Enter value of a slider with the keyboard

[Carotino]

Hi.
Is it possible to enter a value for a slider using the keyboard? Example: I want a precise value, but dragging with the mouse or using the mouse wheel is imprecise.

Thanks

Not directly. It can probably be scripted. Do you know about pressing Ctrl to finetune mouse movement?

Also, it is actually impossible to enter precise values for VST plugin sliders. It's a limitation of the VST standard. Unfortunately I didn't think about this when designing the internal plugin system in Radium, I just did the same as the VST standard, so it's a lot of work to fix for the internal plugins. But it's possible to make a requester that asks for a number between 0 and 100, for instance, if that would help.

Thanks Kjetil.
I didn't know about CTRL+mouse, indeed it allows finer adjustments. They're still limited to a step of 0.03/0.02 though, it seems.
I suppose that by "requester" you mean a little dialog where you enter a value: if so it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, you can try copying this file into the bin/scheme directory of radium:
http://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/instruments.scm

Then you'll get an option called "Set value" in the popup menu. It's a bit confusing, since it requests a value between 0-100, so I'm not sure if this option should be visible, at least not by default.

Hi.
I tried it and it works, as you say, it's not the best way, but better than nothing.

Thanks
