Switch isn't switching

I have a Vintage Compressor connected to my macro page. I have a simple switch on my macro page to toggle the “Punch” parameter on/off. If I press the switch, I can see in HALion 6 “Punch” getting toggled on/off but on my macro page the switch isn’t switching. I’ve tried this with a bunch of different switches but I get the same result. I’ve also tried copying another switch that is working correctly on my macro page and assigning it this function but it still doesn’t work correctly.

Any one else come across something like this?

Thanks,

You’re right.

It’s probably because the Vintage Compressor attackmode (Punch) parameter is integer with values 1 and 2 while the switch expects values 0 and 1. The weird thing is it that clicking on the macro page switch does change the value of the parameter but you can’t tell what’s the state of the parameter.

You could work around this by creating a simple UI script that would work like interface between the switch and the parameter.

defineParameter("PunchValue", nil, 1,1,2,1, function() punchValueChange() end)
defineParameter("PunchSwitch", nil, 0,0,1,1, function() punchSwitchChange() end)

function punchValueChange()
  PunchSwitch = PunchValue - 1
end

function punchSwitchChange()
  PunchValue = PunchSwitch + 1
end

Connect the attackmode parameter of the compressor to “PunchValue” and the switch to “PunchSwitch”.


Got yah. Thanks for your help! I don’t think I would have ever figured that out on my own! I’ll have to make this adjustment.

Thanks again,
