    What is the syntax for using "i" in a loop when referring to a numbered component?

      How do I use "i" to reference a numbered component in a loop?

      For example-
      If I have 12 components defined as "Key0" - "Key11", and I want to use .setValue() on each

      How do I word the "i" in the loop so that I can use the function on all 12,
      so the result would be:

      Key0.setValue();
      Key1.setValue();
      Key2.setValue();
      etc...
      ?

      I know the first part is:

      for (i = 0; i < 12; i++)

      but how do how place the "i" in context of the component name?

      I've tried things like

      Key + i.setValue();

      But that doesn't work.

        Make an array that contains all the buttons. Let's say you name the array "buttons".

        Then you can do this:

        for(b in buttons)
b.setValue();

          Thanks :)
          Can I make an array that contains arrays?

            I think you can do that. Just try it! :-)
            I am not at my Computer so I can't test it.

              You need to put your components into an array. Then you can use i (it doesn't have to be called i, that's just convention) to access elements in the array.

                So that works, but it still makes a big mess of code to do repetitive things:

                //Key components
const var OneOctaveKeyboard0 = [Content.getComponent("Key0"),
							 Content.getComponent("Key1"),
                             Content.getComponent("Key2"),
                             Content.getComponent("Key3"),
                             Content.getComponent("Key4"),
                             Content.getComponent("Key5"),
                             Content.getComponent("Key6"),
                             Content.getComponent("Key7"),

                             Content.getComponent("Key11")];

                Isn't there some way to make that more compact?
                It seems odd to me that the index in a loop can't apply to a component name number, as it forces the manual steps to at least get anything into an array.

                  I am not at my Computer so I can't test it.

                  Yes :) Making an array inside an array works.

                  To reference it then I just put use the index for the next level to the right of the first index, so here I have a nested loop which goes through two levels of the arrays:

                  //Loop for setting LAF
for (j = 0; j < fullKeyboard0.length; j++)
{
	for (i = 0; i < 12; i++) 
 		fullKeyboard0[j][i].setLocalLookAndFeel(keysLaf);		
}

                    Yes, so don't do it that way :)

                    const myArray = Content.getAllComponents("Key\\d"); // The \\d is regex for any number

                    You could also use a loop, I've shown this in a few videos.

                    for (i = 0; i < numberOfButtons; i++)
{
    myArray.push(Content.getComponent("Key" + i);
}

                    If you're making a custom keyboard you would probably be better off either customising the stock keyboard or using a panel.

                      If you're making a custom keyboard you would probably be better off either customising the stock keyboard or using a panel.

                      I can't use the stock keyboard for multiple reasons and I tried making one from a panel like you have in one of the videos, but the math for the click/over areas gets more tricky when moving beyond the stripes. Overlapped buttons does the job easier.

                      The keyboard I am making here is not for displaying incoming MIDI, but for pitch class set and pitch set information (so scale filters and harmonizers etc.).

                        You need to put your components into an array. Then you can use i (it doesn't have to be called i, that's just convention) to access elements in the array.

                        So that works, but it still makes a big mess of code to do repetitive things:

                        Isn't there some way to make that more compact?
                        It seems odd to me that the index in a loop can't apply to a component name number, as it forces the manual steps to at least get anything into an array.

                        so this is pretty easy and std to do:

                        const OneOctaveKeyboard0;
const OneOctaveKeyboard1;
for(i=0;i<12;i++)
{
      OneOctaveKeyboard0[i] = Content.getComponent("Key"+ i);
      OneOctaveKeyboard1[i] = Content.getComponent("Key"+ (i+12));
};

                          @Lindon Thanks! I will use that to clean things up.

                            @VirtualVirgin And to add up on friends examples, you can nest two arrays (aka 2D array) so everything lies in one unique keyboard array:

                            const var keyboards = [];

for (oct=0; oct<11; oct++)
{
	keyboards[oct] =[]; /* add a nested octave array that will hold 12 keys */
	
	for(key=0; key<12; key++)
	{
		var keyNb = oct*12 + key;
		
		if (keyNb > 127)
			break; /* 128 is time to break the loop boy */
		
		keyboards[oct][key] = Content.getComponent("Key" + keyNb);
	}
};

                            Can't help pressing F5 in the forum...
