Modules and Arrays Question

[Ricciardo]

Hi,

Is there anyway to display modules using an array order?

i mean...

lets supose i have 5 modules (it could be fx modules, delay, chorus etc etc)
and i would create an array named "modules" [0] [1] [2] [3] [4], that would then be represented "normaly"
in this order...
0
1
2
3
4
suposing, each module display have its own number... is there a way of doing this in ruby, and perhaps
morph with other thing i allready seen like the so called fx chainer wich uses arrays to set the audio order..
but i would like to do similar, with graphics... displays, not bitmaps, but modules display...

any info would be apreciated

regards

You may use multiplexer to select between multiple displays. Basically the same problem has been discused in this topic. Check out the example in there.

I think you miss understood what i meant...

the multiplexer is designed to switch between multiple displays showing only 1 at the time...

what i want is diferentt, i want to display every module at same time, but in a certain order... depeding
the way the array would be indexed or changed

basicly... you want simple tabs, with multiplexer to hide and show when selected...

i want do drag and drop fx between inserts, this is made using an array... i allready have the chainfx code to do it
and it works... but to make it the way i want... i would like to do this also with "displays" not only audio...
i want to grab modules, up and down... in the fx rack...
so if have 5 slots (array) each slot have 5 possibilities... this is interesting... perhaps the multiplexer could work
but still... i dont know how to split... the data into each multiplexer

i give you an example...
the code looks like this:
0
1
3
2
4
or it could have a complete different order... it could be
1
0
2
4
3
it doesnt matter, basicly, each line is a fx slot, and the number is the type of "module"/fx selected for that slot/insert.. each slot, have 5 possibilities, and logicaly, when 1 is in the slot 0, it cant be anywhere else...
this have to be made with an array, there isnt otherway... but i dont have the knoledge to code this in ruby
i guess i will have to do it "mecanicaly" with primitives...

if i could split the array for each line, and assign it for 5 different multiplexers, it would work i think...
but still, i think this can be done faster and much more eficiently in Ruby... but i dont know how to code it!

but thanks anyway, for the help

never mind i allready figured out !!!!!!

Ah, now I get it. Module GUI primitive provides the size of the modules view and also lets you specify its position.
Assuming they will be aligned horizontally the x position of the module will be the sum of widths of modules left form his position.
