This is kinda weird A list with 4 entries outputs from 0 to 3 ,so entrie 1 = 0 , entrie 2 =1 etc…
When controlling the list from a knob ( range 0-3 ) through internal connection , the output of the list is reversed
Doesn't make any sense
Indeed, Reaktor's approach may seem anti human at first, but we can change our thinking. I think it's the default numerical value added to the list that causes confusion for you. I think the list actually means that the elements at the bottom are indexed earlier, for example, in the example above, the order is list ->one ->is ->this. Assigning numerical values to each element is only for output needs, and they can be modified to any numerical value.
Yes, it seems odd. It does make sense if you think about it though…
….the highest 'top' value on the knob is 1, the lowest is 0
the highest 'top' element on the list is the first element…. to knob clockwise is the top most element. that's the 'sense'
I agree with you that intuitively it should be the other way round, but different folk can have a different intuition, often that's a cultural thing too, based on language and stuff…
If you want a fix, you can wire the knob into an IC send, then connect that to the list, you then need to reverse the values in the knob properties, then it will work the way you want.
The extra cost of an IC send is not worth worrying about in the context of a GUI element, GUI stuff is as close to free as it's possible to get in Reaktor :)… (unless they fire an event which iterates over thousands of multi-picture objects… :))
Yeah makes sense
