Currently, you can have only up to 16 values stored with $EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM. Unfortunately, my program is really complicated and needs probably double that for most events. I need the parameters so that I can communicate a lot of information between the NCB and the LCB (a lot of weird per-voice modulation stuff). I'm essentially trying to create a C struct for events... I can't do something with polyphonic variables (which are only visible in NCB/RCB anyways) because there will be many independent events fired within a single NCB call. The best solution I can come up with is as follows:
on init
declare polyphonic $new_id
declare polyphonic $tmp_idx
define MAX_VOICES := 500
declare %EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_16[MAX_VOICES] := (0)
declare %EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_17[MAX_VOICES] := (0)
declare %EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_18[MAX_VOICES] := (0)
...
declare %EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_50[MAX_VOICES] := (0)
end on
on note
ignore_event(EVENT_ID)
new_id := play_note(...)
// Note that next available spot will be the same in all arrays, so im just using CUSTOM_16.
tmp_idx := next available spot in %EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_16
set_event_par_arr(new_id, EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM, tmp_idx, 0)
EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_16[tmp_idx] := something
EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_17[tmp_idx] := something
EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_18[tmp_idx] := something
...
EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_50[tmp_idx] := something
end on
on listener
if EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM_35[get_event_par_arr(some_event_id, EVENT_PAR_CUSTOM, 0)] = something
// do something
end if
end on
Has anyone ever done this before? Any ideas for a more elegant/efficient solution? Thanks 😵
