Knob value increasing or decreasing

[TH14]

How can I know if the knob value is increasing or decreasing?

I would really appreciate your help.

Create an event case for "Value change":

If the current value is greater than the previous, the value is increasing. If the current value is less than the previous, it's decreasing. Pretty simple. What are doing to compare? Shift register, the event structure?

[TH14]

Well the problem for me was in getting the previous value of the knob.

Can it be done using a shift register?

Thank you for your help. I'm on it.

Yes, of course! (A feedback node is even simpler though). 😄

We haven't learned about the feedback node yet, so I prefer using a shift register.

A minute of reading will cure you of that. 😄

Feedback nodes work exactly the same as shift registers, they just are not necessarily attached to a loop.

Of course with a value changed event, you don't get the same value if the knob is operated by the user and the last seen boolean will stay forever.

With a feedback node, you get the state since last update, which if often unchanged. You can easily latch the boolean logic to simulate the event behavior though (not shown).

Here's code using a feedback node.
