Hi!

First: I don't use the most actual S|M version... so may be it is fixed already.

In the attached schematic I have 2 versions of a "float to int ceiling". One uses the normal selector with multiple inputs, the other uses the selector with true/false input. When you start typing a float in the left input like "1.1" you can see that the true/false version doesn't work. It looks like it doesn't get the trigger in the right moment, because when you refresh the schematic (eg. click on an input connector) it gets the right value. It is not an connection order problem, I tried many different orders.

Thanks Maik

Confirmed with 1.1.3 beta3 also. Updates with integers, but not decimals.

Take out the sample and hold, and for me all works fine. why do you need the sample and hold anyhow?

MyCo ·

it is needed to prevent calculation of previous stuff everytime you change something behind the module. Although if the S&H causes the problem, it is still a bug 😈

Hi MyCo,

it's a very old int switch bug i mentioned malc before... The changed trigger is missing!

MyCo ·

And what did he say? That's a real neck breaker... I search for a bug in my schematic and it wasn't my mistake. It just doesn't work the way it should do.

He asked 4 a setup like yours but i had no time and forgot it later... I helped here 1-2 years ago a newbie with the hint 2 use a selector instead...

btw: The Mutiplexer has probs with Booleans i think...

Got problems with this too...I suspect a lot of the folder select module headaches are also originating from this module. It just doesn't trigger when it changed a value for some reason, but not in every situation I think. After changing the vst string module with the work around from RL in KickLab I end up with a sample selector with a value of -2147483648...don't know where that is coming from....reaheaheally weird.

Here check this screencap vid out...the int element is just after the int switch.

I've been noticing that sometimes Selectors don't push values though on my 1.1.3b6, but perhaps it was always like that? For instance, I have a Selector picking between a non-connection & 2 Float Arrays. The output diverges into 2 math formulas, both of which & a pass-through go into another Selector, which feeds an Out. The final output never seemed to reach its destination until I attached an extra trigger to the Out.

SM's whole anti-feedback thing is driving my crazy sometimes...

Is the Selector sucking up triggers also? It seems to be in one of my schematics...

sunsynth ·

yup... I often have 2 add 'changed'-trigger-moduls 2 the selector ins...

I think it was like that before Infuzion, I went back to the latest offical release and still had these troubles.

Right now, I have to put it on the Selector's Index, & after the Selector's output. I might have my link order wrong, but...

...AM is right

@Inf: It depends. show me this part with the probs if u like!
