this is a png strip based knob! it can midi learn and save learned CC with vst params. it has a regrab function, means, if you change the value with the mouse and then with the midi controller, the value will not change until the midi controller reaches the value that was set before, this avoids hectic value changes and is handy if you dont have incremantal midi controller.

hold right mouse button ont the knob and move a midi control, voila, CC learned. remember! the value will not follow the midi controller until the midi controller touched the value that was set before. I'll ad a posibility to turn of that function if it confuses you.

what else to say...Ahh..you can see a preview of the controll in the propertys page. it is fully functional in this page, except it does not change and save the value and cc.

to froger assignet cc simply hold shift+strg+alt and right click.

i'll make a few testings and wait for improvement suggestions before i upload it. i think the shematic is too chaotic so and so to waste time with before finished 😉

so, tell me what you could need if you want this thing improved(or want it at all)

Cool D3CK,

really cool. Dunno what's missing, too late for me. I need to go to bed for hours, so tired. But what I see and read here it's really cool, man.

Best wishes, FRitz

Nice D3CK! 🙂

I've been working on something similar as part of the high-level modules that we want to supply with the software.

i had a bad dream..when you assign some controlls on a really big synth, it could be a pain in the ass to clear double assignment. i think and cc assignment system has to have a "automatic clear doubble assignment" maybe like that.. hold right button , then add left buttonand move controler clears all assignment mdde with this controller number, so both is possible, control more paramenters with one control, and automaticly clear last paramenter to control assignment if you want to reuse the control. But there is one questin...how the hell can i implement it without connecting all the UIcontrollers together, so they know if controller assignment has already been taken? i'm thinking..any ideas?is it nessesary?

great stuff, d3ck. For midi CC control something access named "adaptive parameter smoothing" for their virus synthesizers would be cool. Some sort of "oversampling" and interpolation of the incoming midi CC data.

mmh..i'm not ready to handle oversampling yet, means that i have to learn the way it works. i could implemet a lowpass so the midi is smoothed aut a bit, but i think it takes more to realize what you want? anyway, if you know how to do it , you could just implemetn it when i upload my version.

btw. i got a solution to avoid mass conrol da-assigning. yo can now hold shift+ctrl+alt and move a controller, all assignments so this controller are deleted then. so if you want completely reassign a controller you can delete all assignments first and tehn assaign a new.

Looks cool dasdeck 🙂

what about a parent mode? so you got one master knob, and other knob can then inherit the options set ont the master knob. most important: the png data has not to get loaded each time. at this time it still does. i'll do it!! 😀 😀 😀

yeah, i know how,but i did not implement it yet. the rest is ready but my webspace is not available (for ftp upload) these days, they are improving some things, so i'll wait untill it is available again. It should be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

also the devs could make a feature wich automaticly removes redundant data, so my parant mode would be more a kind of luxus. at this point i think its necessary to save memory.

@dasdeck :i don´t know why i did not find this post before but thats exactly what i am looking for. really great work! i know the regrab function from my korg microkorg and it really avoides some chaos ( especially when playing life!). Grüße nach hamburg

danke (thanks), but this is very old and untidy. i suggest you take the concept and rebuild it. maybe it still works, i'm not shure.

edit: seems like the webspace has gone too. 😕

peace

yes it seems so. 🙁 🙁 🙁 i know i need something like that and i don´t think that i am able to build it by myself at the moment. but if you post a screenshot and explain it a little i may understand it 😉 😉 😉 .

tell me what you need. maybe i can slap something together for you. make a list. so you want this regrab function. what else should it be able to? midi leran?

cheers
