Logarithmic Volume Control (dB FS)

[tulamide]

It seems there doesn't exist one, so I created one.

(Don't forget to rate it, good or bad doesn't matter, just do it )

why don't you use the showCursor method to show/hide the cursor instead of the primitive version?

Something doesn't add up... at -6dB I would expect the scaling factor would be 0.5, instead it is 0.4 which is ~ -8dB

BTW: you skipped the difficult part: presets & default

Because of the hold state.

I hate doing careless mistakes. You are right. When inverting 20*log10(n), instead of 10^(n/20) I wrote 20^(n/20). I'm very sorry, will be corrected in an update soon!

What's so difficult in sending a float to the preset manager?
I'd say, programming a control would be the difficult part

Tried it? The tricky part is, that you have to send values to the preset, and you have to set your control to the values coming from the preset. Done incorrectly, this can lead to an endless loop

Well, I never had such issue, but if the people vote for it, because they can't do it themselves, I'll add a float preset parameter.

I haven't had problems with it, but I'm not sure why the stock knobs for example use such a weird construct (toggling "Rec" input). My approach is a lot simpler than that.

New version 1.01 is up. See changelog for a description.

Very nice! So how would you integrate it with a preset manager (preset name, value, default)?

wow, very cool knob Tom i really like it, about the presetmanager thing, i normally use this module which scales linear 0..1 to log db it has an min db and max db value in the properties, its independent from the control so every knob or slider could be used..

[MyCo]

@Nubeat, same as I do. Every single knob / slider, whatever in my projects goes from 0 to 1. Scaling is applied outside of the control module. That way I don't have to check the ranges on every control, when I want to change something later...
