PagedMKtl

Extension

Description

In Modality, one can have several MKtls for the same device, and switch between them, like hardware controller pages. One can also activate them polyphically if desired, e.g. to control multiple similar processes from the same gestures.

A PagedMKtl lets one make such pages for a single physical controller. It has a dict of several MKtls, which are all controlled from the same physical interface. Paging to one contained MKtl enables it, and disables all other pages/mktls.

First code examples:// MIDI - Attach a single nanoKontrol2 first if you have one, then find it: MKtl.find(\midi); // Make some MKtls which point to the same device MKtl('ada', "korg-nanokontrol2"); MKtl('bob', "korg-nanokontrol2"); MKtl('cyc', "korg-nanokontrol2"); p = PagedMKtl(\nk2, [\ada, \bob, \cyc]); // now give each one a different action for the rew button MKtl('\ada').elAt(\tr, \rew).action_({ "rew page ada".postln }); MKtl('\bob').elAt(\tr, \rew).action_({ "rew page bob".reverse.postln }); MKtl('\cyc').elAt(\tr, \rew).action_({ "rew page cyc".scramble.postln }); // now hit the rew button - all three are active! p.page(\ada); // hit rew p.page(\bob); // again p.page(\cyc); // and again p.up.currPage; // p.down.currPage; // p.down.currIndex; // // HID - create two MKtls for a gamepad: MKtl.find(\hid); // make two Mktls for a saitek gamepad g = MKtl('g', "*impact*gamepad"); i = MKtl('i', "*impact*gamepad"); // they will point to the same HID device! g.device.source === i.device.source; g.device.source.id; // set an action for all elements of g g.elAt.action = { |el ... groups| [el.source, el.name, el.value.round(0.001)].postln }; i.elAt.action = { |el ... groups| [el.source, el.name, el.value.round(0.001)].postln }; g.gui; i.gui; // press some buttons - actions of both MKtls will run and post: [ MKtl('g'), joy_r_y, 0.506 ] [ MKtl('i'), joy_r_y, 0.506 ] // add an action for button 1 g.elAt(\bt, \1).action = { "ONE!".postln }; i.elAt(\bt, \1).action = { "ENO?".postln }; // switch between the two by hand g.enable; i.disable; i.enable; g.disable; // make a third one, then turn the three into a PagedMKtl MKtl('h', "*impact*gamepad"); MKtl('h').elAt.action = g.elAt.action; MKtl('h').elAt(\bt, \1).action = { "T W O".postln }; p = PagedMKtl(\impact, ['g', 'h', 'i']); // activate one at a time, add try using it after each one p.page(\g); p.page(\h); p.page(\i); // enable/disable all 3 at the same time: p.mktlDict.do(_.enable); // all off p.mktlDict.do(_.disable);
