Which CC is the source here?

As you can see, it's impossible to know which CC is the source for a modulation slot until you click on the menu. I recommend using a shorter name without any words (just CC #xyz will suffice)!
Thanks

Suggestion noted. Not sure whether it will make it into the 2.x series.

It looks like all that's needed is replacing some strings, which is like a one minute thing to do?

Well, it needs to render differently in the menu and the box, and then I need to make sure I don't screw up the parser/saver strings (which are almost, but not exactly what you see in the interface). So seemingly trivial, but with screwup-potential. And I'm lazy. And you can use the extra clicking to check. Or learn to use low-numbered (short names) midi controls. I can go all day.

Those are not really good arguments when good UI/UX is concerned. But hey, it's your call - I just reported an issue that seemed like an easy enough fix. I can understand the screwup potential, but you're a good programmerelcallio wrote:And I'm lazy. And you can use the extra clicking to check. Or learn to use low-numbered (short names) midi controls.

In fact, I don't think that showing the General MIDI names of CCs is of any help in a product that doesn't HAVE to conform to General MIDI at all, which is where TX16Wx falls, IMHO.

Midi CC names have nothing to do with General Midi (or any other officer). General Midi is a sound layout standard for playback of Midi files with semi-similar sound across devices, created at ~1986 or so. The Midi CC names are canonical names for the control usage assignments as defined in the original standard, existing to ensure interoperability between devices such as pedals and dial controllers vs. synths from different manufacturers (i.e. sustain on/off is always sustain, etc, and the external device/sequencer/synth all agree). While the names might be of less importance nowadays, with everything assignable anyway, for old shaggy people like me it still feels like a big deal.
My point is that while I agree that the "Midi Continuous Controller #123" names are way to long (these are the unnamed controllers btw), I really like having canonical names when available. So there is the issue of consistency also.

On another midi topic, how can I use a modwheel to dynamically crossfade between layers in the x- or y-axis in the wave matrix, or to control group cross-fading?
