Hmm, I miss adjustable velocity influence at least for cutoff, but better everything. Same for aftertouch. The middle and right-click on labels is an interesting idea and the explanation texts are very nice. A highlighting effect on mouse-over could give a hint that the labels are clickable. Oh, and you could have used left-click. A statusbar could show as much as possible of the texts and point to middle-clicking to see more. The MIDI binding could also be shown in a statusbar. "Memroy Mode"? ;) I think I understand what you want to achieve with the patch handling, but those 3 modes are just scary. I would like to have a patch browser. If there are changes to a patch and the user switches to another one, you could always create a "buffer" and list it as child of the original patch. Then there should be options to save the buffer over the original, or to save it as new patch. I like to keep my patches in project folders (everything belonging to a project in one folder). Makes backup and restore easier. So I can save a patch anywhere, but how does the patch bar at the bottom of the window behave, then? LASH support would be good. http://lash.nongnu.org/ The Patch menu items really belong into File. Multiple instances in one would be helpfull if you want to do a full arrangement. Would be like running several instances, except that they're accessible via one window and appear as one module with several i/o pots to the outside world. You could use a single checkbox in those cases where you have Off/On radio buttons. I recently saw a Korg mixer that uses red and blue lighted circles around its knobs to indicate wether they're bound to MIDI or not. I hope you had or will have a look at http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2007/04/27/not-knobs-5/ http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2007/05/01/fan-sliders/ and especially http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2007/05/01/sliders-with-text/ ;) --- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Design for Free Software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
