Would someone be so kind as to show me what code and where to put it to make this AutoKnob start from the beginning of its index on new triggers. Everything is there and it should be a fairly easy to give an example. I am still no good at the code module but I'm trying.
Thanks

Aha, looks like my old code from the Soopa Loopa auto-knobs. Nice touch, the way you separated the rec and play sections to have an external 'mem' - opens the possibility to save/load the loop contents. I'll try to take a look later on (birthday today, so will be too drunk for SM'ing!) - if I remember my timing system right, it may need some tweaking of the record section also, as the 'Phase' parameter also changes the playback position (it compensates for start position not falling exactly on a zero-crossing of the timing signals). I also modified that code many times for recent Loopa versions - so I'll rummage in my module archives - maybe there is an improved version of the code that can be used.

Happy Bday Trog. 🙂 Yes some Soopa Code in there. I'm still trying to get the best AutoKnob I can, the last one ended up a beast in some good ways but suffered from red loops and minor other problems. So hopefully we could get a good example for everyone.
opens the possibility to save/load the loop contents.
Exactly. 😉

Interesting method-still working it out.......
Here's my latest Autoknob. ..Hope it helps in someway.

Here's my latest Autoknob. ..Hope it helps in someway.
@BillV That's a brilliant example, looks like its almost a full Synth engine. I will fool around with it and see if it helps in someway ... Really nice work on that. I am hoping Trog will take a moment away from his new Bass guitar and the hangover he is nursing and maybe show us how its done. The goal is to Trigger from the zero start point after that I can put a save to disk in.
Here is another example. This one is based on recording to an array. It works but it is not as smooth and if you unhook the arrays make sure your tick is turned off or bad stuff happens. This one has file save and a preset manager. It has most of what I need but Cpu usage was to high with this style and it suffer's from many little bugs.
The Bad (Redloops, HighCpu, Crash when unhooking array if tick not off, Slow starts on trigger, Preset dropdown doesn't save automation?, Misc other bad things I cant remember)
The Good Triggers on one midi key press and holds. Trig Triggers on every midi key press every time Retrig Side car rec trigger module. Pulse Saves Automation to disk. Will record only movement IE (Recs only movement dumps any non movement) Will record time based movement. IE (You hold the knob still and it records the no movement time.) The slider by the knob adjusts how fast you can move the knob. Slider excepts right click. Right click Knob for fast location jump Preset Manager Forward and Back buttons save automation. (Bad-Preset dropdown doesn't save automation(Fix this)
Side car rec trigger module. You need to select pulse on the dropdown menu of the knob for this to work. RecHold means you can just press the red button and tap the green button and it will record. Press red again to stop RecKey means you hold down the rec button while hitting a key on your keyboard. Let go when finished. Run leaves it running (looping) Trig means it triggers when you hit a key on your midi keyboard (It re-triggers the loop from the start on each press)
I'm stuck on the first one I posted. Trog do you have some time?
Thanks Attic

Bump .... Sorry but before the sky falls on SM land is there an answer to the initial question in this post? The start AutoKnob from the beginning of its index thing?
trogluddite ·
Sorry mate, that one fell off my radar, I promised I'd take a look for you.
Might be a day or two before I get back to you - the whole SM/FS things has got me a bit wound up, and the weather is beautiful, so I want to get away from the forum for a little while before I get sucked too far down the rabbit hole! 😕
Can you send me a reminder in a PM, it will make me less likely to forget! 🙂

Thanks Trog I really appreciate it. If its the last thing I ever do with Synthmaker I will still try to get the best Autoknob that I could build. 😉
Yes I know its not even a Vst but the control of something is what makes an instrument and I think with this particular control done well it could add a certain ease to a few plugins allowing them to become real instruments.
