Remove hidden widget isn't unhiding widgets?

Question

Hi there,

I've got a file which within the Rate parameter I'm trying to get the !Rate (or any !... for that matter) to show in the VCS.  Using the VCS editor I can see that it says show hidden widgets and it lists Rate.  However, when I click on it to unhide nothing happens it seems.  I've also tried using show all hidden widgets - same thing.  

Where am I going wrong please?

Thanks

Geoff

Hi again,

So here is the file.  The !Rate parameter in the frequency parameter of the Tau player I can't get to show in the widget.

Thanks

Hi Geoff,

Your TauPlayer has its LoopMode parameter set to TimeIndex which means that the rate at which the Tau file is being played is controlled by the expression in the TimeIndex field. The TimeIndex field in this Sound is a function of !PenX, so left/right movement of the Wacom pen will control the rate.

In other words, the Rate field has no effect when LoopMode is set to TimeIndex.

If you would like to trigger the Sound with the Wacom and control the rate of the playback with !Rate, you could try changing LoopMode to Live.
