Hey all;

I'd like to use four (or more) front-panel buttons to select one of four (or more) fixed voltage levels. The buttons should display as radio buttons - that is, activating one would deactivate all others.

At the moment I can't figure out how to do this.. suggestions?

That’s not easy. This patch functions but has some issues.

    No visual feedback for which value is selected.
    Won’t work on zero or negative values.
    You have to hold the button down and turn the knob to hear the change in value.
    Output will be zero on patch load till 1st button press


Would be nice to have an alternate assign mode for the radio button switch modules.

This idea may be over the top, but why not use 4 variations?

That would work, but I hate using variations for this kind of thing.

've found that, once I start using variations in a patch, it's hard to extend the patch by adding new modules, since the new modules have to be programmed in all 8 variations. So at this point, when my patch is still evolving, I don't want to use variations.

So perhaps I'll use that as a final solution when the patch is otherwise mature. Thx.

Using Ctrl+C to copy one or more moduls, press 1 .. 8 to go to another variation, then press ctrl+E to copy the values to those modules makes it go a bit faster.

Hi Jamos,

I was intrigued by this one, so here is my try. It acts as a radio button, but only the lights will not stay lit so you can't see what value was the last pressed. For the rest it kinda works.

Press a key and then press the radiobutton on knobs a1/a4...

Is this what you want?

Sorry, no nord in front of me, but this should do it.

The switches must be unipolar to set the logic, I believe. The OR gates tell the CTL Send modules to send "0" to all the OTHER switches, turning off what ever was previously selected.

If you need something besides Unipolar, combine this patch with what WAN posted.

Requires 4 MIDI CC's.
