Control Panel Pages - 8 knobs...:(

Post by matthewjumpsoffbuildings »

The simplex mode feature is aweseome but its annowing having only 8 knobs visible at a time...

when in simple mode the panel should expand to show all the knobs...and when in normal mode the option should be there also to expand the control panel...

and coloring of knobs on the control panel woud be a nice touch.

also some quick drag-to-control function so like controlling a knob with the output of any module, we can just do a control link by dragging from one of the control knobs onto the knob we want it to control.

also easy re-ordering of knobs, say if i want to move a knob so its close to another knob, but thers other knobs in the way, well some kind of move up/back/left/right option would be nice

:P

Hi matthew ! :D

if you havn't already and you're into this kind of control you really should consider hooking up a midi controller with a ton of knobs, assigning each knob to a controller. That way you can control all patches, and the ordering is up to you. 8)

Although I'm pretty happy with the way it works now, you might have a point in that all 32 knobs could be visible all at once for easy access.. So I've added it to the feature request list.

Thanks.

thanks - having all controls visible would be much appreciated - while i can use a midi control surface, for ease of use and access, its just better to have them show.

my usability design teacher always said that things like tabs, scrollbars etc, things that break up what should be instantly accesible, are a usability nightmare - its just good design to make as many controls accessible as possible...and 32 is not that many to solicit being broken up into groups of 8 - when your in full mode true, space is precious, but when its in simplex mode theres no reason why all 32 shouldnt be visible

my 2c :D its a minor thing anyway.
