ControllSlider in ProControll
Sep 18th, 2009, 9:14am  
Hey all,
I'm looking for an event-oriented way to get access to the slider data from my joystick. With all the other ways input is available in ProControll (buttons, cooliehat), you can use the 'plug' method, so you don't have to use the 'get' methods every couple milliseconds to acquire the new button data. Is there any way to do this with the sliders and sticks in ProControll, or is the only real solution to start a new Thread and poll the stick every couple milliseconds?
Thanks!

(anticipating the question ...)
Perhaps I should explain what I'm doing. I'm planning on using my joystick to interface a GUI that communicates with Supercollider over OSC. It's kind of important that the audio output get priority, since I'm planning on using it in a performance situation - so I'm planning on using noLoop() in processing, and redrawing ONLY when the gui needs updating, rather than 60 times a second.  Thus, I'd like to avoid having to start another Thread just to find out the slider values intermittently.
