Tied Left-Right double slider

This here:

is working just the way you want it to (I'm not sure about the preset management though, maybe you could check on this)

Atm, it ties the sliders when you hold ctrl.

Cool - even as I was doing mine I was starting to realize it should be more modular and symetrical. Then, after I posted, I realized the problem of midi controlling a fader and sync'ing two faders together are similar and the solutions should be connected -- and that it would revolve around an ratio input for each fader. I was going to start over today but I don't think I can improve on yours.* I haven't tested the preset issue in a host app but displaying Y output from the preset module it looks like it behaves as you'd expect/want.

* edit: on second thought I'm changing yours to take a ratio input instead of the Y position. Should be more flexible for tying controllers together. Also working on the MIDI controller thing. (rl - I know about your Tascam board controller. I'm looking there for clues.)

I was thinking the same idea! Or you can have [control] to both to be sync'd together (equal), & [alt] for to just move both together (ratio).

While I've been thinking along these lines, that's not what I meant here.

I assume your talking about allowing the sliders to remain at different values but move in the same direction based on some ratio of their starting positions.

If so, that's down the road for me.

I meant, while keeping them in lock-step (equal values) for now, make the conenction with a 0-1 ratio value instead of the 12-0 Y position value.

(EDIT - this should help for parameter automation too)

It's just a matter of flexibility. In fact I've tried to build some new 'stock' sliders with some extra capabilities; including MIDI CC automation.

But as I don't currently have a MIDI controller hooked to my computer; I had to test it with some temporary inputs and then hook the MIDI stuff up untested.

Here's my OSM. Can someone let me know if the faders respond as intended?

Nope, they dont, at least with my bcr2k. Don't have time to look into it atm though...

Thanks - pretty much wishful thinking on my part. I'll give it a go once I get a controller hooked up.

(unless someone knows how to generate MIDI CC events in SM so I can send them to my slider without a controller!? I can't make heads nor tails out of the MIDI event component.)
