Simple gain knob

[ThinkTank]

I had quite a laugh when i tried to make a simple gain knob. It just seemed so simple, and still it gave me grief.

I set the min value of the knob to -100
Max value at 0

Selected Decibel, and connected it to my Sampler1 - Gain

Did not work, then i tried linear, and percentage, tried a ton of min/max values.

So, whats the solution? - its not particularly fun anymore..

@xxanx do you have an example of how you connected the knob? a snippet?

[ThinkTank]

@ulrik

Its not with scripting, i just selected ProcessorID (Sampler1), and ParameterId (Gain) in the knob settings.

@xxanx Ok, can you provide a snippet?

[d.healey]

@xxanx you need to add a simple gain module and connect your knob to its gain control.

@d-healey

So simple, and yet so confusing. But why?

[ThinkTank]

@d-healey I mean, i can control Balance, like that, so why not Gain?

[d.healey]

@xxanx The sampler's gain parameter doesn't use decibels, it uses a gain factor so you'd need to connect it via scripting and convert the knob's decibels to gain factor.

@xxanx said in Simple gain knob:

@d-healey

So simple, and yet so confusing. But why?

Because the gain of a sound generator is not smoothed to avoid cpu overhead with many modules.

@xxanx what do you mean it did not work? for me it works following your steps

here is the snippet (make sure you set the right middle position).

@Straticah He was trying to connect it directly to the sampler.

@d-healey ah got it i usually use the simple gain
