Question On Slider control.

[attic]

Thanks for taking a look. This is probably really simple to do but I would like to know the correct way of doing it. On the attached .osm I wanted those up and down arrow buttons to increment the sliders visual Position and output by increments of one. Also considering the slider uses a float what is the best way to lock the increment's by 1? Could someone show me the right way to do this?

Hi there,
I think this is now doing what you want...

Not much to change...
- I connected up the 'External Set' connection that you were working on (Preset section) - so that it feeds to the input side of the VST Preset prim'. Note that when it comes out of the counter, it is adjusted by a copy of the 'To 0-1' module, to make sure that the preset value is in range for the host. The value then gets sent to the GUI in the same way that a change of preset would do it, using the existing wireless links.
- There's a new 'AutoRec Buttons' transmitter from the buttons to the VST Preset - so that when the button is pressed, the counter values will record the changes as automation, the same way that mousing the slider would. Watch the link order here - it's important that the boolean goes true before the counter is triggered; otherwise the counter changes will be missed by the auto recorder.

NB) Not tested with a VST host etc. - so have a play and let me know if I have got it right!

Well that was elegant and simple, I definitely need some sleep. That was making my eyes water trying to figure how it should happen, its always those small things late at night that stump me. Thank You.

Nice slider control.

Would be possible to add a mouse related option to these arrows?
On "click-and-hold" on arrow - one counter change, pause, continuous (stepped) change at some speed.

@Tester I think all of those things are very doable, I don't have a ton of time right now but I will try to put something together for you. Feel free to use any of it you want. Do me one favor, give me one more explanation of what you need so I get it right.

Hey

A very useful thing for arrows would be this. When you click on arrow and hold mouse button: one step change, then small pause, and then multistep auto-change. Maybe after another few seconds - faster progression or bigger steps.

It's a gui optimization related supportive mechanism, where knobs or sliders cover higher range of values, and arrows allow to navigate in microtuning range, without clicking too much.

Hi!
The concept is here;

download the Digital Display with Buttons.osm
Should be adjusted only to slider and of course values.

Cheers!

Thanks, exactly like that!

Well here is a first try, it works but in the up arrow direction it is incrementing more than one value on a single click. The down direction works. Maybe somebody could look to see where I have gone wrong. @tester In any case this may get you closer to where you want to be.
