Coding Modules

Malc has been working on some documentation including a section on the Code component, it will most probably be online later today.

At the moment you cant create delays inside the code component, you need arrays for that. It's something that stefan has been asking for too and it I think will be implemented soon.

Cool thanks that will help me alot. What the most helpfull format to do this i think would be to have a osc or effect ect coded then give it as an example download with a tutorial on what each line of code is doing.

I have already pasted code module code for both oscillators and filters here in the forums 🙂

Hi i found a oscillators code for a mono sine i think but i didnt see a filter code anywhere.

State Variable Filter for Synthmaker 😉

Cool thanks 🙂

Ok as this is related to my orginal question im going to ask another. Is there plans for other code modules such as java or html. I think those would be quite cool. Maybe if you enabled the parts of the source that let you make rollover images and text effects. I think what your doing with the coding modules is great but html and java would take GUI design to the next level with opacity fade in images, scrollers, rollovers ect. That would be crazy cool 🙂

We had want to allow you to be able to code GUI stuff at some point in the future. However, I doubt this would use java or HTML. You would be able to do all the things you're talking about though. Some of these you can already do using existing GUI components - maybe all in fact.

Tom7777 · 20 Mar 2005

Cool, I thought it would be possible to make some stuff like this but i have not had much luck so far. If you have any spare time could you please post an example of fading between images that interests me very much but i have not been able to create any of these really. I had worked out animation though so any examples would be great and get me started on more complex things. Thanks

Oh also is the Assembler code languange a shortened SM version or does it have all command strings to allow people to create games and app type functions because i did a test but no results on that sort of thing.

The bitmap fading may not be possible yet - I'll need to check. If it isn't then the components to do it will be easy to add. Leave it with me.

The assembler is a subset of x86 with some of our own commands thrown in. To some extent this has been overshadowed by the code component which is much easier to use and produces results that are equally as fast.

Tom7777 · 21 Mar 2005

Thanks malc im looking forward to that module 🙂

stefan · 21 Mar 2005

It is probably doable already. You could draw a rectangle over each of the two pics and fade the alpha of that rectangle.

Tom7777 · 22 Mar 2005

Hi stefancrs, could you post an example please if possible. Thanks

stefan · 22 Mar 2005

I tried to knock one up, but unfortunately there does not seem to be any way to force two gui's to be added together. Making two pictures fade to black with a ratio knob was a no-brainer, but adding these two together did not quite work for me.

Malc?

There are a couple of components in the pipeline that will make this possible I think. These convert between bitmaps and argb. fading would then be a simple manner of adjusting the alpha channel for one of the bitmaps.

I saw those components in the 0.9.1c beta. I'd love to have a play with them, and know how they work 🙂

I'll check with jorge to see if they are working well enough to go out 🙂

Thanks everyone

Stefancrs i am also interested in images that fade to black on mouse over and also animated fading which im guessing would have something to do with a ramp osc so it resets (sine im guessing would go to end and reverse), If you got any results like this i am also very interested in any full/semi working effects as i dont really know how yet. I havent really been using the GUI stuff much so i havent learnt as much with it as i have with the audio modules which im now much better with. One other thing i can't work out is how to do the arranging of which image is above and under (sorting) which relates to this feature i requested -

Module Ordering

Thanks 🙂
