Can't change Slider style

Jay

@staiff I try it and it didn't work for me

staiff

Wheels example:

i used a simple basic Wheel .png sequence made in knobman. You will have to replace it by a better looking png sequence.

The white panel is not useful for the wheels, just added to create a light grey background.

Enjoy.

@staiff thanks bud

Starting to understand this I think (I hope). One thing I'm not clear on though if anyone could explain, I've put the code I'm using below, it's from the example you gave @staiff. I get the level, all is good, but I don't understand the line:
vumeter.getCurrentLevel(vumeter.LimiterReduction);
Any chance someone could explain that to me? Why if I change LimiterReduction does it not work? Why is it linked to the limiters reduction, or attack or compressor reduction etc.? The meter is responding to the current level or peak, so don't understand why it's working if I use say .CompressorAttack? Or is there a line I can replace it with?
Sorry for the idiot questions! Getting there slowly...

I've put the code below with comments on everything incase anyone else is trying to understand how to move through it. Swapping for a filmstrip is relatively straight forward I think from here.

const var vumeter = Synth.getEffect("Dynamics1");
//name of constant variable we want 'vumeter' = point it to the module (effect in this case) labelled Dynamics1									

const var level = Content.getComponent("level1"); 
//name of constant variable we to see 'level' = point it to the widget (slider) labelled level1


const var t = Engine.createTimerObject();
//create a constant variable labelled 't' = a timer object

t.setTimerCallback(function()
// triggers the timer below

{
	var v = vumeter.getCurrentLevel("VU METER");


v = Engine.getDecibelsForGainFactor(v);


level.setValue(v);
// variable 'level' is set to the value of variable 'v'

});

t.startTimer(30);
//triggered by the setTimerCallback function

edit: ok, that's just me being an idiot , changed it to just a label ("VU METER") and it's working. Have changed the script above! Hopefully someone finds it helpful...

Managed to get this all working. Put a link below to a project showing how to do it. Hope it helps someone out...

Does anyone know what the best way to make the fall of the meter back to 0 smoother? Is that to do with timer objects?

You need to filter the value you show. Pseudocode:

If newLevel > oldlevel
Then level = newLevel
Else level = level * 0.97

The number something between 0.8 and 1.0 determines the fall-off speed.

@duno Hey mate, I was wondering if you could please repost the example project of the meter? Maybe on Google Drive so that it doesn't expire?

Thanks very much!

Hey man, it's pretty much the same as the one below...

To change the slider for filmstrips, select the slider, either on the unlocked interface, or in the component list, it should highlight, then on the right hand side in the properties list, scroll down and you'll see and option saying filmstripimage, it's kind of scrunched up. Outside of hise, drag the filmstrip you want to use into the images folder in your project folder, then go back to that properties list in Hise, and open the filmstrip. Then below tell it how many steps its got. It's the option right below filmstrip in the properties. Should work then.

On Christophs example he posted, change the name of the main container on the main page to say Master Chain

edit - in your project, the sampler you've got called kick, that's the string name in the variable. On Christophs example it's Master Chain, so just change the name in that variable. You need to change Synth.getChildSynth, for synth.getSampler too. If you hit esc as your writing, you'll see an autofill similar to sublime.

@duno Thanks a lot. I appreciate the explanation. I will give it a shot and see how I go :)
