This might be an old topic but... I found some info on the forum but nothing recent.

There still seems to be a problem with the slide component and midi. It doesn't work in a compiled VSTi when the float input comes in via midi . Has anyone found a work around?

Thanks

PS-Still can't stop playing with SM. Too cool. Thanks guys for all of the updates.

The problem still exists and not just with VSTs but within SM as far as I can tell. If you hook a tick25 to the input of the slide it 'works' but that's a bit much.... the problem is that it's not recognizing a trigger that comes out of MIDI even if there are intervening components.

It seems there will be no fix until the new event system is ready:

I've thrown together a ticker100 based version that doesn't use the slide at all. But it's interrupted by mouse events... so it's not really any more useful.

Still it was fun and I thought I'd put it up.

There is actually a solution to this. It's not the ideal solution but it's not bad. See the thread below:

Using timers with MIDI

(this shows timers being triggered but the same applies to the Slide component)

Thanks Oddson. Cool ticker. I'm going to play around with that.

Thanks Malc. I remember reading this but forgot about it. I'll play with that too.

I also created a little ducker circuit, using the slide, that mutes audio while green data is being input. What's the best way to put up a file?

Thanks Malc, the dethreader works. [/url]
