Display outgoing MIDI velocity

Post by monospace »

Another feature request: it would be super helpful if the control app could display the outgoing MIDI velocity level.

Because of my specific setup (my computer is in a rack 10ft away, so I can't see the MIDI monitor in SD3) I'm doing most of my tweaking on an iPad, and depending on the sample it's not always obvious how "hot" my outgoing levels are.

That's very doable. I could just display it in the velocity curve area.

That would be perfect.

Doesn’t the thres graph show this already? Although it does scroll off the viewing area very quickly.

From what I can tell the thresh graph is a representation of the signal detected by the device. What I would like to see is the MIDI velocity number that gets sent out after all the internal processing.

Already added. It took about 3 minutes to implement.

Good timing - I decided to rotate my monitor 90 degrees (portrait mode). I have eDRUMin control on the bottom, SD in the middle and SD mixer up top. Will be handy to see velocity in the control app.

Story behind this. I had my wireless keyboard up on my Alto monitor and it feel behind it while playing and somehow the Windows 10 keyboard combination to rotate the display (that I didn't know about) was pressed as it fell. I have my monitor on a Pyle stand that rotates so instead of fixing I physically rotated the monitor and like it.

Another request, related: would it be possible to get visual numerical feedback when adjusting the rimshot/sidestick settings, as well as the positional sensing? I have 3 identical PD-80Rs, for example, and it would be useful to see if, and by how much, I need to tweak individual settings for each. Right now I'm eyeballing it, but I'd like it to be more precise.

This could just be shown while adjusting those settings, no need to clutter up the interface permanently.
