Solved Custom modulators for custom variables

Is it possible to use an internal modulator to modulate a knob (variable) that doesn't exist under the hood? For example, say I have a while loop that retriggers notes:

Code:

on note
   ignore_event($EVENT_ID)
   while ($looping = 1)
       $new_id := play_note($EVENT_NOTE, $EVENT_VELOCITY, 0, $duration)
   end while
end on

Now say I want to modulate the value of $duration with an internal modulator, e.g. Sine LFO. Is this possible? I would need some way to ping the value of the modulator at any given moment, which I'm going to assume is not possible. In that case, how realistic is coding my own modulators? I was already considering doing this for other reasons. I was thinking I could keep variables that represent the current values of the custom modulators, and these variables would be updated based on specific functions of time (e.g. ~lfo_sine1 := sin(x)) in the listener callback. Then I could ping the value of those modulators any time I wanted. Has anyone ever tried this? I would also like to use envelope followers, which would require that I get a reading of the db value of the playing sample. Is that not possible either? Thanks.

 

No.
