hi,
i made a little plugin for vdmx, i'd like to share.
This plugin creates 4 buttons, that work like a “bang” in maxmsp or pure-data, with fall-off and decay curve type.
This means, if you press one of the buttons, it jumps to from 0, which is it’s initial state to 1 and counts down to 0 in a given time as defined by the decay value. In vdmx-terms, this means going from 0 to the max number of the used slider.
(Ignore the dimension sizes visible at the top of the plugin, and ignore that a button lights up and latches, as vdmx only displays boolean toggles as far as i know.)
The four values from the buttons can be attached to any slider in vdmx.
This might be useful for playing 4 layers with trigger pads like a visual mpc, flash up lighting effects, temporarily punch up dry/wet values, pop scales of 3d objects and so forth.
The internals are really quite simple, so i trust i can be easily expanded to how many punch buttons you need.
looks like this:
Check out the blog post for a quick vid, instructions and download.
