Script locations

Crossfade Loop Synth looks for MIDI & OSC scripts in standard locations. Scripts must

have the ﬁlename extension “.lua”.

Mac OS X

The plug-in looks for scripts in

Library/Application Support/Expert Sleepers/Crossfade Loop Synth/

Scripts

Windows

The plug-in looks for scripts in

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Expert

Sleepers\Crossfade Loop Synth\Scripts

Overriding the default script

Normally any scripts that the plug-in ﬁnds are run in addition to (and after) the default

script (‘midi.lua’) that comes with the plug-in itself.

However, if you name your own script ‘midi.lua’, then the default script is not run. This

lets you completely replace the plug-in’s default MIDI behaviour (as described previ-

ously), rather than simply extend it.

MIDI & OSC Script Functions

The scripts are simply loaded and executed. You do not need to deﬁne any particular func-

tions for the system to call.

The following functions are available for you to call to deﬁne your script behaviour.

getParameterID( param )

Returns the parameter ID of the named parameter. Use with setParameter()/

getParameter() (see below). E.g.

paramID_Pitch = getParameterID( "Pitch" )

getParameter( param )

Returns the value of the plug-in parameter. ‘param’ can either be the parameter name or

the parameter ID (as returned from getParameterID()). Using the ID is more efﬁcient.

Typically you would obtain the ID in the main script body (which is only executed once)

and then use it in a handler function (which can be called many times). E.g.

1 2 ... 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 ... 37 38
