Im playing with the graphic system in SDK right now and it has been years since last time I was playing around - but I seem to have some problems with the movement and parameter range of the pots.
The only range I can get is the standard one :
Range : [ 7 -> 8 -> 9 -> ........... 4 -> 5 ]
But I would appreciate if someone could help me out with the following ranges :
Not an expert, but watching at bmp knob stripes they are always a row of all the positions from the first to the last. Changing this range should provide what you need. I'm just guessing....
Ehm - I have no idea what you're talking about?!?!?!?
The clocks images at the top of this topic are only for demonstration purpose - the graphics for the device is shown just above and doesn't contains any 360 degrees pots.

Nope - The standard moverment will always start at 7 o'clock and end at 5 o'clock - no matter what graphics (or value range). And will jump from max to min/min to max through 6 o'clock. Atleast on my system.

Yes, but how do you get exact 6 o'clock if there is no image for that. As far as I remember the standard animations don't have 6 o'clock.
If you make new graphics & have lets say all positions of 360 degrees (What I meant was 12 hours ) as an extra frame, the animation simply may start with the frame of your choice and end with the frame of your choice.
I'm quite sure that it's a graphical = pot-animation problem, not anything to adjust in sdk. Sorry for being cryptic before-I had a phonecall in parallell

Nope - that's not the solution - my problem is not the frames.
My problem is the circular movement that starts at 7 o'clock and ends at 5 o'clock. I want the circular movement to start at 12 o'clock and end at 9 o'clock for my in/out pots.
But where do you get the missing 6 o'clock frame? It's simply not there, so you need one.
As soon as you have a 6 o'clock frame (let's say the frames arround 6 o'clock) you can arrange your frames in the order you need the animation to be played.
you would need to render a knob whith as many steps you want, starting with a keyframe of start position and end position. number of pictures should correspond to the control steps you intend to use, i.e. a standard knob would be 128 images with a knob rotation from 7 o'clock to 5 o'clock. thats the only way your graphics will interact precicely.
For your 12 to 9 animation you would need a keyframe at 12 and one at 9, which represents 270 degrees. frames you render in between is dependant on how many controlsteps you are going to use. stupid example; if tha AMS lfo dial was stepped, you woud render 10 images. if you were to use the full CC range, 128 images should be rendered.
as for interaction with code i dont know if you are going to filter CC values or use the full range, so if you were to filter out 1/3 of the steps, you would need to filter out 1/3 og the frames in the knob animation as well (i mean render just 96 steps).
This probably doesnt help but i was just thinking out loud.
Yes - they both work - but the input pot behaves strangely since it should have used another movement range - ie not the "7 o'clock to 5 o'clock" movement as it do now.
Im not talking about value ranges but about the circular movement behavior - the black marker on the input pot should follow the mouse pointer just like the width pot do.
Warp, this works perfectly here. Really the movement is exactly from 12-9. I just had to invert it, because it was from 9-12 before. There must be some stupid error, something overseen. Exchange the project & I bet it'll work. Or I am totally stupid. It works exactly after your clock-demonstration 12-9 - wonderful. Nice knobs b.t.w.
To make it clear: The node (black marker) starts at 12 (on top of the pot) and moves around till it comes to 9 at the left side...

Yes - but where do you place your mouse pointer to get the black marker at 3 o'clock? On my system its around 11 o'clock to get the marker at 3 o'clock. I would have appreciated that the marker followed the mouse pointer, so if I wanted the marker at 3 o'clock, I had to move the mouse pointer to 3 o'clock. Just like the width pot.
) as an extra frame, the animation simply may start with the frame of your choice and end with the frame of your choice.
