Hi, I am using OSC and trying to work out how I can create a Pads (Button Grid) to assign Colour Palettes.

Idea being I have a slider for dimming and pads for colours.
I would like to expand on the idea by having another set of Pads for ODD lights (All be same colour or ODD and EVEN colour change).

Trying to build a busking Interface, few intensity presets and patterns, but the ability to choose colors and if they fade or Jump on the fly

Thanks
Nathan

Hi,

One way would be to have one grid per color palette entry. Then activate the proper grid via OSC.

This helped.

I was rethinking. it would be nice to choose palettes in OSC.
I want to make a bunch of colour effects (Fade left to right, step from Middle and etc).
then rather making 20 effects for each colour, just change the values of palettes.

Alternativey,

Posible to have a master layer with Colour Palette selection, and then use Relative mode based on the pallette in the master layer (Currently its a relative hue adjustment)

Hi,

There's now a way to share the values of sources by using the grid as a background for other grids. There's also a way to switch the background of a grid with a formula. So you might be able to have only one grid per color palette entry and one grid per hue effect. Then in your grid with the color palette, you select the background corresponding to the hue effect you want.

Sorry,

Im struggling to understand.

with another way of thinking as you mentioned formula. Is there a way to formulate the value to another grid?
Create a Grid called "Master"

And then in another grid formulate the value of an attribute to that grid? It would be similar to how it currently works, But would allow me to reposition the grid. So its ONLY the values and not the position.
Might be tedious to go throw each attribute to formulate, but doable?
