modulators by EvilDragon

hi EvilDragon

thank you for your great help incl. tutorials
I did find your approaching modulators tutorial somewhere ...
but is it possible to sync LFO to tempo of the track ?


may I ask you one more Q ?
is it good approach to buttons based on ui_slider - to have custom graphic button ?


on ui_control($knobFilteron)
$F := get_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_EFFECT_BYPASS,0,1,-1)
if ($F = 1)
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_EFFECT_BYPASS,($F-1) mod 2 ,0,1,-1)
else
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_EFFECT_BYPASS,($F-1) mod 2 ,0,1,-1)
end if
end on

 

Syncing stuff to tempo is not the easiest stuff done with KSP, because of the simple reason that when you set a knob to tempo-sync mode, it CHANGES the engine parameter values for the same time division, depending on tempo! This is extremely tricky and convoluted way of going about it.

Your other question - you don't need to use ui_sliders to skin buttons. ui_buttons and ui_switches can be skinned as well, you need to have a special image that consists of 6 states:

off
on
off, mouse down
on, mouse down
off, mouse over
on, mouse over

And accompanying text file naturally. This is all explained in Kontakt Player Developer Guide.

 

oh thanks ... I followed script in developer manual

on init

{--Set performance view attributes--}
make_perfview
set_ui_height_px(250)
set_script_title("Example Script")

{--Declare UI elements--}
declare ui_slider $slider01 (0,100)
declare ui_switch $switch01
declare ui_label $label01 (1,1)
declare ui_menu $menu01

{--Place UI IDs in an Array--}
declare %ui_id_array[4]
%ui_id_array[0] := get_ui_id($slider01)
%ui_id_array[1] := get_ui_id($switch01)
%ui_id_array[2] := get_ui_id($label01)
%ui_id_array[3] := get_ui_id($menu01)
declare $count := 0

while ($count < 4)

set_control_par(%ui_id_array[$count],$CONTROL_PAR_POS_X,262)
set_control_par(%ui_id_array[$count],$CONTROL_PAR_POS_Y,18+($count*50))
set_control_par_str(%ui_id_array[$count],$CONTROL_PAR_TEXT,"")
inc($count)
end while

end on


works fine but
when I added two lines at the end

set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($slider01),$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"pv_vintage_drums_knob")

set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($switch01),$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"pv_band_switch_slow_fast")


slider looks fine but switch is not displayed in full how . why it happens ? and how to correct it ?
switch picture and knob picture is taken directly from picture folder of kontakt. so the picture is not the point
---
looks like I did it
ok ?

on init

make_perfview

declare $F

declare ui_switch $switch_states
move_control_px($switch_states,66,2)
set_control_par (get_ui_id($switch_states),$CONTROL_PAR_HEIGHT,40)
set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($switch_states),$CONTROL_PAR_TEXT,"")
set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($switch_states),$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"pv_urban_switch")
end on

on ui_control ($switch_states)

$F := get_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_EFFECT_BYPASS,0,1,-1)
if ($F = 1)
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_EFFECT_BYPASS,($F-1) mod 2 ,0,1,-1)
else
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_EFFECT_BYPASS,($F-1) mod 2 ,0,1,-1)
end if
end on

 

Please, use

Code:

 tags, or paste code to www.pastebin.com in the future, this is a mess right now if you look at it :)


Yep, for buttons you need to use $CONTROL_PAR_WIDTH and $CONTROL_PAR_HEIGHT since they're usually resizeable.
