Another Animated Knob question

sequencer · 8 Jul 2006

Anybody got any experience of how to do this...?

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you set the knob to for instance 0.5, save the schematic and re-open it, isn't its value 0.5?

The default value is what the knob resets to if you ctrl-click it and also what it snaps to if you use snap.

I think he means reset to zero on open regardless of last save location.

Try an afterload trigger feeding a value of zero into a float switch where the MIDI CC mod connects.

Thanks for the replys gents'

Sorry if my question was a bit ambiguous, but oddson hit the nail on the head. Thanks for the schematic portion oddson, that makes sense.

Part of my problem is not knowing what all the components in the toolbox can do. 🙁

Hopefully once the component manual is out it will relieve my sense of stupidity a bit and give you all a rest from silly questions 😉

Thanks again

Gee.. there's only 304 of them. 😉

Ah. I haven't even had the nerve to count 'em. No wonder I can't understand what's going on.

I tried and implemented your suggestion, however something a bit bizarre happens... The knob disappears. If I click on the area where it is, it reappears. It does not want to centre itself though on schematic open, it just retains it's old value.

I'll scratch my head (not for any reason, I just like doing it) and see if I can figure out what is going on, though I fear I have tinkered too much and removed something to cause this 🙁

Here's how I did it:

Schematic!

Very similar to what oddson did. I just took the default bitmap knob and added the needed components.

Thanks for the schematic.

At least I now know for definite that I've done something wrong in my schematic elsewhere because your schematic worked fine (I'm sure the solution oddson gave would have as well, had I not knackered my schematic elsewhere somehow).

Thanks to you both, my mess now, so I'd better sort it.

Found what I'd done wrong, it's a bit dumb ass on my part 😊

Because I'm working with some strange Min/Max values for the knobs I'm using, I assumed that I had to use the centre value of Min/Max as the float input to the Sample Hold or Float Switch e.g. Min 52, Max 76 so centre value is 64. After a strong coffee and a think, it occurred to me that it was the centre value of the knob position i.e. 0.5, that I should be inputting.

Again thanks for your help guys 😀
