Very interesting concept AND technique ! Searching the forums to gather some ideas.
I'm in the 'thinking' portion of a special module I'm going to need. The concept is rather simple ... but I'm looking at possibilities to design it on.
Without distracting TOO much from this thread
if I may ...
In an effort to minimize GUI size, I'm looking to build a 'fader/slider' module that could handle a dual role. Using a basic 2-pole switch or 2 place Selector menu ... I will be directing MIDI data [basically CC commands ].
Through the use of a single slider/fader, the User would choose which control they wanted to adjust.
The 'tricky' part ... I would like to use a type of 'sample/hold' routine that, when a choice of 'controller' was made, upon returning to the other choice, the fader would change to 'It's last held setting. In other words ... the single fader is aware of both value states, and switching would maintain these.
It's kind of related [stretching it a bit] to a Un-Do/ Re-Do ... or is that too much of a stretch
Any pointers or links ? I've been trying to think of keywords to search this on !
Thanks for letting me 'bump' this
