Hi Guys
Been on the road for work for the last few weeks and during my long hours of travel I had the chance to work on my synth project (which is very basic an not professional at all).
I run in to a problem that isn’t too much of a deal (easy ways to work around it) but I want to know just to develop my self in case I need something similar in the future.
I have use a normal knob Linked to a filter (very straight forward) I turn the knob as normal and everything works normal.
Now, I attached a second filter and a button to switch the attached knob between the two filters. But when I’m using the second filter and are switching back to the first filter (by using the button) the first filter “pops” from the old value it was on before I changed to the second filter to the present value the knob are on when I change back. I hope you get the picture.
So what I tried to do is a memo/trigger that stores the old value and stays on that value until I moving the knob. (With other words, I can jump between the filters without the change until I move the knob). I tried all sorts of Last value, trigger when equal and so on, but I always run in to the problem that the memory is not staying on the same amount when I push the button. Maybe I need to isolate it somehow, or where do I do wrong?
Sorry I don’t have any images attached (so much easier to show what I mean with pictures) but unfortunately I can’t upload things on my server from my work.
Many thanks in advance.

If you want to be able to actually store two different cutoff settings you should use two knobs as well and instead change which one that is shown.
You can do this by switching in and out GUIs, have a look here:

That’s the easy option I used, a good way to do it cuz you have full control all the way out to the GUI.
But as I said, I just wondered if there was another way cuz I may need it in non GUI things in the future and of course I try to learn something new to develop my self.
This isolating thing is a big hassle for me, I also tried the array first in first out thing, but I still hade the problem to make it work.
(Sorry if I don’t remember the names but I don’t have syntmaker on my work computer to see the proper names @ the moment).
The reason why that didn’t work was that if I push the button once it doesn’t remember it, it does remember it on the second push, this is hard to describe with out images but I think is due to I need a slight delay on the push to it so I gives the knob a chance to give some values.
Anyway, I’m grateful for any hints and tips and many thanks to you Stefan, you are fantastic on responses that are clear, spot on and easy to understand even for non programmers background such as me. 😀
More Hints and tips are more than welcome. 😇

How's this?

That looks more then promising.
I missed a little thing such the “NOT” module when I tried this way (of course didn’t work without a NOT module) 😊
I started to try other ways that I thought was better and ended up with loads of ideas but no success and it kind of started to frustrate me.
I think this will work fine but I will try it out during this weekend and come back to you about the results.
Once again, many thanks, you saved my synth newbie ass again. 😀
