Builder InterfaceTypes

[Lindon]

@David-Healey not at the moment...seems to work OK

[David Healey]

@Lindon I'm connecting to a lot of external scripts, that might be the issue

[Lindon]

@David-Healey yeah maybe , meanwhile the feckinn autocomplete is a pile of doggy do...

[David Healey]

@Lindon said in Builder InterfaceTypes:

autocomplete is a pile of doggy do...

What's it done?

[Lindon]

@David-Healey it works sometimes and the on others fails completely - only showing me the list of variables I'm using in my script.... its really really crap.

[David Healey]

@Lindon I find if you add a new object the autocomplete won't show anything relevant to it until you hit compile.

[Lindon]

@David-Healey yeah that I know, but this is a the same builder object oi have been using to build everything else with.....

[Lindon]

@Lindon ok here I am AGAIN, 3 times in one day....

So does anyone know the correct Chain Index for the SampleStart modulation , not in the documentation(duh) and not showing up in the auto complete....

[David Healey]

@Lindon I don't see one

There isn't one for group xf, mix modulation, or some others either.

I wonder if this is what Direct is for.

[Lindon]

@David-Healey yeah - Im begingng to think this Builder stuff is a bit pointless - if its not all there then its not saving anything in the end.

@Lindon you can always lookup the chain index by inspecting the XML:

SampleStart => 4th child processor => 4.

const var b = Synth.createBuilder();

const var sampler = b.create(b.SoundGenerators.StreamingSampler, "Sampler", 0, -1);
const var SAMPLE_START_MOD_INDEX = 4;

b.create(b.Modulators.Velocity, "VeloSampleStart", sampler, SAMPLE_START_MOD_INDEX);
b.flush();

Im begingng to think this Builder stuff is a bit pointless - if its not all there then its not saving anything in the end.

I would say 99% of the functionality is there - I'm building the full Triaz module tree with the builder including hardcoded FX modules, loading custom script processors, etc. It's just that the current docs are a bit sparse and you need to know secret tricks like this one but that is solved with the glory of the new upcoming docs.
