Using the mouse area and the multidisplay port to control different parameters on Reaktor

Check my ensembles 'modal bank 32 'in the user library or clonetonic , or chebby shaper which also uses the mouse area to control partials

If you want the mouse area to sweep through partials (while holding the mouse down ) there is a lot of work and it is pretty difficult , this is not beginners level .

This is where reaktor falls short , in contrast to max msp where you have build in multisliders that are mouse sweep ready , in reaktor you have to build these from scratch .

Mouse area is X/Y, for partials the obvious mapping is X=partial ID, Y=partial amplitude.

It's possible to map out the X/Y plane for more parameters, e.g. one per corner, but then you limit possible combinations, so in the context of modal synthesis, that doesn't make so much sense.

Are you asking how to set up a separate mouse area to control other parameters?

In that case, you just need to map the X and Y coordinates to the ranges of those particular parameters. Just simple scale and offset arithmetic should do the trick. or adding curves isn't much harder.

Please try to explain more clearly exactly what you are trying to do - specifically

Still unclear!

That's the problem with programming, everything needs to be explicitly defined, so when someone is stuck, it's hard to help unless they are very specific about exactly what they want to happen. You obviously have some mental picture of how you want things to happen, but we don't get to see that, only the words you write.

Do you mean that the user would click on the x/y pane, and the Y position would set a destination (whatever that means), and the X position would set a clock divider for triggers?

OK, so you need a value module for X and Y, and use the mouse button output as the trigger for the value module. Then you have an x value and a y value each time the mouse is clicked.

Then you just map the range to whatever parameter you want to set using multiplication and addition...

Something like this should get you started:

The merge from BL and Db is so that double clicks just register as single clicks, otherwise if you click fast, you lose clicks.

The separator is so that releasing the mouse button doesn't cause a trigger.

The four modules x, y, x btn, y btn are all numeric displays

That's a separate problem that has nothing to do with mouse area. Maybe that's the reason for the confusion earlier in the thread?

So it's a case of start again explaining in detail exactly how this is suppose to function ;)

e.g. how you might route a sequence of trigs depends on the context, the source of the trigs, if they hold different values or not, a whole bunch of details are missing. How are they generated, how will the destinations use them, and what for. Will different destinations use them in different way. How will the routing be defined - user input, hard coded, automatic based on other parameters...

You need to think about the details. Then maybe you will solve it yourself ;)
