How do you set a Sound's check-boxes using a Script?

Question

How would I set the check-box parameter of a Sound, for instance the "SetLoop" parameter of a Sample, from a Script?

I tried the example above but that doesn't work.

I think you need to use a ParameterTransformer to set the checkbox value to a green variable first.

What does "snd" mean in the ParameterTransformer's Transformation parameter? I'm guessing it means the input Sound, but I can't see it documented in either the Kyma X or 7 guides.

yes it means the input sound....

try  ' self debug: snd name' in the transformer script

Answer 1

Thanks SSC, using a ParameterTransformer works:

 

 

Above is a simple example Sound that enables looping of a Sample from a Script. The ParameterTransformer has this in it:

Things to watch out for - note that "setLoop" starts with a small "s", and "true" starts with a small "t".

Here's the example Sound

Answer 2

General rule of thumb in all cases of using ParameterTransformer:

 

* the parameter you want to transform from the script, should begin with lowercase always

* the Sound you want to transform (snd)  should be the one directly connected to the ParameterTransformer, don't expect it to work on anything beyond that scope.

With caps lock key down, double-click on Sample. This changes the check box into a value field where you can type a green variable (for example, ?setLoop).
