Making button flash upon mouseclick AND midi note

@Morphoice said in Making button flash upon mouseclick AND midi note:

const var btnPadName = ["KickPad","SnarePad","HatPad","OpenHatPad",
"SidestickPad","LoTomPad","MidTomPad","HiTomPad",
"LoCongaPad","HiCongaPad","ClapPad","CowbellPad",
"CrashPad","RidePad","CabasaPad","TamburinePad"];

Here's something you can do, change the IDs of your buttons to btnPad0, btnPad1, etc.

Then you can get them all in the array with const btnPads = Content.getAllComponents("btnPad\\d"); And if you want to add more pads in the future you just add it and number it correctly and it will automatically be added to your array.

@d-healey aye, you had that in your video, and it’s super convenient- I just decided against it as the number wont ever change. The LinnDrum only has so many sounds… And I swear to god whenever I hit that sidestick button I wanna start singing “nobody on the road, nobody on the beach…”

[Morphoice]

@griffinboy so like the same way I did the rotate and hover on the knobs… how would the midi be able to triger that? Is there some sort of state i can put a button in? Like lit up and unlit

@Morphoice

I've only ever done it with panels, I'm not sure about laf.
But one way to do it is yes, to have a way to store data for whether a particular pad is on or off. And in your external callbacks for midi activity, you could set this data and then call repaint.

The ideal solution would be to create a 'flash' script which would take care of this behavior automatically and redraw it to create the animation. I believe there is a function available that allows you to call another function after waiting a certain amount of time. This could be used as a 'wait' so that you would first send a command to draw the panel lit up, wait, and then call the command to revert it after a set amount of time has passed

@Morphoice this is a way to do it with panels (I think it's difficult to achieve same result using buttons)
I had an old script used for indicating when certain key where pressed I just changed som small things so it would look like in your picture.

All the panels share the same paint routine and the animation is just a timer inside the paint routine, which fades the hit

Take look and see if you can use something of it.

@ulrik brilliant! I think this should have helped me to understand the principle and see the benefit over using buttons. I'll have a go about implementing this now and report back! thank you all so much.

[Morphoice]

@ulrik works like a charm with Midi!

I'm trying to add a mouse click event to the panels too

for (d in drumPads) {
	d.setPaintRoutine(PR);
	d.setMouseCallback(onDrumPadClick);
}

inline function onDrumPadClick(event)
{
	//Console.print(event);
	
	if (event.clicked==1) {
		Synth.playNote(36, 127);
		drumPads[0].data.alpha = 1;
		drumPads[0].changed();
	} 
};

this works for the first sound, but how do I get the index of the pad clicked inside the mouse event callback function? it doesn't pass the component only the event, if I understood the documentation correctly. I could give em all a seperate callback function but that would be bad practice, wouldnt it?

you have the x and y position for the mouse click - use that to work out which pad was clicked in your panel.

[ulrik]

@Morphoice In this example I use

index = AllPanels.indexOf(this);

inside the mouseCallback

@Lindon so you mean Content.getComponentUnderMouse should work?

[Morphoice]

@ulrik brilliant. I swear I tried the same approach before but hadn't set up everything right so it didnt work. Now it does. Thanks so much!

Sorry I was assuming you were using a single panel and drawing the "button" on to it - seems you are using multiple panels...

[Morphoice]

@Lindon yes sir but the x/y might actually be a useful tip for calculating the click position on the panel and from there maybe get a velocity value

@Morphoice said in Making button flash upon mouseclick AND midi note:

yes that would work - remember the Y value increases the further down the screen you go, so you velocity calc might be:

(panel height - y position)/(panel height/127)

for a full range solution...
