HI Guys, i am getting mad, and getting stuck...

i am working on a very simple implementation of a "sort-of" patch cord to connects INS and OUTS on a GUI (two circles, a line that connects them)

to do that I need to read the position of the INS and OUTS on the GUI (x and y positions of the two circles on the GUI)

i am abit confused now and am not able to do that...any help?

I don't think you can "read" their positions. OTOH, you're the one deciding what their positions are, so you should also know what you set their positions to.

You don't HAVE to position GUI elements manually by editing the front panel, you can have them positioned with numbers inside your schematic as well.

Unfortunately I don't have an example in handy atm, sorry about that 🙂 Anyone else got one?

mmm...maybe i found a solution...

i was working on a patchcord, in and out conncetor as three different modules...

if i just create one module which includes IN, OUT and patch cord it hould be easier...

THIS is what i was trying to build (of course still needs to be refined but the basic seem to work...

connect the black dots with the patch cord and signal passes, disconnect them, signal doesn't pass....

could that be useful ???

OMG- the inner schematic is a piece of modern art! 😉

but very tricky stuff nevertheless.

BTW: your download link needs a little fix by adding ".osm" to the URL

that's very neat, clever bit of programming.

We can go build Reason clones now! 🙂

LOL, yea, it could use a bit more organization 🙂

I was planning on a patchcord system; thanks for beating me to the punch!

well, it just started as a small test and ended up with this...i couldn't sleep last night so i started dropping links like mad...

i will re-organize it in a more decent manner, i promise 😉

OMG this looks like something that sure can become very handy in synth creation.

Hi autodafe,

i'm on my 7th day trial and found your fine work... 🙂

I really think that your Module can become very handy 4 me 2!
