@ustk Ok, so what is the rule here , why in reverse order ?
Also , for switches ?

[ustk]

@lalalandsynth Because when a drawbar is fully opened (at 8), the knob is at 0
So the first image in the strip is 8, and the last image is 0

[ustk]

@hisefilo @lalalandsynth Drawbars are ready to receive the filmstrips

[lalalandsynth]

@ustk Yep, should be a way to flip value of a slider easily , but yes , will make sure of that .

[ustk]

@lalalandsynth It's not because of the values in fact but because of the mouse.
With a knob, the value is going up and down when the mouse goes up and down, so both the value and the filmstrip have to be inverted.
If we were using script panels, I could have made the code the way we want independently from the mouse movement.
So if it's a problem, tell me and I can change the knobs for script panels ;)

[lalalandsynth]

@ustk Bt sheer luck it is rendered in the correct way :)

[lalalandsynth]

@ustk Yes, At some point i expected to just be able to invert the values in min max properties , felt intuitive.

[hisefilo]

@ustk @lalalandsynth sliders are already inverted. So just inverting the strip as @ustk said will do the trick

inline function onKnobDrawbar4Control(component, value)
{
	SimpleGainMain4.setAttribute(SimpleGainMain4.Gain, 100 * (1 - value) - 100);
};

[ustk]

@hisefilo I simplified the code and made it compatible for step behavior.
Pull the git if you wanna have a look :)

[ustk]

@hisefilo Also the skew factor is fucked up because the knob doesn't respect a log curve. The result is that we hear the sound only between pos 5 and 8, nothing before. Will check if a valueNormalized can help...

[hisefilo]

@ustk shoul be linear. not logarithmic as gain is...... I guess

[ustk]

@hisefilo The issue is that the knobs are necessarily linear. But if you just apply a factor 100 to it and map it as gain, the dB scale is not respected.
If you test your code above (mine has the same issue), we begin to hear a tone only from the midpoint

We need to use a valueNormalized applied to a dummy knob set in decibel, so it will convert to the right scale for us. I remember having this issue and that's what Christoph suggested.

[hisefilo]

@ustk yepp that sounds good. you nailed it

[ustk]

@hisefilo I pushed it if you want to test...

[hisefilo]

@ustk after dinner will do

[ustk]

@hisefilo So see you tomorrow! 2am here

[hisefilo]

@ustk @lalalandsynth @d-healey a pleasure to work with u guys. tomorrow is the day

[hisefilo]

@ustk morning!!! gain is working fine on drawers :)

[hisefilo]

well we are ready. Only thing left is background render and knobs/sliders filmstrips @lalalandsynth and we will compile and test (and record some blues for demos :)

[ustk]

@hisefilo @lalalandsynth I was thinking to find a more precise rule (like the original) for the drawbars gain factors.
And I simply found it's a mere -3dB rule for all positions, plus -inf for the last one...

I replaced the hacky mapping knob for a lookup table, so it should be more consistent and closer to the original.
Have a listen and tell me ;)
