FR- improvements for midi control

[disturb]

Add a soft takeover mode for the midi contollers that don't have infinite knobs (for when you'll switch from dock to dock), and we have ourselves a freakin sweet FR

Oh yeah. That "latch mode" or some solution to knobs being in a random place after switching docks.

Yeah great ideas here! Workflow improvements as big as this get me very excited. Thanks for the support.

Here is a cool idea I stole from someone in a differnet forum.

What about designating one Knob/CC that will always control the last VST parameter you clicked on?

like a reverse midi learn ?
What would tha be useful for ?

... better still: the VST parameter the mouse hovers over ...

You don't have to use mouse-drag all the time to change a value ... also, it works much faster than mouse-drag if you use an endless rotary encoder, set to relative-mode ( as implemented in mGUI )

Not quite. More like a dynamic midi learn where the CC is static.
It would be useful because you could navigate away from the VST's GUI and still have control. Also, you get the benefit of using a midi controler (smoother) instead of a mouse.

I like click/move better than hover because mice have a tendancy to move on their own, and you might want to use the mouse for sequencing/editing/mixing at the same time.
of course make it a toggle function so you can lock it.

I think the mouse wheel is supposed to work with hover on XT component parameters. I don't know if the host can capture what you are hovering over in a VST's GUI. Adding a mouse wheel control to last VST parameter moved would be kind of neat

while I don't have any ideas to add to this wonderful topic, I'm a big believer in the ideas being mentioned here. More intuitive control is finally on the radar for most audio software - something I'm surprised wasn't addressed years ago. cheers, Brendan.

Brendan-
I'm hoping that because we sank low enough to whore XT in our Sig with a little free advertising that whoever is actually coding XT2 will give us a listen...
