Hi everyone! I was once in love with the Moog Modular (BTW, on a sad note, rest in peace Robert), but then I noticed I couldn't get anything out of it apart from dull saws. So I threw myself on the wonderful Hammond organ.
There's no real need to make a new Hammond VSTi, since there already is the superb "B4" by Natural Instruments. Anyway, I wanted to try it nonetheless, just to learn something.
Since I suck at creating controls (you know, triggers, redraws and all these things 🙂 ), I'd like to know if somebody ever made a Hammond-like drawbar. Here's what it should be like:
[*] 9-state drawbar "slider" (off, 1-8), from up to down (non-continuous);
[*] it should be visible somewhere what its value is;
[*] not necessary to have actual Hammond-like graphics, I only need a fake drawbar.
I hope this is the right place to ask, else feel free to move it 🙂

i had a quick hack of one of my slider controls and came up with this : www.snadsie.f2s.com/drawbar.osm
gives both the usual float out of 0 to 1 as well as a stepped integer out of 0 - 8. Maybe the float out may be useful for 'humanising' purposes...?
obviously the graphics could be customised, markers added etc. etc.

edit: had to re-upload as original version had errors - looked like SM wasn't remembering a change I made to the order of a couple of connectors...

Wow! Wonderful! ^^ I edited a slider for my work, but your drawbar is quite better. I'll try to rip the artwork then.

not what you need probably but i had a further play just to try things out (loops!)
drawbar v2:
uses discrete 'blobs' now which i thought more 'drawbar'-like than a simple stretched rectangle. also allows a different colour knob to be coded.
mouse logic is still 'free' though, you don't have to specifically click-drag on the knob (hate that paradigm... 🙂), just click anywhere in the vicinity of the draw bar to drag it.
