Another post from me, this was actually a request: a slider with inertia functionality.

Along with a plenty of graphic and data management options available in the Properties panel, it also is possible to choose between the REAL or INERTIAL Ratio output.

Ciao Ciao, Andrea

Nota Bene! (Watch out!): inertia uses the "Slide" component and green Ticker100 sources, so that particular option (a WYSIWYG...) is def NOT suitable for automations in hosts. Otherwise choosing "REAL" output you can automate and render regardless of slowdowns graphics may have.

Nice stuff, moving that sliders is addictive. 😉

Great work Andrea!

I like the way you build it up!

I also like that you added a "comment" with date and the CREATOR'S Name!

This is really helpfull later (adding some notes etc.)

P.S: Is there a chance that you add a R-Click action?! (Or Hint's how 2 add this?)

Thank you guys!

To my knowledge dragging is only available with the left button in SynthMaker, don't know if it belongs to a Windows limitation or is a SM deliberate choice... anyway you can of course link to the mouse area connector and add some clicking actions... 🙂

I think I've got a custom drag module somewhere on my machine that you could make work with RMB - will have a look for it 😉

Sounds nice, looking fwd to it! 😀

Knowing your skills, it must be coded or ASMd too.. 🙂

I'm afraid to say it won't work 😊 it's been ages since I looked at that module heh! Might well post it up anyways though, I made it so I could have vertical motion on knobs as usual, but also horizontal motion for fine-tine. Just like the Ohmforce knobs 😉

it's alright, we'll stay with this.. 😉

Really nice work.

Please can helpme with inertia? I just need something act like inertia for apply to knob float output. If move the knob, teh float output from knob increment or decement from 0 to 1 with adjutsable inertia, but inertia is just for float out, i not need inertia on graphic. Just module F in F out, and act like inertia. I cant figure how do that ...lol If can help i apreciate., if cant ..NP : )

Yes, it's exactly how this slider works, with floats delaying graphics, with the additional option of sending the slided value to VST prest or send the mouse moves instead. You can select this option opening the Properties window. Then if you open the OSM you can have an idea how I realized it, if it's not clear, pm me I'll be glad to help... A.

grazie! 😇

Very cool.

Could do with inertial dampers though.

I think the wink means it's a Star Trek joke.

ha ha ha oddson - you may be right but...

maybe his idea was a log behaviour not the current linear...?

ah ok well you can use them to absorb an xy speed of an object and have, i.e. an item "braking" to a specific point on the screen, or other "proximity" tricks... merge with your XY pad and have the joystick turn back to the centre position...... lots of things to do....before trekkers' shield...

GaryG ·

yeah, star trek joke... 🙂

seriously, the stuff you're proposing sounds really interesting. I really like the idea of implementing your ideas into an xy pad.

Hi, Walter, you mean the oscillation of values around a specific one? I think it's possible but requires the setting up of at least two forces opposing one another... we're going into Maya-like stuff.. mmh...

The First link is dead.

posh ·

man i thought the dampers was referring to the dampers and decay filters used with vvvv.

Dj-Grobe ·

Hey acrobat! your links are dead! Can fix?
