next question...

So I have a Macro Modulation Source set up as an LFO....

..and I have the LFO intensity set to 50%...

I apply it to a widget - and the widget moves BUT: ....

it moves from 100% to (about) 25% - which is odd I think....as my mental model says it should move between 100% and 50%....

What am I doing wrong?

Also ....how do I apply a negative offset to this LFO?

so I want it to move between 0% and 50%... I've tried a constant (and obviously I cant hae a negative value in a constant in any case..) but that either isnt working or when it is - is working in a very strange way....
