Trouble with knob coding

Tristan Alexander

Okay so I know this is absolutely something I’m doing wrong but I’ve watched every video and read every post I can find and still can’t figure this out. I’m trying to assign an image to a slider in the scripting editor but so far I’ve had no luck with the image displaying or functioning properly. Attached below are images I think are relevant. Please help.

I am not at all a scripting expert (just some very basic knowledge) but some possible causes might be:

• You are using a horizontal image instead of a vertical
• You try to use a fader image on a place that you should use a knob image
• Your number of animations is wrong

By the way, the image with the knob looks like not relative at all! It might be a good idea to give a title on every image, to explain what is what. Either way, i'm afraid that you will not find much help on your case here. I hope i am wrong, but it looks like script experts are very few and they keep their secrets.

Thank you for the input! I have tried naming the files differently, for example the knob image and txt file as “Ponytail Bass Knob”, and nothing changed. I also usually use a vertical file and still had the same issue when I tried it here, but I believe the image can be horizontal as well, so I don’t believe that to be the issue. And I have triple checked that the animation number is correct and have tried many different values to try to eliminate that as the cause. I tried 30, 65, 100, and 126 animation frames, and nothing seemed to work there either. In the scripting for Kontakt you must use a slider because an image can’t be assigned to a knob. I really appreciate your input and you’re definitely on the same train of thought as me. Thank you for taking the time to try to help.

"30, 65, 100, and 126 animation frames"

But, you know, it is not a matter of trying. Every multi-image has a specific number of frames, and you must find the exact number, even if you have to count them manually. And it has to be a PNG image, not a JPG or other format.

Yeah sorry. That’s not what I meant. I meant I generated the png with a different number of frames and then updated the txt file accordingly to eliminate the possibility that the number of frames was the issue. That’s not the issue.

From the .txt file, provide a tenth blank line, empty.

My bad! When I had it horizontal I did have it as yes on the .txt. I must’ve made this post in the middle of a change. Sorry about that! But the blank line was the solution I was looking for. Thanks so much for trying to help out! Really appreciate it.
