Change slider range

[InfiniteDimensionality]

Is it possible to change the slider range dynamically? I have a slider that one can set a value and I'd like that value to then set the maximum range of another slider.

Actually, a little more complex. One slider chooses a value in an "array" and then that value is used to set the maximum of another slider.

It would also be nice to completely change a combo box's values depending on some other value.

slider6:0<0,7,1> Some Value
slider7:0<0,3,1{A,B,C}> Mode

slider6 == 2 ? slider6.Values = "X, Y, Z, Q"

AFAIK: no.

But it would be a great enhancement.

Sure it would!

You can do this if you create your own slider @gfx. Never done it myself, but geraintluff has a library of bits for doing this I think, in the stash somewhere.

You can try a slider from 0...1 with small steps and then multiply with whatever you want:

slider1:0<0,1,0.001>Test

@slider
val = slider1 * 10;

I already did both. But nonetheless the ability of modifying the original slider would be very welcome.

e.g.

slider1.min = 0;
slider1.max = slider1.max + 10;
slider1.step = (slider1.max - slider1.min) / 100;

x = 1;
loop (10,
  slider(i+1).min = slider(i).min;
  slider(i+1).max = slider(i).max;
  slider(i+1).setp = slider(i).step;
  = += 1;
);

Also, the ability to do non linear sliders would be nice.

I use custom graphics for this - for example, Ripple has high/low frequency dials which can't be closer than 2x from each other, so their limits change in response to each other.

One issue with this is that it couldn't affect automation. Otherwise, If I have automation on parameter A, and then I change/automate parameter B (which affects A's limits), it could get tricky.

If it's just for the display/interface, and automation is unaffected, that's simpler.

Yes, hi! *waves*
Here's a thread and some documentation.

I even started a UI generator (parses the slider definitions and generates code) to get started. You can use that as a starting-point and then tweak things manually from there. The generated code's a bit messy, but message/email me and I'll happily dig through it with you.

Yeah, that would be neat. Drawing custom graphics helps with half of it, but automation is still on a linear scale.

I did that (e.g. exponential) as well by applying a function on a virtual range.

But providing some nonlinear curves natively (e.g. log and exp) would indeed be nice.

Another thing I would like is to be able to toggle the display of sliders on or of programmatically.

A native solution would be nice.
Meanwhile, you can use the slider's value as a variable in a non-linear function.
Similarly for one slider affecting another, you can multiply (sum, or whatever you need to) the two sliders' values together.
What you'll still miss is the display (min, max, current) of the intended values: instead you'll see the intermediate ones, which is clearly not as intuitive or useful.

I could probably test this myself, but it's easier to ask:

Can sliders created in @gfx be used with parameter modulation? I'm assuming not.

[mschnell]

They would need to feature affiliated (hidden) standard sliders.

Ah yes, that would work.

Ehi guys, did u have any updates?
It is a super cool plugin and I'm interested if it is possibile to do it !
