Surface design Question

Post by winger »

I looking at using something like the EQ 4 pm 12 db parametrinc eq in a module. It has 12 knob and 12 text controls and a frequency graph. I understand how to extermalize all the controls, but how do I get the graphic display to appear in the surface of my device, resized if possible?

In the EQs subtree there is a "panel". You will need to put this under your main devices subttreeand have them share the same SurfaceInterface. You can also have the EQ panel show up by the push of a button. It all comes down to the design.

Personally, I would rather just delete the EQs panel and SurfaceInterface and make my own controls, but it really depends on your situation.

This parametric EQ can be also found panel-less in the dsp list.

You can also save the EQ Display from the Parametric EQ as a new module from the Project Explorer (via right-click/save), then save it somewhere in your Surface Design folder like a new folder called 'Curves' for example. Then you'll be able to load the EQ Display whenever you want & connect up the relevant pads such as F1, Q1, G1 etc. To edit the size and appearance you can select the individual elements within the GOTree.

Hope that helps.

cheers,

I have been idle for a while but am now back on this project. I have been able to get the eq graph from the 4 band peq into my device both by moving the graph up in the tree, and by saving the graph as a module, then loading it in to my device. The problem is the device works great in the sdk, but when I save it as a device, and load it in sfp 4.5, the graph does not show up. http://forums.planetz.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=28174

I cannot figure out why. I tried z-order, top, bottom flags etc. Shroomz, you suggested the saving of the graph idea but that does the same behavior. Any idea why I am having this problem?

The alternative would be to build a graph from scratch. But , I have no idea how to build a graph like this from scratch or I would try it. Anyone know how to do that?
