It only takes something like a 20° turn to go through the whole value range. This makes it extremely fiddly to adjust it. I’d expect around 270 - 360°. Ideally this would be configurable.
I’m aware that the “list” control could kinda replicate this functionality but it takes way more work to enter the values manually and this representation is a bit too small.
Problem #2: The faders in my configuration get stuck at more or less random values and it takes multiple turns in order to “break through” this value. It only seems to happen if I turn the potis rather slow. I mapped the faders like on the screenshot below
when number of distinct display values go bellow 16, the pot automatically switches to an “encoder” mode. In that mode the steps stay equal and encoder like. When designing this in the very beginning of the project we found it strange when pots with low number of values required dramatically different travel to change from one value to another. Also, it was not in line with other controls such as lists and pads. The Lua function and formatter can be use to completely take control of how this is processed.
Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean. The current implementation needs very small physical travel in order to hit the values which is very hard to do. I don’t see the use case where it’s not desirable to have precise control over a small value range. Lists on the other hand take a lot (even a little bit too much for my taste) physical travel to change a value.
Could you please elaborate on this? In my understanding, the formatter only has an influence on the displayed text so it must be the function. When I create a very basic function like below to keep a value 0 and assign it to a poti, the MIDI value still changes above 0. This prevents me to do value scaling without jumps. What seems to be missing is something like event.preventDefault() in JS to prevent further processing down the chain.
function zero(obj, val)
local msg = obj:getMessage()
msg:setValue(0) --will emit 0 after 1 is already emitted
end
