Twiddly knobs

Post by richmond62 »

So, there I was playing with monoBristol (synthesizer emulator) on my Linux box [ http://sourceforge.net/projects/bristol/ ] when I thought what fun it
would be to try that sort of thing in Livecode [ admittedly NOT on Linux as sound is still fairly cacked with LC + Linux ].

Then I came up against this sort of problem:

and wondered how one would implement rotary, twiddly knobs in Livecode . . .

I believe you'll be able to lift whatever code you need from my radioDialOmatic utility. But remember, I'm not a real programmer!

Yes that would be neat.
In other words be able to import graphic strips like created with Knobmaker.
Like you can use in Flowstone(former Synthmaker) from DSProbotics.
And then also be able to use the VST sdk would be even greater, so we can build synths !

Unfortunately your radioDialOmatic utility seems to have vanished off the radar.

Please can you direct us to somewhere where we can download it?

It's a work in progress, but here is the latest iteration of my RadialDialOmatic stack:

I've created an LiveCode 8 widget called TenKnotchKnob. I'll probably put it on the extension store (free) soon... I might add a few different looks to it and possibly add arbitrary min / max values (so it's a 360-knotch knob).
