Hello DJTT.

For the last couple of month I was working on a little mod:

i'm never quite sure of the details of the scripting language glovepie uses i wish it was something more standard - but i guess it's optimised to be run in a tight loop many times a second and all

if you're not seeing too much cpu usage then i guess no real need to worry about it anyway. odd tho - it *should* be able to work with grouped 'if' statements and should be more efficient too... i might have a play later with glovepie - been a while since i really used it too much

one thing is that you need an equality test so need to use == and not =

whether or not thats the only problem tho not sure...

Code:
if var.Number == 1
midi.channel1.csharp1   = swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD2) 
midi.channel1.d1        = swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD3)
endif

Is it really neccessary to quote that entire post just to make your comment?

To the OP, nice work!

if you're not seeing too much cpu usage then i guess no real need to worry about it anyway.
CPU-usage is ok. But it sure is not a bad idea to get it done right

i might have a play later with glovepie - been a while since i really used it too much
I Really appreciate that. Let me know if you find some clues

16.09.2011		quite embarrassing to make this mistake..

well, thanks for pointing it out. but even with this error removed i still found no way to make the if-statements work right. only my original code gives me proper one-shots
one-hit-one-play + no repeat on hold)
Holding down will keep the midi-key active, by the way

I changed the var.Number = X to var.Number == X
Hence I guess Operator "=" is more expensive in CPU-Usage!?

Code:
if pressed(swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD1)) then var.Number++
if var.Number > 3  then var.Number = 1

midi.channel1.csharp1   = swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD2) and (var.Number == 1)
midi.channel1.d1        = swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD3) and (var.Number == 1)
midi.channel1.dsharp1   = swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD4) and (var.Number == 1)
...

16.09.2011		So I tried to modify my script, but i must have done something wrong. if i change it from this

...
midi.channel1.csharp1 = swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD2) and (var.Number = 1)
midi.channel1.d1 = swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD3) and (var.Number = 1)
...

to

...
if var.Number = 1
midi.channel1.csharp1 = swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD2)
midi.channel1.d1 = swallow(Keyboard.NUMPAD3)
endif
...

the "sends" come so repeatedly that my oneshots restart like 20 times a second on hold... so even one hit will repeat the sample approx. 3 times already. Of course i only want them to trigger once

anyone has an idea on that? maybe a command to suppress the re-triggering a note?
Wendy Heckenkamp
15.09.2011		thanks to all replies.


@zestoi
I will do that. I was just glad that the script worked, and did not believe about optimizing.. till now. thanks for the tip.

@extraclassic
Big ups to you! Your projects had been a big inspiration to me

14.09.2011		thats pretty awesome

not sure if the glovepie code might be more efficient tho if you wrapped "if" statements around each of the 4 blocks (page change and the pages) so then it doesnt need to evaluate so much each iteration. as glovepie loops round your code around 20 times a second i believe - which is the only bad thing i've found about it - it can end up eating a measurable amount of cpu which i don't like.

nice use of space in the flight case and i presume u could always use it in that space at the bottom if u wanted to - tho would probably actually be more in the way for what u want to use it for atm.

i got as far as buying 8 arcade buttons, gamepad, soldering iron and solder a few months back but haven't actually got round to doing anything with them yet (apart from playing around in glovepie...)

13.09.2011		i already use the transport buttons of my vci to juggle cuepoints (i can switch between normal transport and cue-point-juggleing) .
Although, cue-point-juggling would not be hard to map for the numShotter.

I use my numShotter for this

Only a little bit more advanced, now with Battery3
