Tópico: Button Activated By Slider Position

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

I would like to have a button activate (work) only if a slider fader is in a certain position.

EX: If I press a button on my mixer, I do not want the button to activate unless the channel 1 fader is at the 50% position or greater.

Thanks in advance,
Clay

On the slider : "slider action & param_greater 50% ? set 'OKtoGo' 1 : set 'OKtoGo' 0"
On the button: "var 'OKtoGo' ? button action : nothing"
 
Thanks again PhantomDeeJay!
You Da Man!

In the future, please post mapping related issues in the Hardware Forums, and not in the Skins one.

Thank you.
 
Sorry MOD, I will remember for future.
I am still having a problem, hopefully I can finish solving it here?

PhantomDeeJay (or anyone);
After trying out the strings that you sent, it does not work.
When I press the button, the players just sit there no matter what position the fader is in.

I used your syntax modified like this:
On the slider : "volume & param_greater 50% ? set 'OKtoGo' 1 : set 'OKtoGo' 0"
On the button: "var 'OKtoGo' ? play : nothing"

Using the above syntax, when I press the button, one of the players should play if the fader is above 50% (and not play below 50%), but nothing happens.

If I change the button syntax to:
"var 'OKtoGo' 0 ? play : nothing" -or-
"var 'OKtoGo' ? play : play"
Then one of the players will play, but will still not respond to the position of the slider.

Any idea's?

Thanks again,
Clay
 
if you are using the fader and the opposite sides button you need to make the variable '$global'

param_greater 50% ? set '$OKtoGo' 1 : set '$OKtoGo' 0"

... I wish I read the post properly, I just made an awesome gif to help you, but it's completely wrong for what you want LOL

I'm still gonna post it though cause it looks sick! ;-)



that would be this though

param_smaller 50% ? deck left action : param_greater 50% ? deck right action : nothing
 
Slider:
deck 1 volume & param_greater 50% ? deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 1 : deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 0

Button:
deck 1 var_equal 'VolumeLock' 1 ? deck 1 play : nothing


If the above code does not work then for the slider only you can try this:
deck 1 volume value & param_greater 50% ? deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 1 : deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 0
 
Still no luck guys.
Nothing happens when I press the button no matter what position the fader is in.

Once again,deck 1 will play if I change the button var code to "0" instead of "1";
"deck 1 var_equal 'VolumeLock' 0 ? deck 1 play : nothing" ,or if I change it to;
"deck 1 var_equal 'VolumeLock' 0 ? deck 1 play : play"
But button will still work no matter if the fader is in the 0%, 50%, 100%, or anything in between position.
It looks like the first part of the slider code is not being read, and its only responding to the "set 'VolumeLock" 0' command.

I also tried your alternate slider code;
deck 1 volume value & param_greater 50% ? deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 1 : deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 0
Which also did not work.

What else can I change in the code?

PS: Nice GIF Synthet1C! :)

Thanks again,
Clay
 
Try these for the slider:

deck 1 volume & param_greater 128 ? deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 1 : deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 0

deck 1 volume & param_greater 0.5 ? deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 1 : deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 0

deck 1 volume value & param_greater 128 ? deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 1 : deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 0

deck 1 volume value & param_greater 0.5 ? deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 1 : deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 0


The button code should remain the same...
 
Oops, sorry guys for the last note.
After further troubleshooting, I found the problem.

PhantomDeeJay, the last code that you sent does work fine! :)

In addition to your code, I had to make input/output changes to the midi settings for the channel fader on my mixer.

The code works great now!

Thanks again!
Clay
 
Can you tell us which one was the "right" code?

Thanks!
 
The code that worked was;

Slider:
"deck 1 volume value & param_greater 50% ? deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 1 : deck 1 set 'VolumeLock' 0"
Button:
"deck 1 var_equal 'VolumeLock' 1 ? deck 1 play : nothing"

On the Behringer 4000 mixer, each channel can be individually assigned for midi.
On my mixer, channel faders 1&2 needed to be midi enabled and midi unmuted (it is possible to mute midi out).

Works great with your code!
Thanks again, you have been a great help!
