Aminated Knobs on Preset Change

Hi All

I am working on a change to the Knob component that will animate a knob to turn from its current position to the preset position on a preset change.

I have produced a schematic that gets part of the way there but have hit on a problem. The knob movement is very irregular and jerky instead of the smooth change I am after.

Here is the osm

To see the problem, turn the knob all the way to the right and then click the trigger.

I can't figure out what is wrong with the schematic. Is it to do with the redraw rate?

All help gratefully received!

Couldnt get anything out from your example, but if i understud correctly it should be something like this you are after: http://www.mkdr.net/synthmakerstuff/slideknob.osm

Look inside ADSR -> A knob -> Preset -> there's a primitive called Slide.

Sunsynth has already said it all - elegant and compact!

Thanks for sharing this one Matti.

I swear I have not seen the slide component in the toolbox before. Where did that come from?!

A nice one, now I have to find out how it works 🙂

Thanks for sharing

Oh, one more thing. If you are going to use that on your schematic there might be some performance issues. You might have to fine tune the Slide primitives Time and Rate inputs to reduce the redraws. I've been working on several graphics tricks that have to do with animation but theres always the issue with performance. Have fun working on it 🙂
