Modulator level broadcaster

David Healey

So the situation I have is I want to take the value of a modulator (LFO or CC) and scale it using a table on the UI and pass the result to one of the macro parameters of a scriptnode effect.

The catch is I want one table per scriptnode parameter so I can't just use the modulator's single table.

Do you have a suggestion for the best way to achieve this?

Currently I'm polling the modulator, scaling the value with the table, and passing the value to the knob, but since this is in the UI thread it doesn't work when the plugin interface is not visible.

David Healey

Is there a broadcaster that can listen to a modulator's intensity (not talking about LFOs) but things like CC modulators?

I tried attachToModuleParameter but best I can do is get the defaultValue knob's value.

Christoph Hart

@d-healey Intensity is not a parameter but a property of the modulator base class, but I think I can add a special case to it so you can use attachToModuleParameter() (like I'm already doing with "Bypassed").

David Healey

@Christoph-Hart Yeah that would be great, thanks!

Was this ever added?

Christoph Hart

@d-healey Now it is.

I've also added the possibility to connect global cables directly to Global modulators as source and any module parameter as target, so you don't have to go through scriptnode anymore for this.

const var gm = Engine.getGlobalRoutingManager();
const var c = gm.getCable("Global LFO 1");

c.connectToGlobalModulator("LFO", true);
c.connectToModuleParameter("Simple Gain1", "Balance", {"MinValue": -25.0, "MaxValue": 25.0});

this opens up many new options of block-rate modulation of any parameter in HISE!

Whats "LFO" here- is it (for example) an LFO used in the Gain Modulation section of the Simple Gain fx?

Lindon

@Lindon --just go load the snippet lindon...

... lindon loads the snippet.....

Ohh..I see... cool

Lindon

@Lindon can I do this:

const var gm = Engine.getGlobalRoutingManager();
const var c = gm.getCable("Global LFO 1");

c.connectToGlobalModulator("LFO", true);
c.connectToModuleParameter("Simple Gain1", "Balance", {"MinValue": -25.0, "MaxValue": 25.0});
c.connectToModuleParameter("Simple Gain2", "Balance", {"MinValue": -25.0, "MaxValue": 25.0});

Christoph Hart

@Lindon Try it :)

I want to use the attachToModuleParameter to send the output intensity of the LFO to a knob. It looks to me though that I picked the wrong word when I said Intensity as this is of course the intensity slider, what I need is the output level.

Is there a way to get this with a broadcaster?

Christoph Hart

@d-healey is it a global mod?

DanH

@Christoph-Hart This is huge! Well done!

David Healey

@Christoph-Hart Yes

Christoph Hart

@d-healey then you can attach a global cable to the modulator and a broadcaster to the global cable.

David Healey

@Christoph-Hart Which attach function do I use to attach the broadcaster to the cable?

Also, any reason I shouldn't do it this way?

const var gm = Engine.getGlobalRoutingManager();
const var c = gm.getCable("Global LFO 1");

c.connectToGlobalModulator("LFO Modulator1", true);

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

c.registerCallback(function(value) {Knob1.setValue(value);}, false);

Christoph Hart

You just pass in the broadcaster into the registerCallback() function and then it will distribute it to its listeners:

const var rm = Engine.getGlobalRoutingManager();

const var lfo_cable = rm.getCable("LFO");
lfo_cable.connectToGlobalModulator("LFO Modulator1", true);

const var bc = Engine.createBroadcaster({
	"id": "Mod Output",
	"args": ["value"]
});

// Use the broadcaster instead of a function
lfo_cable.registerCallback(bc, AsyncNotification);


bc.addListener("", "logger", function(value)
{
	//Console.print(value);
});

Whether you want a broadcaster or directly use a function is up to your project layout, but using a broadcaster will get you more flexibility.

Christoph Hart

@Christoph-Hart And if you want to connect it to a knob, you even don't need to script that, but let the addComponentValueListener() function do its job:

bc.addComponentValueListener("Knob1", "direct link", "");
