| Summary | 0006034: Control Surfaces "Stubborn" Feature : devices w/ touch should ignore moves without finger | ||||
| Description | For motorized faders such as Mackie Control, Ardour should: - ignore movements made without finger touch (because accidental) - wait 1s after the movement ends, then send to the surface the previous value as feedback to reposition the fader in a stubborn fashion :) # Discussed on IRC on 2014-11-17: (01:03:39 PM) FlorianBd: Hi guys :) Not a priority but a detail: control surfaces usually ignore faders movements when done without touch. So e.g if I move a fader using a plastic pen, it should come back to its original position and the mix is not affected. That allows engineers to put their documents / remote controls on the console without bothering about messing up the mix by mistake. (01:04:41 PM) las: FlorianBd: not really correct (01:04:56 PM) las: FlorianBd: (1) many devices with faders don't have touch (01:05:22 PM) las: FlorianBd: (2) if the device supports touch detect, then the physical interaction you've just described should work (01:05:43 PM) las: FlorianBd: (3) how this interacts with the DAW depends on whether it is using full write mode or touch mode or other automation moders (01:06:32 PM) las: FlorianBd: what i *think* you might be saying is that ardour is not sending feedback that would correct a non-human-motion of a fader (01:07:07 PM) las: FlorianBd: and we do that to reduce the amount of data we send. sending the same value over and over is stupid, and will break some controllers (not permanently) (01:07:11 PM) FlorianBd: las: yes (01:07:58 PM) FlorianBd: las: if we take the example of Cubase, it will wait about 1s and then put back the fader (in addition to ignoring the move) (01:08:30 PM) las: FlorianBd: this is the sort of thing that at this point probably just needs filing away in mantis unless you plan to immediately cook up a patch (01:08:55 PM) FlorianBd: las: that's why I said it's not a priority :) (01:09:10 PM) las: FlorianBd: noting it here makes it less than zero priority (01:09:37 PM) las: FlorianBd: it isn't as if mantis drives development work,but if things like this just get chatted about on IRC, they are gone basically forever (01:10:04 PM) las: FlorianBd: in this case, filing a feature request with a sensible title and then just pasting this conversation would be fine | ||||
