Changing text with conductor

[neufena]

Hi,

I was wondering, has anyone else tried this? I use an analogue synth live and wanted my notes on how to set up the sound to appear when I change conductor for each song. I made a text control and filled in the notes for a particular track then wrote tot the conductor, I then wrote the new notes and wrote that to the next conductor but switching between the two doesn’t change the text.

Any ideas?

Hi neufena,

If I've understood you correctly, you've used the Interface Design/Text (comment) module, and turned the "unused" to invisible??? Or did you use the same module for the different texts?

Either way, it won't do the trick. I suppose you need more info than you can put into a list box, so using the afore-mentioned module is however a good idea. If you can spare a track for this info, you could create different patches for each song. That's fairly easy. If you'd like to see the info in the main interface builder, you're out of luck though. The main interface is common for the whole workspace, no matter whether a patch is active.

A solution would be that the "visible" parameter of the text module has it's own inlet to be "patchable".
Maybe Olivier could easily implement that?

yes I could do that easily.

Thanks!
I'll use it, since I was wondering why that did not already exist. That could be the same for every interface design module, lot of job?

Of course, I can create inlets for all modules parameters (less than 1 second each), but remember that everything has a cost... (CPU and Memory)
Also in ergonomic term: imagine a Fader module with 10 inlets (min, max, caption, visible, etc.)
An hard choice?

You're right, Olivier. Let's be reasonable...
