Hi folks,
The responses to all my queries so far have been extremely fast and I really owe the people on this list a lot! I hope someone gets back to me on this as fast!
I am working on a virtual mixer and have managed to control it wirelessly through TouchOSC for android.
What I'm trying to do now, is control a set of 16 faders (vsliders) using only 8 faders on the TouchOSC mixer layout. Essentially, I need to switch between banks of 8 faders on the screen and control them using the same 8 faders on the layout on my phone.
For test purposes, I created a simple patch where I used a toggle object to help rout one vslider's (vsl1) movement to either of 2 other vsliders (vsl2 and vsl3). Basically, if the toggle is off, then the vsl1 sends to vsl2, if toggle is on vsl1 sends to vsl3. Now using this same toggle (since I'm going to use the same button on my layout on the phone to control the toggle) I need to rout these two vsl's values back to the vsl1. This causes an endless loop, because each is feeding the other.
This functionality of sending back to vsl1 from vsl2 or vsl3 is essential since that is how motorized faders work. If you switch between banks of faders, then the motorized faders have to rearrange themselves to the levels of the faders you've currently switched to.
How can I simulate this first of all, using just these vsliders? Secondly how would I accomplish the same thing using ctlout? I guess the solution to the first one would lead to the solution to the second one.
Help!
Thanks, Rishabh
