Hi all,

the subject, or is possible to use the loop draw with a variable step?

thanks

you could certainly do with fleshing out your question. It's like answering a crossword puzzle.

Answer : arrays

you give me more of the question and I'll give you more of the answer !

thanks for the kind reply, <grin>

yeah I was running, all I need is to draw grid with many vertical lines but the space between the lines in not constant and moreover dynamic, stretchable, like ||| | | | | || || |||| | | | | ||| ||||| | | | | | | | | |

In that case I would store the separations in an array.

when the loop loops through the array it will retrieve the separations values instead of each distance being 1 (from the loop) the loop feeds the index of the array, which will return whatever values are stored there, for example

1,2,2,5,2,1,1,1,7,1 ..etc.

these will give your spacings you can then multiply those by your 'zoom' float after they are retrieved.

that's what I would do anyway 🙂

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
