Automatic limit keys on keyboard (floatTile)

[Gabriel Strozi]

Hello HISE Community!
I want to make my keyboard looks like that below, showing the notes outside the sampler range with black shadow:

I managed to use panels to do that, like this:

But it is not efficient at all. There are any way to make it easily?

Thanks in advance!

@Gabriel-Strozi There are functions to set the color of individual keys, check the api docs

[Gabriel Strozi]

The problem is that I don't even know what API is

Could you give me more info about this way to go, please? How do I use those functions? Where can I find those functions?

I'm learning a lot of new concepts of programming with this project. I really appreciate if you could give more info!

Thanks!

Would it be the Engine.setKeyColour() ?

[Gabriel Strozi]

I managed Engine.setKeyColour() to work by clicking a button.

I'm thinking of creating a loop to check what key have samples loaded, using Sampler.isNoteNumberMapped(). You think it is a good way?

[Gabriel Strozi]

I found the way!
On load sample map function I called:

 for (i = 0; i < 128; i++)
        {
            Console.print(i);
            var x = Instrumento.isNoteNumberMapped(i);
            if (x == 1)
            {
                Engine.setKeyColour(i, 0x00000000);
            }
            else
                Engine.setKeyColour(i, 0x90000000);
        }

I'm really happy that I figured out by myself how to do that, of course you some footprints you gave me @d-healey !

Thanks you so much!

@Gabriel-Strozi just to give a hint on scripting basics (but I strongly suggest you watch @d-healey videos)

This

for (i = 0; i < 128; i++)
{
    var x = Instrumento.isNoteNumberMapped(i);

    if (x == 1)
    {
        Engine.setKeyColour(i, 0x00000000);
    }
    else
        Engine.setKeyColour(i, 0x90000000);
}

Since the variable xis boolean, can be replaced directly

for (i = 0; i < 128; i++)
{
    if  (Instrumento.isNoteNumberMapped(i))
        Engine.setKeyColour(i, 0x00000000);
    else
        Engine.setKeyColour(i, 0x90000000);
}

You could also have set the colour with a ternary operator:

for (i = 0; i < 128; i++)
{
    var colour = Instrumento.isNoteNumberMapped(i) ? 0x00000000 : 0x90000000; 
    Engine.setKeyColour(i, colour);
}

And the whole thing can be replaced:

for (i = 0; i < 128; i++)
{
    Engine.setKeyColour(i, Instrumento.isNoteNumberMapped(i) ? 0x00000000 : 0x90000000);
}

@ustk Wowwwww! Just blowed my mind! hahaha
Thank so much for the hints! It makes much more clean and sustainable code!
I'll replace a lot of lines that I wrote with this kind of scripting structure.

And yes, I'm watching all the @d-healey videos on replay hahah
