How to modify a skin of PatchWork so that it shows the Controls with 0-127 range

[hellishvictor]

Hello everydody

What is the code that I have to add to the file layout.inc for show the range 0-127 on the MIDI Controls instead of 0-100.0%?

Experimenting a bit, I did it with the opacity button changing on the file titlebar.inc the value on "max" (and "default"):
<PARAM id="theme.opacity" min="0" max="100" default="100" unit="%" persistent="true" name="Opacity"/>
<PARAM id="theme.opacity" min="0" max="127" default="127" unit="%" persistent="true" name="Opacity"/>
and removing the {unit} label from content="Opacity: {value}{unit}". It was so easy.
Had to change also <THEME_MINI_KNOB param_id="theme.opacity" positions_count="101"> to "128".

So, on the "Assignable Params Knobs" section, I modified:
<THEME_MINI_KNOB param_id="$assignable_param$index$$" positions_count="101" id="assignable_control$index$"/>
to positions_count="128", and now when I move the Control knobs, they show the same proportion that it receives from my controler (midi value 64 -> 50.4%, and not 50.0%).
I tried to add the "max="127" code and value_format=".0" to <PARAM_TO_STRING_LINK from="$assignable_param$index$$" to="assignable_param$index$_value" content=": {text_value} {unit}"/>, but its ignored.

To do this, you would actually have to use another parameter with 0-127 range, link it from the original parameter and display its value, instead of using the real parameter (you cannot modify the range just for display).

Something like this for example:

Code: Select all

<!-- Define the parameter for display and link from original parameter -->
<PARAM id="$assignable_param$index$$_0_127" min="0" max="127" value_format=".0"/>
<PARAM_LINK from="$assignable_param$index$$" to="$assignable_param$index$$_0_127" normalized="true">

<!-- Change the source for display string: use the new parameter -->
<PARAM_TO_STRING_LINK from="$assignable_param$index$$_0_127" to="assignable_param$index$_value" content=": {text_value}"/>, 

Hope this helps!

It truly did help, thank you !

I was getting this error message:
There were errors while parsing the skin:
- error: Fatal error line 521: expected end of tag 'PARAM_LINK' (layout.inc)

but is because the 2nd tag wasn't closed with " /" at the end:
<PARAM_LINK from="$assignable_param$index$$" to="$assignable_param$index$$_0_127" normalized="true" />

Here is the complete code of the section for everybody:

Code: Select all

  <!-- Assignable Params Knobs-->
  <PARAM_LINK from="plug_ins_cell.width" to="assignable_knobs.width"/>
  <LAYER_STACK id="assignable_knobs_cell" display="false">

			<PARAM_TO_STRING_LINK from="$assignable_param$index$$_0_127" to="assignable_param$index$_value" content=": {text_value}"/>
          <STRING id="assignable_param$index$_number" default="$index$. " />

    </ROW>
  </LAYER_STACK>
</COLUMN>

Thanks for correcting the typo!

Hi again. Today I notice that on the Controls' dialog box still appear as %. What is the parameter to modify this?

Help with this will be appreciated, because here I'm not sure if the parameter for modify that is on layout.inc

We'll double check but if I remember well, this is because the control is directly connected to the dsp parameter, so that's what you are editing here.
