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 ...
