Enhanced midi visual feedback and display modes
baconmonsta opened this issue · 4 comments
On Mutable Instruments Shruthi https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/mutable-instruments-shruthi-1 there is a flashing note symbol displayed on the screen whenever the device is receiving note information via midi, and a flashing tilde symbol when it's receiving midi cc.
Would this be possible to be implemented on minidexed as well?
Another cool addition would be to have different display modes, which could be cycled through. There would be display states, where several TG:s are displayed at the same time, and whether they are receiving midi or cc info.

Agree that this would be useful. (If easier to implement, I think that flashing the LED on incoming MIDI data might do the trick as well.)

While useful for power users, I imagine this might significantly complicate both the code and usage.
Sure, don't see why a led wouldn't do the trick as well.
The display modes are not so important.
Generally speaking though, it would make things easier for not-so-skilled builders (like me) to have a bit more information available for troubleshooting. Even just a message in the console (via hdmi) for first received midi note and first time a TG is playing a sound
You know that you can enable HDMI logging in the minidexed.ini file? Then it will show received MIDI messages. It should be disabled when not needed though, because it can worsen the sound.
I did not know that... Well, that definitely makes debugging easier!
