This must be fundamental but I can't figure it out...

Basically I've got a slider and I want it's current value displayed beside it *only* when it's being adjusted.

I've tried jacking in to the various mouse connectors, used a leftbutton down component etc. but no luck. I'm controlling the values visibility by switching it's View connector.

Any ideas?

I made a knob that does this. You can get the OSM in the middle of this thread: Help with PALine and G2PA Ben

Cheers Ben,

Looks just what I need, time to reverse engineer... (well, not really seeing as you've given me the osm... 🙂)

Looks more complicated than I imagined but hey ho.

Gary.

yeah I made it a while ago before I new what I was doing so there is probably a more efficient way to do things. I haven't looked at it recently. Ben

Hi GaryG,

Try the following, it uses the same technique I used for the dezipper module I posted a while ago. There's a module that prevents the View data from being passed unless the Float input is changing. All done using timers, hopefully easy enough to follow.

I have been using mouse over for this type of thing which is also another way you can do it, thanks Malc, great example 🙂

Cheers everybody,

Sorry for the delay in responding, just back from a week on an isolated island just off the Essex coast (no PC never mind internet access! 😮)

Will try your example Malc asap.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
