mouse down pots
mouse down pots
Hi,
does anyone know how I can make a mouse down pot which has a mouse down action similar to a momentary button/switch?
The purpose is that I want the pots on a device to send a momentary val of 1 when they are clicked (not moved) & back to a val of 0 with the release of the mouse button.
Any ideas?

Hi Shroomz
yep this is very simple.
- load a button
- go to the var section and change function value to 4.
just try them out, its just 5 or 6 you can choose for various other tasks.
default is I think 2.
the same with the pots, where you can change the rotation handling.
up/down - rotate in cw, etc......

Hifiboom isn't too far off the mark, except I had more than 3 controls in mind (and no LCD). One of the main uses I can see for this type of control is for a parameter related paging system, where a page will update depending on the selected control.
I've tried adding a button but then the button is selected instead of the pot. You can make the button smaller in the centre of the cap and select either pot or button, but this isn't as intuitive as getting both click and movement responses from one control.
I can also get the paging to update from pot movement, but then you need to alter a parameter to get the page to update. This would be OK for an LCD type parameter update, but it's not ideal for what I had in mind.

@shroomz, i thought abou something like the lcd thing also some time ago.
where you have various knobs for different parameters and the one lcd display, that for example shows "size 30meteres" when you move the sizing knob on a reverb and "decay=20s" when you move decay time etc....
cleaning up the gui a bit.....
@neutron: so you got your long-awaited sdk license?
great! welcome back in the club ....

The orbitone syn chrome used to have that if i remember right, and it was one of the very first synths.
yes i got it.
What about multiple surfaces or panels? I was thinking more in terms of a visual trick utilizing z-order.
From my experience, the highlighted device comes visually at top.
Check my sketch.
Stipple lines are hidden, but the idea is that all panels share the same space ("screen"). And there could be a top border-layer if needed.
This can of course be expanded past three panels.
