Copy a slider, when you adjust one, have the other change simultaneously?

Hi all,

I was wondering, if it is possible to copy a slider, place it somewhere else on the canvas, and no matter which one you then use to change the input, it automatically changes the other slider too?

I got a pretty big model, with different clusters all over the place that need the input from the same slider. I constantly have to scroll through a lot of canvas to change a slider. Would be great if you could copy them with them functioning as one and the same number…

Thanks!

Not exactly what I wanted, but it will do just fine! Thanks a lot.

I’ve never seen or used the ‘Remote Control Panel’. While investigating it, I added a group - how do I remove it? Or empty the panel?

Click the pencil and drag whatever you have in the RCP towards the bottom end of the panel and off of it.

Of course! :wink: I’ll experiment with it further on another file.

The RCP is a very cool feature - but dual monitors blow it right out of the water.

i like the idea, but never used it much myself because it can’t hold all the things I usually need:

  • no md sliders, no graph mappers

Perhaps because those can be adjusted in size?

Maybe you can use this but you need to test it and always create a copy of your original script

MetaHopper would allow to synchronise several sliders, but if you modify the range of the first, it won’t update the others… for now :smiley:

I found a useful script by @AndersDeleuran in this topic. Instead of outputting just ‘True’ when a slider is changed, the stream index ‘1’ is output for the first slider, ‘2’ for the second slider.

I’m sure this could be streamlined.
