Edit Values

Eduardo Gamero

Is it possible to make a control remember a value and return automatically?

For example:

If (%CC[3] = 0)

Change values like these

$switch_1 := 1

$knob_1 := 6

$value_edit_1 := 87

And if (%CC[3] = 1)

All values return to 0 to edit again and do the same with (%CC[3] = 2) etc.

But when returning to (%CC[3] = 0)

Return the values as they were then.

It is possible.

It is a matter of managing storage of data in case you need to retrieve them later.

I say in case because you said "All values return to 0 to edit again" which is not clear why they would need to go to zero.

Still think that, as you presented, in the condition %CC[3] = 0 evaluating to true, you would need to retrieve 3 values, one for swtich_1, one for knob_1 and one for value_edit_1. So you need a way to store these 3 values neatly together. And you need 3 more for the condition %CC[3] = 1 and so on.

So you need 3 (values) times however many conditions you have. Let's say you have 3 conditions.

To store values together you usually use an array. In this case:

declare %skv_values [9]

%skv_values [0] := 1

%skv_values [1] := 6

%skv_values [2] := 87

%skv_values [3] := 0

%skv_values [4] := 7

%skv_values [5] := 89

{ ficticious values, for the sake of the example }

then later you would use, I believe in the controller callback:

if (%cc[3] = 0)

$switch_1 := %skv_values [0]

$knob_1 := %skv_values [1]

$value_edit_1 := %skv_values [2]

end if

if (%cc[3] = 1)

$switch_1 := %skv_values [3]

$knob_1 := %skv_values [4]

$value_edit_1 := %skv_values [5]

end if

which of course you would reduce to:

$i := 0

while ($i < 3)

if (%cc[3] = i)

$switch_1 := %skv_values [3*i + 0]

$knob_1 := %skv_values [3*i + 1]

$value_edit_1 := %skv_values [3*i + 2]

end if

inc($i)

end while

in this version of the code you can manage all possibilities from %CC[3] = 0 to 127 in one neat loop.

Ok... it's very well explained and it seems like it can help me, I'll try it right away, thank you very much.
