Hi there!
I'm new to Synthmaker and just trying out things.
The project I'm working on, is making a virtual midi-controller for use with a touchscreen and a lightingdesk or lighting-software that receives midi.
It's like MonoTouchLive, but then dedicated for lighting-control.
I really like the faders of Jazzmutant Lemur and Dexter, because of the relatively "big" faderknob, excellent for touchscreens, and the visual feedback of the fader "filling" from the bottom to the faderknob with horizontal lines.
However, is there a way to create this in Synthmaker? I can't figure out how to make the fader fill up with those horizontal lines like in Jazzmutant.
Just connecting a level-meter with the fader and move the level-meter behind the fader doesn't work, I think the level meter needs an audio signal?

do you really want the lines, or do you simply want a box which gets bigger as you slide up?
because that is the basis of the Lemur system really, the visible bar .. the lines are decoration.
to make a box which grows you can make a really simple slider yourself, although there's probably one knocking around.
A mouse area connected to a multiplier which takes the height of the parent GUI module and multiplies it. The mouse modul can output in the range 0-1 and the gui may be 20 units tall .. as you move your mouse up the multiplier will increase up to the max-height of the parent GUI. IE 1*20 = 20 . 0.5*20 = 10
using a filled rectangle and a re-draw to make sure it updates when you move, you have a basic slider.
You can modify this to make it 'lined' although it would extend this post into the 'too long' department

DEXTERMINATOR SLIDER !!
Time ago, i decide create MIDI touchscreen controller for ABLETON, something like LEMUR without use lot of money : )
After search a lot arond the web i find the wonderfull SYNTHMAKER TOOL.
I not have idea how use the first days, but comunity helpme a lot with my project, specially ANGULAR MOMENTUM, he make a lot of things for me on my fisrt step, synthmaker its easy, but have knowledge curve and cant be skiped, .......Angular its the guy create for the first time this slider, really nice slider, after that other helpers like LEIF ODDSON helpme a lot correcting things, working with atraction adding more features, LEIF ODDSON 😍 its areally amazing GURU of SYNTHMKAER , Malc from Synthmaker helpme correcting cpu load with limiters, etc etc
The major credit of this knob its for this guys, i just make some bug fixes, correction ideas of new features, etc etc.
This slider its absolutly usefull for anyone want use slider with touchscreen, the slider have really usefull feature ATRACTION, and LEIF ODDSON make lot of corrections, on the slider based on my request, specially for have better work when move slider with touch screen.
Mr JeroenVDV welcome to this winderfull comunity and to this great software, i hoppe soon we can se your project working.
The comunity helpme a lot and now its time i start back that help to user like you : ) i hoppe you like this slider.
This slider not have exactly same visual of dexter, but you have the osm, with just a some work you can understand how this slider work, and how change all the image style.
I not send exactly same VISUAL slider i USE on MonoTouchLive due i are a little egoist jijiji, i want have that design only for my MonoTouchLife project jiji sorry 😈 anyway i think you saty more happy with this, due its more closer to waht you want.
I sugest dont try make exactly the same design or very very close design to dexter that can be considered palgiarism, or copyright broken etc etc.

i want add link on my MonotouchLive page : )
Note: Dexterminator name its just for fun : )

Wow!
Thank you all for the quick help. I'll check out the first posted files, I hope it'll help me understand all of Synthmaker. Of course the faders DJ-Grobe posted is exactly what I needed 🙂
The project will be free, I just have to start designing the front-panel layout. It has to be logic and "clean", but with enough features.
I'll keep you all updated!
Now I'm working with the demo, but I won't be able to finish this project in 30 days. I think that means I have to place an order 🙂
birdster ·
love the fader well done exactly what im looking for, anyone know how to make a horizontal version though that would make my day !
thanks
Dj-Grobe ·
I abck with horizontal soon, but not today i think.
Please anyone, use this in some project, sendme a link : ) i want put on LINK section i enable soon on my web page.
My english its bad, my native language its spanish, i apreciate if sombody can explain the fatures this slider have, due my english its bad, so its complex for me expalin that : )
OK, seems this slider emulates what we call "flying faders", which the slider rebounds to a previous setting.
Attraction Sensitivity is the speed the faders will change. (BTW, you have it misspelled).
transRate wireless is the the delay (I assume in MS) between the reset trigger & the actual moving of the knob.
--
I don't see what the switch does, or how to set-reset the values to the knob manually. Looks very sexy though!
Dj-Grobe ·
Switch disable atraction feature : )
Its for people want use this with touchscreen, disabling atraction you can reduce fader accidental move, with switch off, atraction not work and slider only can be moved draging the knob of slider : )
I need help with bouncing balls, i broke my head but cant emulate bouncing ball padd, where you can drag the ball and change the direction of move.
Infuzion can help with this?
Or somebody ? : )
I already have basic bouncing ball, but want bouncing can be stoped, and can move the ball and change the direction where tha ball go, and the speed depending how faster its draged, add friction etc etc.
If somebdoy can help with that, please tellme, this ist really complex to do : (
birdster ·
would still love to see a horizontal Dj-Grobe would be a great asset to my project.
Cheers
birdster ·
Ok i tried to make a horizontal version of this fader with the form of an horizontal arc and am getting now where fast hugely over my head !
And keep messing it up ! i dont suppose anyone had got anything simlar laying around, its got to be a horizontal arc and the atraction feature would be nice.
Thanks
Dj-Grobe ·
Birdster i back with the horizontal before next monady : )
patience : )
birdster ·
Great thanks Dj-Grobe, no worries 🙂
Dj-Grobe ·
Well i not have time tomorrow, saturday sunday and monday, so its done, now, with more nioce background grid 🙂
Anyway you can change and create your own decoration.
Just redownload, its done 🙂
Best regards.
birdster ·

Dj-Grobe ·
