Macro Control for ScriptNode

[toxonic]

@Christoph-Hart Hmm, okay, then this is not an option, since i need to compile the nodes in order to use them like slot fx in hardcoded master fx. :(

@toxonic But then you will not be able to use macros too even if at some glorious day in the future it might be added (spoiler alert: it won't).

You need to think of compiled networks as black boxes with no outside connections except for the parameters and external data slots.

@Christoph-Hart Ah, okay, i see! :-) Well, i think, I'll find another solution.
I have several Faust effects, that depend on the Tempo from the DAW and which should be dynamically loaded into Hardcoded Master FX slots.
But i guess, I can figure out, how to assign the "bpm" knobs of the FX dynamical to the Transport Handler tempoChange function....

[toxonic]

As it seems, I don't get it working...
I can't figure out, why I am not able to pass a component (knob, ...) to an inline function.
I seem to have a deep misunderstanding of what's going on there.
Can someone help, please?

const var Knob1 = Content.getComponent("Knob1");

const TH = Engine.createTransportHandler();

inline function tempoChange(newTempo) // <-- trying inline function tempoChange(component, newTempo) doesn't work...
{
	//component.setValue(newTempo);
}

TH.setOnTempoChange(SyncNotification, tempoChange);```

EDIT: OOOOPS --- this is NOT WORKING!

Okay, sorry... figured it out! :-)

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 500);
const var Tempo = [Content.getComponent("Knob4"),
                   Content.getComponent("Knob3"),
                   Content.getComponent("Knob2"),
                   Content.getComponent("Knob1")];

const var th = Engine.createTransportHandler();

for (x in Tempo)
{
	th.setOnTempoChange(false, function(newTempo)
	{
	    x.set("text", newTempo + " BPM");
	});
}�

@toxonic said in Macro Control for ScriptNode:

 for (x in Tempo)
 {
 	th.setOnTempoChange(false, function(newTempo)
 	{
 	    x.set("text", newTempo + " BPM");
 	});
}

You only have one th variable, so setting it's callback multiple times (as you are doing in your loop) does not make sense.

I also don't think x will be available inside the callback function.

@d-healey Yeah, i don't know, what was wrong with me....
Maybe you have an idea?

[d.healey]

@toxonic Your first idea looked correct, just use a function instead of an inline function.

[toxonic]

@d-healey But won't I need to use an inline function for realtime?
What about using the loop inside the function? It seems to work, uh?

Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 500);
const var Tempo = [Content.getComponent("Knob4"),
                   Content.getComponent("Knob3"),
                   Content.getComponent("Knob2"),
                   Content.getComponent("Knob1")];

const var th = Engine.createTransportHandler();

th.setOnTempoChange(false, function(newTempo)
{
	for (x in Tempo) x.setValue(newTempo);
});

No, and also your UI script should be deferred (non-realtime) anyway. I think all callback functions (except control callbacks) are non-inline.

Yeah a loop inside the function is fine. You might want to reverse the order of controls in your array, it seems strange that element 3 is knob 1, but it won't affect the functionality.
