Is there a way to get a read out from the movement of a knob to a label, for the front panel GUI.
I know about doing it via Mono Read component, but I am trying to stay away from using it because I am only working with MIDI and absloutely no sample rate data speed stuff is required.
I have had a look thru' the Forum but couldn't see anything to do what I am asking.
Maybe I need to accept that is the only way to do what I am asking, just thought some of you boffins out there might know better.
Thanks 🙂

You could modify the "label" module so that it has a string input instead of a string property. Hook up a redraw component to this string input as well, and then you can feed whatever value you want to it.

Many thanks Stefan.
I kind of thought that there would be a way of doing this with the Label module, but as usual it baffled me a bit to even try.
I'll give it a go now that you've given me a pointer or two.
Thanks again 😀
EDIT: I think a course in thinking with logical creativity would help me because it turned out to be quite easy to implement once the pointer from Stefan was offered.

I don't think a course will teach you this... luckily I think you already have these atributes and just had a momentary lapse. Or at least that's what I always claim when I miss the obvious.
BTW - there are some examples of output labels on the forum. One in particular from infuzion comes to mind (look for the posting by Stefan for an OSM file link that's still valid).
One last thing. The format component can be really helpful in getting the numeric values to stop jumping around as the number of displayed decimals changes.
