Weird problem.

[stevoj]

This is difficult to explain, so please bear with me..

I'm running 1.42 within bidule. I have a nanokontroller set up so that each rotary control controls 'Rate' for each track, but I'm using a script to do this (to limit the range from -12 to +12, rather than the default of -24 to +24).

What's happening now is that if Track 3 is selected, and I try to adjust the rotary RATE control, there is no rate change (although the visual indicator tells me otherwise). HOWEVER, if I select another track and then try to change the RATE control of Track 3, the rate changes fine. Wierd or what. Problem persists after a global reset.

Seemed to be working perfectly until I aquired a nanopad, which I've now set up to control the 'Rate' of any selected track on the XY pad. This seems to work fine on any track, including track 3. However this could be a red herring, as maybe I just never noticed before (I think I would have noticed though).

Obviously, I've done quick checks of the preset settings and midi control settings, can't see anything obviously wrong, but I'm at a loss here.

Problem solved, sort of. At least problem identified.

I dissassociated my nanopad XY pad from Mobius Midi settings, and the problem has gone away. Still don't understand why it caused a problem, nor why only Track 3 was affected.

I've never used an XY pad with Mobius, I don't know if this helps
but you'll probably have your script called twice for every movement on the
pad, once for the X coordinate and once for the Y.

To debug things like this I usually use the Message statement:

Message I'm here in the XY script!


Anything after the Message will be shown in the Mobius window, you can use
them to help trace your way through the script to see what it's doing.
Variables can be referenced like this:

Variable something Hello World!

Message My message to you is $(something)

If you want to pursue this send your control script to jeff@circularlabs.com.

If I understand what you want to do, an easier way is to go to the
Global Parameters dialog and find the "Shift Range" field. Change this to 24
(12 up 12 down).
