Hi Guys,

I need a little python help here.

here is what i want to do.

id like to have a button that could scroll through some preset rgb values in lets say a dat. then id like to take those values and apply them to a constant. ive tried to figure this out but am getting lost

here’s a different a bit more general solution which could be useful. This one is using the available Presets component in Palette.

  1. create a Base comp, rightclick, Customize Component, add a new Custom parameter page “Colors” and add two custom parameters, both type RGB.
  2. Zoom into your Base Comp, and now drag the Presets component from palette here.(it’s under Techniques)
  3. On the Presets COMP, go to parameter page “Setup” and Pulse the “Initialize” button.
  4. zoom out from your Base COMP and see two new custom parameter pages, one Colors and one Presets.
  5. set colors, save them as presets, and recall them.

sounds great but i need to be able to bank through this with one click from a controller that has no mouse function

here’s an extension with a button, every click it goes to the next preset.

How does it work:

-everytime the button is clicked, one is added to the number in the count CHOP,

-The count CHOP reads the number of presets, and limits its maximum to that

-The current preset is set to the list of all possible presets, with the current number in the count chop as indicator which item in that list we want

-when the number in the count CHP changes, that triggers the CHOP execute DAT, which pulses the recallpreset button.
