[sc-users] a convenience class for using CVs (in Patterns or elsewhere)

["Stefan Nussbaumer (SC list)" <stefanus@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi everybody,

i'd like to share a tool that i've made for myself but maybe others find it useful too ...
i'm working with patterns quite a lot and while doing so i also like to have the possibility to embed sliders, knobs or midi-controls ... this is all possible though it requires you to write extra code.
CVCenter allows you to embed all necessary code for generating a slider or a midi-controller into your pattern (just like e.g. a Pseq in a Pbind). i've played around with my class for a while now - i think it's quite solid. Although i'm basically happy about the class i'm already thinking about improvements:

• though the widgets contained in the gui regroup themselves when the window gets resized ir's still a bit spacious - perhaps i could add a possibility to divide certain widgets into groups
  
• there are 2 ways of interacting with CVs (CVCenter is basically a collection of CVs - you need install the Conductur quark): a Knob and a NumberBox. however, it would be useful if other possibilities (e.g. 2d-sliders) could feed more than 1 CV at a time.
• the midi-setup is preliminary: for now there are 2 (global) settings
• 0 - for midi-sliders whose output is 0-127
• 1 - for in-/decremental output (e.g. on a doepfer pocketdial which outputs 64 +/- in-/decrement - have a look at the helpfile for details on this)
  

i know my doepfer-pocketdial isn't really state of the art, it's just what i have at the moment. but perhps there are other devices that should be considered. i have too little information on how they're set up but i'd certainly be willing to implement other options if needed or wanted.

anyway, comments are welcome ...

stefan
