[amiga909]

great job!
thank you, benjamin and bsork

i've read many programming guides and this is one of the better ones.
whats still missing for me is a kind of quick reference that lists all functions, globals, etc. on a few pages.
wonder if there are still more functions? the string section contains a lot of functions that are not listed in senso's quick reference.

[bsork]

Yes - a great job, but not by me. I only did some proofreading, filled out some blanks, and made some suggestions.

Regarding other functions, there are others available like the TStringList class used in some the text file I/O scripts I've put up in the add-ons. There's also one in the distro, if memory serves my right. What other (standard?) Delphi classes/functions/procedures that are available, I don't know.

im sure this tut is well done but i couldn't manage to make a simple A+B = out script, any chance to get a complete exemple for dummies like me?

[bsork]

Here's an example:

Code: Select all

var inA, inB, out : tParameter;

procedure init;
begin
   inA := CreateParam('A', ptDataFader);
   SetIsOutput(inA, FALSE);
   SetFormat(inA, '%.0f');
   SetMin(inA, 1);
   SetMax(inA, 10);

   inB := CreateParam('B', ptDataFader);
   SetIsOutput(inB, FALSE);
   SetFormat(inB, '%.0f');
   SetMin(inB, 1);
   SetMax(inB, 10);

   out := CreateParam('out', ptDataFader);
   SetIsInput(out, FALSE);
   SetFormat(out, '%.0f');
end;

begin
   SetValue(out, GetValue(inA) + GetValue(inB));
end.

any chance to get some more info about this?
feeling lost in this question (if its a relevant question)

is it possible to include files in the script module?

and yet another question: would it benefit midi tools a lot if they're written with C++ sdk (like nelson did)?

in fact they are many other hidden functions, classes and procedures. Enough to build a real application but not so easy to use. I hope I'll have time to improve the documentation about it.

actually not.

and yet another question: would it benefit midi tools a lot if they're written with C++ sdk (like nelson did)?

C++ is 20x faster than script language but for midi manipulation it's not a problem: the midi rate is generally few midi events per second. Scripting does a good job.
