Few questions from a newbie

[ScreamingWaves]

@d-healey

yes the routing is easy. but it theres no way to use individual channels to then pan them mono, that's why i asked if maybe it was possible to split them with scripts. if not it's not a big deal.
Thank you so much for your replies!

[d.healey]

@ScreamingWaves You can use simple gain modules (or a script FX) to pan a stereo signal to one side.

@d-healey

i tried that, but the signal will be either left or right if the outputs are designed to be stereo. It would be an option (for the end user) to print into audio and then split L &R to have 2 mono channels. did you mean that?

[d.healey]

@ScreamingWaves I'm not following. If it's a mono signal then it cannot be panned, it's only going to come out of one side. I think I'm missing something simple.

@d-healey

you meant to send for example kick to out 1, and snare to out 2, right? doing that i use 2 outputs instead of 4, and i could save some outs the cymbals. But the outputs of the plugin are designed to be stereo, so when the user will bounce the tracks on the daw, he will get anyway out 1 and 2 as stereo track that can be split and panned in the center in a daw it's a workaround, but not so practical

[d.healey]

@ScreamingWaves Ah I see what you're saying. Yes from the user's pov they'll get a single stereo track with different drums on each channel. If it was me I would just use stereo outs for everything.

@d-healey
yes that's what im going for now, it's not a big deal.

anyway I'd have another question haha
i just set up mute and solo buttons bull all the channels (from your Take 2 video) and everything works fine, but when i use the gain knob with mute on, the signal comes again and the mute button stays pressed, not so elegant. did i write something wrong or is is supposed to act like that?

i thought (as a newbie) that maybe with an "if" the mute button is on (1), the gain knob could be not available for use OR if one uses the gain knob the mute button could move to off (0).
that could be possible right?

Synth.deferCallbacks(true);

const NUM_CHANNELS = 8;

const soloState = [];

// Gather components and fx
const out = [];
const knbVolOut = [];
const btnMute = [];
const btnSolo = [];

for (i = 0; i < NUM_CHANNELS; i++)
{
out.push(Synth.getEffect("out" +i ));

knbVolOut.push(Content.getComponent("knbVolOut" + i ));
knbVolOut[i].setControlCallback(onknbVolOutControl);

btnMute.push(Content.getComponent("btnMute" + i ));
btnMute[i].setControlCallback(onbtnMuteControl);

btnSolo.push(Content.getComponent("btnSolo" + i ));
btnSolo[i].setControlCallback(onbtnSoloControl);
}

// knbVolOut
inline function onknbVolOutControl(component, value)
{
local index = knbVolOut.indexOf(component);

if ((!btnMute[index].getValue() && !soloState.contains(1)) || btnSolo[index].getValue())
	out[index].setAttribute(out[index].Gain, value);
}

// btnMute
inline function onbtnMuteControl(component, value)
{
soloMuteProcess();
}

// btnSolo
inline function onbtnSoloControl(component, value)
{
local index = btnSolo.indexOf(component);

soloState[index] = value;

soloMuteProcess();
}

// Functions

inline function soloMuteProcess()
{
for (i = 0; i < NUM_CHANNELS; i++)
{
if ((!soloState.contains(1) || btnSolo[i].getValue()) && (!btnMute[i].getValue() || btnSolo[i].getValue()))
out[i].setAttribute(out[i].Gain, knbVolOut[i].getValue());
else
out[i].setAttribute(out[i].Gain, -100);
}
}```

@ScreamingWaves Can you put that into a snippet?

[ScreamingWaves]

@d-healey
how do i do that? export as compressed script?

[d.healey]

@ScreamingWaves Make a mini project that includes only what's needed to demonstrate the issue. Then go to Export > Export as HISE Snippet. Paste the result here in code tags.

Snippets don't include images or samples, so use waveform generators instead of samplers

[ScreamingWaves]

@d-healey

On the snippet it works. My bad, on my project i left the knobs linked to the gainFX with the processor ID, that's why it was not working properly

[d.healey]

@ScreamingWaves Mini projects are a great way of debugging issues like this :)
