Thanks guys, finally got my head around it

@rglides and @Oli-Ullmann
Sorry I didn't know how to use snippets before but after loading them they thought me everything I needed to know to figure out what I was doing wrong and comparing them with each other was a huge leap forward in my understanding of what does what.

@dannytaurus Thank you for your detailed input. This helped clarify some things and understand the other guys suggestions better. I'll defo check out regex101 too, thanks for the suggestion.

@d-healey Thanks for all your advice and patience, it really helped improve my understanding.

Thanks again everyone!

@d-healey You nailed it. That's exactly what I needed, your a legend Dave, cheers!

@d-healey This is gold mate. I'll get cracking on it on hopefully have something good to show ya, thanks :-)

Thanks @d-healey I really feel like I'm wasting everyone's time at this point so don't feel obligated, and no rush. But I still very much appreciate the offer.

Here's rglides suggestion which worked. In green is what I loosely understand, I red is what I don't.

Here's the updated version with rglides suggestions for allowing knob values to have decimals and to style all knobs globally. None of these updates I really understand fully.

Here's dannytarus recommendation to target all knobs:

...
In summary

1. I want to target all knobs so I don't have to duplicate code.
2. I want to show knob value with decimals. (This is not an issue of the slider properties, as I've matched it with other knobs that show the full character amount).

I know there is a combined negative effect of code I added to the original which I did not account for but can't figure out what it is.

PS: I don't know what a snippet is and how to use it.

@d-healey Yup that's basically what I said. And what I'm doing.

The problem with your suggestion is whether I type or copy I still do not understand it right now. Hence why I'm asking for advice here. I have manage to solve problems already but the only thing that is helping me with this seeing the code recommendations here from everyone, which then allows me understand what went wrong or what new functions are possible.

Remember I am not a developer but I want to learn, I am digesting your videos, forum posts and dev glossary, but I do not know what the possible functions are, what functions are outdated (the that global style I started with from your video), etc. Some information to what I'm trying to do is just not out there at least in a way I can search or find or understand it.

@Oli-Ullmann You're an absolute legend Oli, that worked like a charm :-)

@d-healey Thanks Dave, will keep at it so.

As a UX/UI designer I'm really missing more WYSIWYG design tools as it takes so much time to code to do the simplest of things. I know it's not supposed to be a design tool but seems strange to have some design tools and not other basic ones. Like add a text box, link it to a knob name or value, etc.

And no offense to anyone working on HISE, cause it's awesome! - And know it's more difficult than how I'm making it sound to implement those features, it's obviously not made for the general plebs like me :-)

Anyways loving it so far though, and I love the community, and appreciate everyone's feedback. I think I'll do crash course in C++ and/or JUCE to really understand what the code is actually doing.

Cheers! :-)

@mmprod Done! :-)

As a total noob, I'm finding it very difficult to get started so I'm looking for someone who can give me lessons over video chat, I'm thinking 30min-60min slot, we can agree on a price that works for both of us.

I've just started with HISE and created some presets and played around with script node, though I'm finding it very difficult to understand the terminology, UI, and where everything is and how best to approach things.

My coding skills are limited HTML/CSS, so I've no real relevant coding knowledge for HISE.

So I'd like someone who is a pro with HISE and can give me lessons, likely on a regular basis when I run into issues or want advice.

My only requirements are they must be very capable with HISE and can speaking English.

Let me know if your interested
