How to generate values from dragging on a matrixctrl?
Is it possible to drag on a connection in a matrixctrl to produce more than just 0 and 1? In particular, is there a way to have a dial on each connection to control the gain of that connection or do I have to implement those dials separately from the matrixctrl and overlay?
Now I understand your username (grin)
I already experimented with dialmode, which according to the docs is a toggle. When I set it to 1 I could then drag between the discrete values 0 and 1.
However I am trying to use non-binary mode to control the gain at each connection so need to generate continuous values between 0.0 and 1.0, if I'm understanding matrix~ correctly.
Clearly I could do this by creating a matrix of my own dials and have them generate the appropriate 3-value lists but I thought that functionality was built in.
Yeah, I did notice I could put higher values in but it was screwing up the image and I realized I'd have to create all new images.
Ultimately, I decided it would be easier to throw out the matrixctrl object and just put together a rectangle of dials to generate the row/col values as well as the gain. That had the extra benefit that I was able to transpose the coordinate system so that the rows are outputs and the cols are inputs ---- similar to how the old EMS Putney matrix system worked.
I have it working quite nicely now but I really appreciate the feedback from everyone (and no, I don't take offense easily :-)
Thanks --- I had found earlier references but had found that many attachments were missing so it was hard to actually figure out what others had done.
