I got stuck with my first scripting project

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi there...My name's Ezequiel, from Brazil...First of all, I wanna thank in advance for taking the time to help me with this... I tried to my limits to finish this without help, but unfortunately i got stuck with my first scripting project.

To shorten my story, I've been using kontakt as my vst instrument for over 10 years, but this time I decided to venture myself with scripting to create the following projetc:

A multitrack kit that will be triggered by a pad controller with knobs that will control the volumes of each track for each song, as shown on the picture bellow

so each pad will correspond to a song...

So far I managed to load and declare the songs fine, and even got to the part where the knobs do control the volumes for the separate parts, and thats where I got Stuck

....

I can only use the knobs for the first Song(pad), and I need for each Knob to control the part for all songs... i.e: Vocal knobs to control all vocal groups...

Here is the script I made so far

set_ui_height_px(500)

I hoped by now I'd get an answer... but as the french say...c'est la vie

You have four volume sliders controlling the volume of groups 0, 1, 2, and 3 (BATERIA, INSTRUMENTAL, BAIXO, and VOCAL). Maybe your other songs are not in those four first groups?

Zeek Souza

well its exactly my issue... i've 16 groups for each isntrument (16 BATERIA, 16 INSTRUMENTAL, 16 BAIXO, and 16 VOCAL) and I need to assing The 4 Knobs to control the volume all 16 corespondent samples...(i.e.: BATERIA knob will control the volume of all 16 BATERIA groups)... and so on.... can I achieve that?

Thanks for the resnponse, by te way!!!

medusa

So for each, you need to loop through all the groups that you need to change. We usually do this with a counter variable and a while loop.

So for set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_VOLUME,$VOCAL, 3 ,-1,-1), where it currently says "3" (the group choice) you need to use your variable and do something like this.

$counter := 0
while ($counter < 16)
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_VOLUME,$VOCAL, $counter ,-1,-1)
inc($counter)
end while

But the problem you might see right away here is that this changes the FIRST 16 groups, from group 0 to group 15. So that might not be how your instrument is structured.

You could go back and structure your instrument so that group 0-15 was all the vocals, 16-32 was all the Baixa, etc. But you could also do it a couple of other ways.

If the structure of your instrument is such so that every fourth group is correct, you could do something like this, jumping 4 groups each time:

$counter := 0
while ($counter < 64)
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_VOLUME,$VOCAL, $counter ,-1,-1)
$counter := $counter + 4
end while

You would need to make sure you start at the correct place for each set.

A third way is using an array to define the set of groups for each type, ie. %array_baixa[16]. Define the array with the correct collection of group numbers, and use the counter to step through the array like this:

$counter := 0
while ($counter < 16)
set_engine_par($ENGINE_PAR_VOLUME,$VOCAL, %array_baixa[$counter] ,-1,-1)
inc($counter)
end while
