Sliders for Each Channel: What Would You Do?

[ericchesek]

Hi folks,

I have an interface with 8 buttons in a radio group to select a drum kit piece. Kick, snare, toms, cymbals, etc.

I want to have an EQ section that is always visible and only applies to the selected kit piece. So I can have the snare channel selected, boost +3dB at 200Hz, then click on the kick channel and that EQ band will then be the default 0dB. Then if you click the toms channel and that 200Hz band was reduced by -4dB, the slider would update to reflect that.

I can think of a few ways to achieve this, but what do you recommend? Is it nicer to have specific sliders per sampler that are linked to an EQ FX module, then show/hide depending on which drum channel is selected?

Or maybe have a script that reads and writes the slider values into reg's based on whatever channel is selected.

There may even be a third option I'm not considering.

Thanks!

@ericchesek - you are going to want to have each eq setting - as applied to a specific drum - saved in your presets, so the easiset way to do this is to have separate panels for each drum, and within the panel the eq controls you want. When you click one of your radio buttons - hide all panels - then show just the one panel for the drum that is selected...
