Hide non-active group

Hi! I would like to know how I can hide on the keyboard a non-active group, for example, I make a group switcher, and then when i select group 1, i only want to see group 1 sounds on the keyboard, and if i switch to group 2, which, let's say, has less samples, i don't want to see the sounds that are in group 1 mapped on the keyboard. I don't know if the explanation is clear enough. I can't manage to find anything about this in the ksp reference. Thanks in advance!

 

You need to manually do the keycoloring for each group's keyboard range. Commands you're going to need: while loop, set_key_color().

 

Moved to Scripting forum.

 

Hey, thanks for the advice, now I'm with this code:

and i have a problem. When i press one key, it turns into the color specified (BLUE), so i can press keys until all i want turn blue, the problem is, that when i switch a group, all those buttons remain colored, instead of resetting to the group's main amount, and then giving me the opportunity to color them on that group too. Am i missing a parameter somewhere? thanks in advance!

 

You shouldn't do key coloring in the note callback, if you want to change the keyrange colors depending on which group is selected, you need to do that in on ui_control callback of $groups_menu.

 

Now it writes parse error with these 2 tries:

and

Any idea?

 

Now I'm trying with this, without the "$groups_menu = 0", it actually changes the color of the keys between 60 and 72, but as soon as i implement that condition, it won't work

 

You cannot use $EVENT_NOTE in ui_control callback

You first need to reset key coloring with $KEY_COLOR_NONE, then with another set_key_color() set the range you want to the color you want.

 

Now I can color a certain amount of keys when i switch the menu, but then, when i switch to another point of the menu, the WHITE code won't work, so it's almost like the same as not using the code, except if i can make the WHITE code work, it would erase the non-used area.

 

Use $KEY_COLOR_NONE, not $KEY_COLOR_WHITE... Also you didn't initialize the counter of your while loop, that's why it's not working correctly.

This should work:

Code:

on ui_control ($groups_menu)
    $count := 0
    while ($count < 128)
        set_key_color($count,$KEY_COLOR_NONE)
        select ($groups_menu)
            case 0
                if (in_range($count,<low key>,<high key>))
                    set_key_color($count,$KEY_COLOR_GREEN)
                end if
            case 1
                if (in_range($count,<low key>,<high key>))
                    set_key_color($count,$KEY_COLOR_BLUE)
                end if
        end select
    end while
end on

 

I implemented this code, it looks like this now:

but nothing happens when i switch the groups, the original mapping's range remains on the keyboard, and no green or blue turn up, also, the keyboard doesn't turn white. Thanks for your answer and patience!

 

Hmmm... OK, perhaps after all DO try $KEY_COLOR_WHITE instead of _NONE.

 

Thank you for your help, i got it to work!
