Sticky knobs

[pcs800]

I created a compressor, and two of the knobs are sluggish and sticky. They jump from point to point, rather than moving smoothly like the other.

@pcs800 Check the step size

[HISEnberg]

@pcs800 edit the step size in the property editor

[pcs800]

@d-healey Step size doesn't make a difference. I can pick any of the three in the dropdown, and the knob still jumps.

@pcs800 what are your min & max? because a 0 to 1 knob with the finest stepsize from the drop down still shows some sticky behaviour (a hundred point is not enough)

So you can either make the knob 0 to 100 and divide the value where you need it, or simply set a finer stepSize with MyKnob.set("stepSize", 0.001)

I think having this resolution in the dropdown could be useful for everyone, I'll check if I can add it and make a pull-request...

@ustk The IR HighCut range in a convolution reverb, is 20.0 to 2000.0
If I change it to 0-1, that is what will display in the panel, which is wrong.

When I add your code Knob1.set("stepSize", 0.001)
I get these errors.

Interface:! Line 86, column 10: Unknown function 'set' {SW50ZXJmYWNlfG9uSW5pdCgpfDI3NjF8ODZ8MTA=}
MAL VoxVerb:! Line 86, column 10: Unknown function 'set' {SW50ZXJmYWNlfG9uSW5pdCgpfDI3NjF8ODZ8MTA=}

@pcs800 So your knob needs to have 20-20000 for min-max with a stepSize of 1.

The error message you get is probably because the knob isn't declared in the script. But anyway, it shouldn't show a "steppy" behaviour with the above settings, unless something else is wrong...

@ustk As a test, I started a new project and added a convolution reverb, then showed the module interface, and the knobs ir hicut and damping turn perfectly smooth. But as soon as I add an IR, they get sticky.
Which means anybody should easily be able to reproduce this.

@ustk See this video showing an easy repro

@pcs800 Nice and smooth here. Which commit of HISE are you using?

[Chazrox]

@pcs800 have u tried Knob1.setAttribute() instead of Knob1.set()?

So it’d be

Knob1.setAttribute(“stepSize”, .001);

[d.healey]

@Chazrox Check out the video he posted above, it's happening just in the convolution module itself, no scripting or UI connection required.

[Chazrox]

@d-healey ahh. Stranger things. lol

[Dan Korneff]

Is this an IPP thing? Appears to be related to drawing the impulse waveform.

[d.healey]

@Dan-Korneff Ah could be, I don't use IPP so wouldn't see it. Maybe enabling the multithread button would help too.

@pcs800 adjust the knobs middle position

[d.healey]

@xxx It's happening in the module, it has nothing to do with the UI. Watch his video.

[pcs800]

@d-healey @Christoph-Hart needs to see the video above

[d.healey]

@pcs800 Which commit of HISE are you using? Is the problem only in HISE or also in compiled projects? Does enabling the multithread button make a difference?

[pcs800]

@d-healey IDK what commit, and trying to use git to retrieve it isn't working for me.
I downloaded the Hise installer and installed it, a couple months ago.
The issue is in Hise and the compiles plugins. Multithread makes no difference.
It doesn't happen for you?
