Faders&XYs template

Post by Softcore »

After a discussion I had via PMs with a forum member about something he wanted - asked, here is a simple template of 8 midi mappable faders and a set of 4 XY pads which can then be "linked" to any of the faders.

Besides the usual physics mode I have also incorporated the "Gravity" mode - when enabled, the "ball" of the multiball object moves in relation to the orientation of the iPad - further more "reset 0 gravity point" pads can help you if you are placing your iPad in a tilted orientation and you still want to use gravity mode.

features:
- XY pad ranged output via independent X/Y sliders
- XY pad physics mode with speed and inertia settings
- XY pad Gravity Mode with amount setting (weight)
- XY pads Lock axis feature
- color coded mini display in "faders" page displays the current position of the XY pads and their movement (if any)
- a duplicate-assignment prevention system for the XY pads - if the user tries to map an XY pad's axis to a fader which is already mapped to a different pad, the operation is not allowed.
- Physics,Gravity Mode or Lock status is immediately visible with a small "active" led when they are active

Its a pretty basic template which can also be used to get ideas fro your own scripts or study some scripting aspects.

This is very nice and I've managed to modify it without completely screwing it up, to have 16 faders and a small keyboard (i'll post it here shortly). What I havent figured out is the gravity mode. currently the ball moves "up" - a la reverse gravity, and I cant figure out why this is so. Im guessing it has something to do with this

if (!Settings.GravEnable.x) return;
x += tan(acc_y-init_y)*0.02*Settings.Grav.g;
y -= tan(acc_x-init_x)*0.02*Settings.Grav.g;

in the action of the multi ball ...

Hmmmm, I dont get that here......Try hitting the "gravity 0 point". This sets the 0 gravity orientation of the iPad....
