Topic: Flanger - Volume Script

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi,

I have used LOCODOG's flanger effect volume leveling script and it seems to be working well on the skin, when i select flanger on the skin it works perfectly where the volume is reduced when its on and then goes back to normal gain once flanger is off. however when i plug in the controller and use a button in the controller for the same purpose the gain doesn't come back to normal, it stays on that -15, and if i click on it again it goes down by another -15

effect_active 'flanger' ? effect_active 'flanger' & get_var "resetGain" & param_cast & gain : set "resetGain" '`gain' & effect_active 'flanger' & gain -15%

any ideas?

thanks
chad

Controllers usually have gain sliders as well that interfere with the software.
You should change your script to:

effect_active 'flanger' ? effect_active 'flanger' off & gain_relative +15% : effect_active 'flanger' on & gain_relative -15%

Well spotted sir, yes i was asking why it didn't work and where else it wouldn't work,
My method just uses vdj values and it's an anomaly that it works with keyboards but not controllers.

i presume the answer would only be useful to about 20 people on the planet.

Well. The trouble is I dont use the laptop at all usually. And I have a dedicated harwars effects one aptly named flanger so getting this to work would be a good thing for those uses. I do see sometimes it does work. But doest work the 2nd time. Flanger comes on without any gain change.

Can you try this?

effect_active 'flanger' ? effect_active 'flanger' off & level +15% : effect_active 'flanger' on & level -15%
