slowly learning - help with conditional routing please

[slatepipe]

i been literally sat trying to figure this out for three hours now

im sure it's quite simple but i cant figure it out

i am trying to make a patch to use a usb joystick i picked up. i'm using the hi object with unpack and route. i can send bang messages out of four outlets in the route object that are dependant on four numbers that the direction buttons on the joystick generates

the number that comes out of the first outlet in the unpack object is 32, when i press a shift button on the joystick the direction numbers are different.

how can i only use the numbers that are generated when the number from the first unpack outlet is 32? am i doing this right or is there a simpler way?

this is probably really simple stuff so apologies for being a slow learner

here's a pic for clarification :




thanks for any help

i have no max on this computer, but i'd say 'gate' is the object you need.
As a side note, if the 27000, 9000etc. are supposed to be produced by the joystick, there might be a huge chance that you miss the value. I would select a zone around the value, using 'split' for instance.

[chapelier fou]

looking at your patch again, is the '32' in a list before the message you want to route ? in this case why do you unpack them ? Route would act as a filter just like you want.

thanks for your help feller

i'll try the ideas you're mentioning, i'm pretty much a novice at this and i'm basically copying stuff from the help files and elsewhere.

the direction arrows on the joystick give on/off values - which results in the numbers i put in the route object. there's thumbsticks on it too which i guess give more varying values. at the moment though i'll just try and get this bit to work. then maybe the buttons

thanks again

[slatepipe]

i tried hooking the route object straight up to the hi but it doesnt work. it puts out two numbers each time, 32 is always the first, then the numbers i have put into the route object. i guess that's why i tried to unpack them, as i only need the second number in the list to control direction. the first number, 32, i want to use to stop the numbers going to the route. ie if the value changes from 32

i'll have another look at the gate object

See if this helps:

Code: Select all

Using the gate you can route the directionals when shift is pressed, ie !=32.

If you want to route any list starting with 32 but not have the 32 cut off, you can use routepass.

Once you get to where you just want a certain number to bang, you can use [sel], instead of route, that is in your case, if there is no number after 27000, and it's the actually 27000 you want to trigger the bang.

Remember, route will cut off the number you're routing, and routepass won't.

[slatepipe]

done it! thanks for your help fellers

i used that routepass object followed with an unpack

now for some buttons....

[slatepipe]

i made some good progress today but now i got stuck on a new problem. i cant get anything to show up in my presentation. from reading the docs and helpfiles it says everything in the presentation must be in the top level of the patch and i think they are but i cant get anything to show up. i think it must be something to do with a subpatcher or something but i cant figure it out. i managed to get objects showing up before in different devices but i'm stuck here. can anyone help again???

thanks
