Solved Trigger a slider by a key

Hi All,

I wanna trigger $slider1 with $KEY24 and make it go through all the 30 motions and not jump from 0 to 30.

Code:

on init

make_perfview
set_ui_height_px(300)
 
declare ui_slider $slider1(0, 30)
hide_part($slider1,  $HIDE_PART_BG .or. $HIDE_PART_MOD_LIGHT .or. $HIDE_PART_TITLE .or. $HIDE_PART_VALUE)
set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($slider1),  $CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"slide")
move_control_px($slider1,1, 20)
set_control_par(get_ui_id($slider1), $CONTROL_PAR_MOUSE_BEHAVIOUR, -1000)
make_persistent($slider1)

set_key_color(24,$KEY_COLOR_RED)
declare const $KEY24 := 24


end on 
on note
if ($EVENT_NOTE = $KEY24)
   $slider1 :=  30
  end if
  end on

 

Right now, your script says:
When Key 24 is pressed, take the value of slider1 and set it equal to 30 IMMEDIATELY. There are no other instructions to tell slider1 to go from 0 (or its current state) to 1, to 2, to 3, to 4, etc.

How fast does the slider need to transition? Should it move by increments of 1? 0.1? 10? Once the slider is set to the value 30 using this script, will it ever change again? Should it return to 0? What if it goes above 30?

More information is needed to make this work flawlessly for you, but here is a start:

Code:

on init
  make_perfview
  set_ui_height_px(300)
  message("")
  declare ui_slider $slider1(0, 30) 
  hide_part($slider1,$HIDE_PART_BG .or. $HIDE_PART_MOD_LIGHT .or. $HIDE_PART_TITLE .or. $HIDE_PART_VALUE)
  set_control_par_str(get_ui_id($slider1),$CONTROL_PAR_PICTURE,"slide")
  move_control_px($slider1,1,20)
  set_control_par(get_ui_id($slider1),$CONTROL_PAR_MOUSE_BEHAVIOUR,-1000)
  make_persistent($slider1)
  set_key_color(24,$KEY_COLOR_RED)
  declare const $KEY24 := 24
  declare $sliderCount := 0
end on

on note
  if ($EVENT_NOTE=$KEY24)
    $sliderCount := 1
    while ($slider1<30)
      $slider1 := $slider1+$sliderCount
      message($slider1)
      if ($slider1>get_control_par(get_ui_id($slider1),$CONTROL_PAR_MAX_VALUE))
        $slider1 := get_control_par(get_ui_id($slider1),$CONTROL_PAR_MAX_VALUE)
      else
        if ($slider1<get_control_par(get_ui_id($slider1),$CONTROL_PAR_MIN_VALUE))
          $slider1 := get_control_par(get_ui_id($slider1),$CONTROL_PAR_MIN_VALUE)
        end if
      end if
      wait(50000)
      inc($sliderCount)
    end while
  end if
end on

1. Added message("") on init to clear the message box.
2. Add variable sliderCount to use in a while loop.
3. Changed on note logic to do the following: when note 24 is pressed, the slider value is equal to its current value plus 1. That value is written as a message in Kontakt.
Then, we check if the slider value is outside the min and max ranges of 0 to 30, which is how you defined the slider.
Once the min and max values are handled so we do not get warnings from Kontakt, wait(50000) holds the value for a moment before incrementing sliderCount and running the loop again. Increase or decrease this wait period to change how long it takes the slider to transition.
The loop exits after slider1 is finally set to 30.

Hopefully this does what you need!
