Never mind....figured it out by following an earlier thread on the topic (thanks once again to Softcore!)

Once again trying to figure out some script language.
So you've demonstrated how to cause a switch, pad, custom button, menu...each to change tabs in a separate container. But what about a knob? I have knob which sends Midi CC 60 for a range of 0-127. I want it to change tabs in a separate container if the CC range is between 0-41, 42-96, 97-127. As I scroll through the knob range, I want it change tabs depending on where the CC value is.
So I figure its an "if" and "else if" type of script. Something like: If val x = (0-41) selecttab (container, 0); else if val x = (42-92) selecttab (container, 1);
I think I'm close....but I cannot get it to work.
Any advice please...
: )

Yup you got the logic right but you 've missed a tiny detail. x is always a number between 0 and 1 - it then gets multiplied (internally in Lemur) by 127 so that the midi output gets a range of 0 to 127 (
notice in the midi mappings window the, active by default, "scale, 0 to 127").
So, to make the same thing in your script:
Code: Select all
if (x*127<=41) selecttab(Container, 0);
else if (x*127<=92) selecttab(Container, 1);
else selecttab(Container,2); //this is the last range, 93-127//

Ahhh...that's perfect. Thank you so much. I would not have figured the "x*127" out. Really appreciate the assist!

No prob! Keep that multiplication thing in mind because it becomes handy in many occasions. Everything in Lemur is treated as a floating number between 0 and 1. Anytime we want a different range we just multiply x (or any other expression) with the range itself.
As examples, think of a monitor object which we want to display a percentage amount of a knob : knob.x*100
