I'm using "Define" for the first time and do not see examples of Level faders with sliders. The following is a code that currently works for one volume level control with moveable slider:


<slider action="deck 1 level" orientation="vertical" dblclick="reset" rightclick="temporary">
<size width="40" height="213"/>
<pos x="832" y="442"/>

<size width="45" height="222"/>
<up x="120" y="2098"/>
<selected x="161" y="2098"/>

<fader>
<size width="37" height="32"/>
<pos x="121" y="2060"/>
<mouserect x="125" y="2050" width="30" height="28"></mouserect>
</fader>
</slider>


But how do I define once to replicate later??

<define class="slider" orientation="vertical" dblclick="reset" rightclick="temporary">
   <size width="40" height="213"/>
   <up x="120" y="2098"/>
   <selected x="161" y="2098"/>
      <fader>	
         <size width="37" height="32"/>
         <pos x="121" y="2060"/>	
         <mouserect x="125" y="2050" width="30" height="28"></mouserect>
      </fader>
</define>


Then use:
<slider class="slider" action="deck 1 level"><pos x="832" y="442"/></slider>

Do you also know the variable to get "master" volume? Would like to add master volume l.E.D.s

You need a <visual> with source="get_vu_meter 'master'"
The code is available in the default skins too.

Ahhh. I was looking all over for it. I thought I was looking at default, but it was a different skin.... lol

IT's what I was looking for.

One last thing with volume. What's the trick to only show a fully lit LED? Currently, when the levels bounce, each individual LED is lit from the bottom up. I would like the individual LED to be lit all at one or not at all.

Am I asking correctly?

Working on a highly simplified, but detailed version of the NS7II.

hmm u may need to define each "Led" as a separate button (or visual) and use something like ..
get_vu_meter 'master' & param_bigger 40% ? param_smaller 50% ? on : off : off
this will turn on a "Led" if the VU meter is between 40% and 50%

EDIT.. probably you need all Leds below to light up so the actions should look like..
get_vu_meter 'master' & param_bigger 40% ? param_smaller 50% ? off : on : off
Will light up the xth led if VU is over 50%

So I used your suggestion and it worked on the master VU left... But having headaches trying to figure out to group everything so that I can easily replicate the work i've done, and just re-position 36 pixels to the right using a few lines of code.

I've look at so many example and getting super confused. I have defined the following:

---LEDS 1-11 DEFINED---
<Group name="LEDS-DEFINED">
-LED #1
<define class="LED#1" type="linear" orientation="vertical" direction="up" source="get_vu_meter_left 'master' & param_bigger 0% ? param_smaller 9.09% ? off : on : off">
<size width="8" height="16"/>
<pos x="939" y="620"/>

<off x="60" y="2120"/>

<on x="80" y="2282"/>
</define>

<define class="LED#2" type="linear" orientation="vertical" direction="up" source="get_vu_meter_left 'master' & param_bigger 9.10% ? param_smaller 18.18% ? off : on : off">
<size width="8" height="16"/>
<size width="8" height="16"/>

<off x="60" y="2120"/>

</define>

<define class="LED#3" type="linear" orientation="vertical" direction="up" source="get_vu_meter_left 'master' & param_bigger 18.19% ? param_smaller 27.27% ? off : on : off">
<size width="8" height="16"/>
<size width="8" height="16"/>

</define>

</define>

<define class="LED#5" type="linear" orientation="vertical" direction="up" source="get_vu_meter_left 'master' & param_bigger 36.37% ? param_smaller 45.45% ? off : on : off">
<size width="8" height="16"/>

<define class="LED#7" type="linear" orientation="vertical" direction="up"source="get_vu_meter_left 'master' & param_bigger 54.55% ? param_smaller 63.63% ? off : on : off">

and then:








<group name="VuMeter-Master">

You can move a group:
<group name="VU_METER" x="+100" y="+10">

Or

<group name="VU_METER" x="900" y="220">
 
Posted Fri 20 Feb 15 @ 5:24 am
But do I have to copy and paste everything in the original group? or can I define what a group is like define class?
 
Posted Fri 20 Feb 15 @ 9:09 am
I guess in other words, can I define a group and just use the class id of the group for an element so that I can duplicate the group in another spot without having to redefine everything inside? I am trying to shorten the amount of code used since I need to do this a lot.

Isn't this the easiest way?

<visual type="custom" source="get cpu" orientation="horizontal">
<size width="25" height="11"/>
<pos x="9" y="8"/>
<down x="9" y="773" nb="7" smooth="true"/>
</visual>
 
Posted Fri 20 Feb 15 @ 1:29 pm
I don't know...
I tried the following:

<visual type="custom" source="get_vu_meter_left 'master'" orientation="vertical">
<size width="8" height="196"/>
<pos x="939" y="440"/>
<down x="60" y="2102" nb="11" smooth="false" />
</visual>

It's not the same effect. All LEDs come on and sort of move horizontal, not vertical.
