Wholesale change automation from points to linear

[jugger]

Thanks. I tried with that script but still no effect. Wonder if I’m doing something wrong… So basically as shown in the screenshot, when I click “Execute”, should it immediately change the parameter selected in the lower left corner from points to linear?

What exactly do you have in your file?

P.S. Seems to work here. It changes the ‘points’ in a selected automation to linear. So at the moment all I can say is that there isn’t a big syntax error (or not an obvious one) in that snippet that danoise wrote.

[jugger]

This is what I have there now, and in this situation I click “Execute” but nothing happens.

I don’t know much anything about the scripting so I probably just do something wrong…

I assumed that the lines with – are for commenting so I left them out

[4tey]

Yes the ‘–’ are for lua commenting (danoise put them in probably for reference.)

Could you copy and paste that what you have in AutomationtoLinear.lua file into that file called TestPad.lua? Make sure there is only comments (other than what you are pasting of course) in the TestPad.lua file. Then try executing from TestPad.lua.

Thank you so much, it works now! I think the problem was that I had placed the original .lua file under “User Scripts/Tools”. When I placed it under “User Scripts” and not under “Tools”, it started working

[4tey]

Correct

[jugger]

Now just to learn how to make a tool out of that with a working keyboard shortcut

[4tey]

You’ll be fine jugger. @Raul I believe is good with tools and creating keyboard shortcuts

[boonier]

I made a tool for this; well it changes all automation in a track to one of a kind.

I can clean it up and upload it, as it may be a good starting point for you?

[jugger]

Boonier that would be great, thanks! I basically always use linear over point automation so the more the tool changes at one go the better

ok, it’s a bit rough, but have a go with this

[jugger]

It works really well! Thanks again

In this earlier topic that’s now locked, there is a handy tool to change automation points from points to linear:

Wholesale change automation from points to linear

So I’ve recorded some multi parameter automation for a whole track in one take, but as it defaulted to Points, I would like to change all the recorded automation to Linear. As far as I can tell, it is not possible to change this all in one go, as multiple patterns can’t be selected. I have 6 parameters and as you can probably imagine, that’s a lot of faff to change to Linear. Is there a simple way to do this (without re-recording it), or does it need to be done with a tool? cheers

However this tool fails to install to Renoise 3.2.2.

I wonder if it’s possible to get a working version for the newest Renoise. Or if someone can point to what needs to be changed in the script to get it working, would be appreciated!

I’ve reopened the topic and moved your post into here.

@boonier maybe can help here…

Hey @jugger see attached. It was a simple update. The API had changed a little in a recent update. com.boonier.AutomationType_1_1.xrnx (6.8 KB)

Thanks Boonier! Works like a charm again
