jsfx_setslider

Abstract

Gets a slider value of a jsfx instance

Description

With jsfx_getslider it is possible to get the current values of any slider defined in a jsfx script, mostly after calling jsfx or jsfx_play. A jsfx plugin defines a series of up to 64 sliders, which are control parameters used by the script. A slider can also be used to output values to the caller, for example to indicate the gain reduction in a compressor plugin, or the frequency in a pitch tracking plugin.

A slider definition in a jsfx script has the form:

slider7:0<0,20,0.01>Gain Reduction

This defines a control parameter with default value 0, between 0 and 20, with a precission (an increment) of 0.01 and a label "Gain Reduction". To read the value of that slider:

kgainreduction = jsfx_getslider(ihandle, 7)

jsfx sliders

Any slider which is not set via jsfx_setslider retains its default value. A value will always be confined to the range in the slider definition and will also be quantized to the increment in the slider definition. To disable any quantization, set the increment to 0 in the jsfx script

jsfx

jsfx is an audio programming language implemented primarily as part of the DAW REAPER. It is a scripting language with a built-in compiler which translates it to machine code. It allows to operate at the sample level (like defining an udo with setksmps 1 but more efficient). It is around 2x to 2.5x slower than hand-coded C. See https://www.reaper.fm/sdk/js/js.php for more information about the syntax, etc.

Syntax

kvalue  jsfx_getslider ihandle, kid

Arguments

  • ihandle: the handle created via jsfx_new or jsfx
  • kidx: the slider number (this corresponds to the sliderx value in the jsfx script)

Output

  • kvalue: value of the slider

Execution Time

  • Performance
