Hi
I am really struggling getting to grips with param_ commands so thought I'd just ask

In the following script
<visual source="get_beat_counter" type="circle">
is there a way to add 1 to the value of 'get_beat_counter' ?
ie if 'get_beat_counter' is equal to 1, 'source' gets the value 2 etc

Thanks

& param_add -1

go to the first page of this thread, there's a link to a whole part on param_ manipulations.

If I understand what you are saying correctly I have modified my script to read

<visual source="get_beat_counter & param_add -1" type="circle">

however that doesn't appear to work, the result is a blank circle (i also copied that expression to a text zone action with the same result (blank), i'm not sure but is it because I am using 'get_beat_counter' rather then 'get var ....' that the script isn't performing the correct math.
I did read other pages of this thread to try & work it out but the scripts quoted were so long I am having trouble isolating the correct syntax for just adding 1 to a 'get' value,

oh right it's not direct number, more 0.0-1.0 represented
the minus sign was a purposeful error for you to figure out how to subtract with param_add

you want to add 1/32 or whatever your counter ceiling is, bear in mind when the counter hits the ceiling [actual without manipulation] you need to wrap round to zero

Hi
I've tried various things using your instructions (now on page 2 lol) and discovered that in a textzone I can create an action
action ="param_multiply get_beat_counter 16 & param_add 2" that will do what I want, when get_beat_counter is saying 1, the result is 2 etc up to 16=17.
However that won't work in a source= command, but I'm assuming now that the 'source' is expecting a value from 0-1, I will scratch my head to see how I can nudge it up by a factor so it 'appears' to be 1 ahead.

Hi
What I have been trying to do is change the beat circle, trying to adjust how the circle fills as the beat progresses cause I would prefer beat 1 to have 1/16 of the circle filled & beat 16 to be a full circle, so I have changed the visual to
"get_beat_counter & param_add 0.06249" (0.625 is 1/16 & I want 16 to be full not off)
It appears to work just wandered if anyone had a scenario that could mess this up.

I will test it & see how it goes & thanks for the help so far LOCODOG.
Thanks again

thanks, like
- get_text "`get_status`" & param_contains 'get_sampler_bank'
- virtualfolder_add ‘sampler/‘get_status’ ‘

is correct?

no, I have no idea how you think that will work, why you think status or contains has anything to do with this I don't know.

build a string variable

set temp `param_add 'get_sampler_bank' 'get_text "sampler/"'`

cast to the folder add

get_var temp & param_cast & virtualfolder_add

Hello. I apologize for the google translate. I'm interested in programming the brightness and blinking of single color pads. 1 Is it possible to make a dimmed brightness pad? 2 Is it possible to make the pad shine brightly when you press a one-color pad, and when you press the pad again, turn it off or make it dim in brightness? 3 Is it possible to make a one-color pad blink? action? blink 800ms? color 'color?' :color 'noncolor?' What colors can I use to make the pad blink with this script? I tried with different colors, the pad does not blink, or it shines constantly. 4 Is it possible to make a single color pad react to a slicer? slicer 1? color 'color?' :color 'noncolor?' or slicer 1 ? color 'color?' : color 'dimmed brightness?'. Again, what colors to use in these commands for one-color pads. Or is everything wrong and you need to use other commands to control the brightness and turn on the backlight of one-color pads? One-color pads are in inexpensive controllers, of which there are a huge number. Therefore, I want to figure it out and make the work on single-color pads more diverse. Thanks for answers.
