Nice!

I know why you spotted the Pen bug now 😉

Thanks global goon 🙂

Wtf! I love it!

Agh.

May I derive my own knob out of it and use this in my synth? 🙂

global goon · 4 Apr 2005

yeah sure, most of the schematic is based on the sliders from example.osm, i just applied it to arcs

nice knob global goon, thanks!

is there a current bug with pen widths? I can't get this knob to display correctly in 0.9.3? The orange line is 10x too thick.

thanks s

Hi sluggo,

There was a bug that caused the pens not to scale properly. This was fixed a few releases ago. When global goon created his Ableton style knob he had to fudge the pen width to get round the bug. I had meant to post an updated schematic but other things have been taking priority.

It's pretty easy to fix, just find where the pen width is set and change it to 0.2 or 0.3 I think.

great, 0.3 works like a treat. once again "thanks"

this doesn't seem to work with 9.0.3r... no knob just the label displays.

i tried benos widgets earlier too and got a 'not compatible with this version' message, are there issues with graphic handling etc. in this release?

The way redrawing is done changed, that's an old schematic, it's possible to fix it with just a few changes.

When you try to load a schematic that was made with a version of SM more recent than the one you have you get that message. The latest version is 0.9.3t: [old link]

Here's a fixed version of the schematic: [old link]

heheehe. If I ever decide to take up that whole "Operator as a VSTi" thing, I'll have a headstart! 😉

Ah, I knew that, I just didn't realise there was a later version... You're getting hard to keep up with! 🙂

Thanks a lot, Gary.
