Control banking, avoiding values jumping

[hellcore]

I'm trying to use a single button & pot combo to control multiple objects in my patch, I'm not sure how to stop the values jumping as I toggle through the demux outputs. I can get the value to latch with the hook object but when I come back around to that control my value obviously jumps to the current pot position. I need some logic on each button press, how to patch this? Thanks in advance, sorry if this is obvious, still learning all the objects!

This is what I have so far...

on the demux try connecting the output to the default
e.g. o0 to d0, o1 to d1 etc
(I don't think you need the hook object for what your after)

Thanks! That fixes the previous value jumping to 0 when cycling to the next outlet but I still have a value jump, to the current pot position.

I'm looking for a pass-thru value style behaviour as commonly found on synth controls so that values do not jump when I switch between different parameters. This is why I was playing with the hook object, obviously it sees a jump in value when the pot has changed position since the previous time the corresponding outlet was connected. This is what I'm trying to remedy.

ah, I see your issue....

the issue is that ctrl/hook needs to be unhooked when you switch to it.
this would be best done with updating the ctrl/hook with a new inlet, to allow the unhook to happen, under user control.
(currently it only unhooks when the parameter changes - as far as i can tell with a quick look)
@johannes any objection to adding a unhook on rising edge?

without this, you would end up duplicating much of the logic in ctrl/hook... not hard, but messy if your doing it graphically.

No objection against an unhook inlet. Does that result in a clean expression of this use case?

[thetechnobear]

I should think so, I think the deal is, when the switch is changed, it needs to unhook the param.
of course, I'll test it in this context before I release it.
(will add the test to the help file so others can see how its used)

I managed it with a quick hack to the hook object, I'll look forward to your version as my C skills are erm, basic!

What was the end result of this thread?

after a year, and (another request ) Ive finally added the unhook inlet to hook (sync library time) , Ive also updated the help on hook to show this use case (one input, controlling multiple outputs via a 'mode' switch)
