An Issue and A Preference: Per-Voice Retrigger Nonfun; MIDI Presets Title Persistence

Hi. This post is about a (relatively) big issue and a preference. I'll start with the semi-big issue:

Per-Voice Envelope Retrigger is not working for me. I have tried manually moving the knob (all the way both ways) and also assigning a modulator to it. This is something I mentioned in my 'Learning MSF thread' in a post with timestamp: Sun Apr 03, 2022 6:05 pm (second page, toward the top). The reason I'm repeating it here is for emphasis; I don't know if anybody from the Melda team is reading that post (though I highly encourage it!)

The second issue is something I think would be helpful. I'd put it in my Learning MSF thread but the behavior is system-wide which is this: the loaded MIDI Settings preset titles are not persistent when changing patches. I think it would be nice if they were because Main Controllers are persistent and having the label there (the Preset Name) will be helpful in identifying at-a-glance which controller configuration you have loaded. Of course, I'm not sure if this is possible - just another one of my fancy ideas - but I thought I'd throw it out there. Also, if this doesn't make sense then please forgive me because I am only now learning MIDI in earnest (only took me 23 years :help:).

Let me mention that I understand it makes no sense to have the higher-level MIDI Settings presets to be persistent. Indeed, changing a preset would change the regular Controllers which are preset-linked. However, it's the Main Controllers I'm talking about. For example, I have a modest Keystation 88 mk3 which only really has three CCs. I made a Main Controllers Preset for it. When I go back to look, I'd like to see that the configuration is still loaded from the title. If, say, I make a preset for another configuration, again, I'd like to just be able to look and see what's loaded - particularly if my assignments are more than three physical CCs deep.

Thank you!

Hi! Please send me some testing settings for the issue to info@meldaproduction.com .
As for the second - there's a good reason it is like that - you select your Main controllers and then these stay intact, but everything else changes based on the instrument designer's decisions. Not sure how you'd like to change that while keeping this intact. Or is there something not working?

Hi, Sir. I've sent the email regarding the per-voice retrigger function appearing to not work, including a preset which demonstrates the (lack of) behavior.

Yes, I totally understand the purpose of Main Controllers. My request is that the preset title also remains persistent when changing presets. Please see my fancy gif for how the preset title changes back to the default 'Presets' label when changing MSF presets. The purpose of this request is mainly for the convenience of 'at-a-glance' confirmation that the preset the user intended to load is still there. For me, it's not massively useful but it would be useful for users who have complex MIDI controller setups and don't recognize them immediately by reading potentially all 16 Main Controller assignment entries.

In other words in this example, the preset name - keystation-88-mk3 - will stay there in the Main Controllers Presets Title Bar even when changing Global Presets. Yes, the controller assignments are currently persistent but not the title.
