Well, consider it a feature request/suggestion, then.
The ability to read modulation data and use it inside the scripts.That's very useful, thanks!

Thanks for talking to us.
- When interacting with widgets that send more than on/off values, it seems we can only drag up and down. Is that correct? Is there a way to change it so that the user can drag left to right?
- getTime() does not work globally. The error states that it needs to be in the audio thread. I'll assume this is the case for the other time methods.
For example this produces an error, print("time", getTime(), "end of run") and it is taken from one of the examples. How do we ensure it runs in the audio thread if it can't be accessed outside of it?

And thank you so much for this example. It really shows a lot of details I think some of us were looking for.

Another question about the UI.
Your Mello soundbank includes the use of an animation. The tape reel on the right hand side has an automated and subtle animation. How does that work?
Here's my guess. You're using something like getTime() with a modulo in order to generate values every several seconds. Then that's being used to change the frames within an unclickable widget. Is that basically what's happening?
You can use horizontal slider for left/right movement.
getTime can only be used in event callback like onNote, onController, onRelease...
as the point is to use this to time musical related events not UI ones.
We use a knob with an image strip and use a wait to increment it every N ms
--Turning Wheel
Wheel=Knob{"Wheely",1,1,numImages, true, bounds={625,92,95,267},showLabel = false,showPopupDisplay=false}
Wheel:setStripImage(pathToMyImageStrip, numImages)
function TurnWheel(time)
local maxValue = Wheel.max
local counter = 1
while true do
Wheel.value= counter%maxValue
counter = counter + 1
wait(time)
end
end
spawn(TurnWheel,40)DonnieAlan

Thank you. I will look at your tutorial. As for making a video in the future. Tomorrow is the future, right?

Hi Oliver,
Thank you - I find it immensely helpful to see a functional example more than a few lines long.

Interesting remark by Greg / @Empty Vessel in this thread:
vi-control.net
(you can safely ignore all my rambling in there, and skip to post #14)
Greg casually announces a new Falcon pack and apparently has cracked the LUA UI scripting secrets.
Falcon - How to re-use samples from expansion packs?
How do I save out samples from presets in Falcon?

Fair enough. Perhaps in a week or so.

No pressure, I was just being a bit cheeky for a grin!

Thanks for creating this thread. I just recently purchased Falcon but was disappointed to see that scripts were all locked away and the scripting documentation very unhelpful.
@estevancarlos Thanks for the github page.

well, not completely by any means but getting there, my rusty old memories from a Computer Science degree from 1990 is taking a while to reload and appears to have become rather patchy and corrupted in the intervening yearsInteresting remark by Greg / @Empty Vessel in this thread:

. Thank you for the thread @nmalleus , some very useful resources and big thanks to @otristan and others for the very useful extra information! Extremely appreciated. 
Hopefully I'm able to contribute some tips, videos etc. too before too long.

What is up with great sound designers and New Zealand?
I already know 3: GoldBaby, Tim Prebble, and yourself are there.
Maybe I should move there and infuse myself with the powers of the island!

I know Tim and Hugo, not sure I would align myself with such mighty individuals but thank you!What is up with great sound designers and New Zealand?

I highly recommend it btw, it's a very stunning and extremely chilled out place. Plenty of creative inspiration for sure.

It is a simple drag and drop
Go to the INFO tab, click on the wrench and drop a png file. Done.
