Controlling a heavy script in Unity

[fr4nky8oy]

Hi guys, could you please help me with this test patch.

I have made a Controller Script in Unity to modify Frequency(FQ) and Wavetoogle(WT) on the PD/Heavy patch. The general Audio is fine, the heavy patch works great in play mode.

I think the Controller Script is wrong. In play mode the keys A and S do change the FQ and WT on the patch(on game object), but the sound does not change. Not sure why.

I am also getting some errors in the console (SendBangToReceiver..) but I have difficulties to identify the correct parameter in the Heavy/Patch script (not sure if parameter is the right word), so i can replace the SendBangToReceive.

I have attached the unity project below. please let me know if you could help to work it out. thank you.

Can you paste your controller script code here?

Are you using @hv_event for bangs into the patch?

[fr4nky8oy]

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class ControlScript : MonoBehaviour {

public Hv_OSC_Unity_AudioLib HeavyScript; 

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {


}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

	if (Input.GetKeyDown ("space"))
		
	{
		HeavyScript.SendBangToReceiver ("onOff");
		//print ("space pressed");
	}
	
	else if (Input.GetKeyDown ("q"))

	{
		HeavyScript.SendBangToReceiver ("waveToggle");
		//print ("space pressed");

	}

	else if (Input.GetKey ("a"))
		
	{
		HeavyScript.freq -= 2;
		//print ("space pressed");
	}

	else if (Input.GetKey ("s"))
		
	{
		HeavyScript.freq += 2;
		//print ("space pressed");
	}



	else
		{
		return;
		}
	}

}

I’m pretty sure you can’t send remote messages like this from Unity?

Also when addressing a remote parameter in Hv you need to use the following syntax :

for bangs

pd.SendEvent(Hv_script_AudioLib.Event.BangLabel);

for floats

pd.SetFloatParameter(Hv_script_AudioLib.Parameter.ParamLabel, var);

I think the Controller Script that is wrong, for example in play mode the letter A and S change the FQ and WT on the patch(on game object) but the sound does not change. Not sure why.

@dbaxaudio i followed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvoPwlZt8_A&t=77s

[diplojocus]

@dbaxaudio 's example is correct, @fr4nky8oy that video you linked is quite old now.

Check the documentation https://enzienaudio.com/docs/index.html#06.unity#exposing-and-sending-events

Also there's example code in the AudioLib.cs script itself if you have a peek in there.

[diplojocus]

Also don't use the public float values to update the patch (I need to remove those!).

You should use SetFloatParameter instead, see here: https://enzienaudio.com/docs/index.html#06.unity#exposing-and-setting-parameters

thanks Joe, I checked all examples already, but i dont understand how to implement them in my code controller code :( , do you think you could copy/paste an example here pls?

[dbaxaudio]

This works. Be sure to use a capital on any parameter names you have chosen

else if (Input.GetKey ("a"))

    {
        

        HeavyScript.SetFloatParameter(Hv_OSC_Unity_AudioLib.Parameter.Freq, 320.0f);
        //print ("space pressed");
    }

    else if (Input.GetKey ("s"))
        
    {
        HeavyScript.SetFloatParameter(Hv_OSC_Unity_AudioLib.Parameter.Freq, 340.0f);
        //print ("space pressed");
    }

[fr4nky8oy]

amazing thanks, will try it now

[fr4nky8oy]

works great thanks guys, could you pls explain i could implement the -=2 and +=3 Fq changes, instead of setting a fixed float like 320.0f and 340.0f . do i need to make a public operation and then replace the float ?

thanks

[dbaxaudio]

I think your best manipulating a variable inside a function, and then assigning the variable in the SetFloat

Or you could do the operations in PD and use a bang event to trigger them

[fr4nky8oy]

i like the first option, i need to research how to implement that thanks!

[diplojocus]

Hey @fr4nky8oy the docs explain how to do this https://enzienaudio.com/docs/index.html#06.unity#exposing-and-setting-parameters

// increment parameter 'freq' by 1
float freq = script.GetFloatParameter(Hv_example_AudioLib.Parameter.Freq);
script.SetFloatParameter(Hv_example_AudioLib.Parameter.Freq, freq + 0.1f);

[fr4nky8oy]

thanks Joe!!

Hi Joe, i am making a UI for the FM PD patch in Unity I am having some problems understanding why i dont see the Hv AudioLib UI parameters from the UI Slide event Horizontal and Vertical. (please see pics)

do i need to create another script to access the Hv AudioLib UI parameters from the slider event? Thanks Joe,

[diplojocus]

Hey @fr4nky8oy can you make a separate issue for this and I'll reply in there. Thanks!

[fr4nky8oy]

great thanks Joe
