I noticed that the popup only appears if I assign the button to a Footswitch. if I use a MIDI, a CV or the MOD UI to controls the plugin, it doesnât shows the popup on screen.
It is a lv2-hmi.h/HMI restriction or a plugin limitation?
In my case: Iâm using the Chocolate MIDI to controls some plugins on/off state. But, unfortunately, it doesnât have a way to give me a feedback (it doesnât have Footswitches LEDs like Dwarf has and its 7 segments display isnât configurable).
My idea was using this new plugin to give me a feedback.
I think this is quite an interesting use case! We could have an extra control âlong-press modeâ which toggles between latching <-> momentary
thatâs correct, its currently not possible to assign CV signals to lists and triggers. For the Looperlative in specific, It already uses double and long presses internally, so Iâm not too sure how these 2 plugins would mix.
a small oversight, I guess it makes the most sense for the led to stay on as long as the popup, Iâll tweak this soon
This is currently indeed restricted. Before the 1.12RCâs plugins could only change actuator fields displayed by the HMI (name, value, LED etc.) so hmi-widgets could only be used on an HMI assignment. We have some more improvements in mind for the hmi-widgets, so Ill add this to that list!
Perhaps it would even be better to have a ânotificationâ plugin, which handles this specific use case.
Loving this plugin! Makes my crazy cc toggle to note toggle mess of plugins for momentary CC pedals unnecessary! Plus now those momentary cc stomp pedal switches can do triple duty with single/long and double presses!
My only request is that it appears that the output high/low state isnât saved with the pedalboard/snapshot. Therefore, when I save a pedalboard or snapshot with the reverb plugin turned on, when I recall that pedalboard or snapshot, the reverb will always be in the off position, making snapshots useless!
Yes, some sort of notification being triggered as a popup for when a value is changed via MIDI or CV would be so helpful, but thatâs getting a little OT so I wonât go on and on about it here!
Did some testing with this setup at band practice last night and noticed thereâs a slight lag when using single press to turn fx on/off. This is obviously because the plugin is âlisteningâ to make sure the press wasnât a long press or the first half of a double press.
Itâs not terrible but I had hopes that this would finally be THE solution for toggling a momentary MIDI CC button and with the lag it doesnât seem like it is.
Yes, the CV signal is send when you release the switch. It could have been right on press but it would put on the effect assigned for short press the put it off when long press is detected⌠a bit strange I think.
perhaps another âtriggerâ mode can be added? so it does not wait for the press release.
it should be separate, as there can be a use case for having distinct signals for single/long/double press events. if single press event triggers every time, it is not very nice.
but if there is a separate, dedicated signal for âtrigger a cv pulse as fast as possibleâ mode, I think that covers all cases then.
Updated to the latest and plugin state still seems to be not saving with snapshots, but it IS saving with pedalboards. Can we get snapshots, too?
Also, any chance of getting an immediate mode on single press like @falkTX was suggesting?
Thank you so much for listening to our requests and working so hard to improve this platform. I know we keep asking for more and more, but I do want to make sure you know how grateful I am for your hard work and this badass platform youâre developing!
Haha IT WORKS! When I was testing, I only turned long press all the way down and totally forgot to also turn down double press! So when doing that, single press is never activated and long press becomes a quicker single press. Works great. Maybe âLong Pressâ should be renamed âTimed Pressâ or something now to reflect this change and make its behavior clearer to users since bringing its value below a certain threshold basically disables single press and makes it an even faster single press?
What is this sorcery??? VERY happy to have this available.
It seems like you guys are very stretched for time and have to carefully prioritise what you do. (Whoâd have thought it, eh!? )
While I know itâs neither pleasant nor healthy to be so stressed all the time, it is an absolute pleasure to see you slaying it by constantly going for value-for-money (in practical terms; providing the most impactful tools for creative types, given the energy you can truly dedicate to a given project) and listening to the people who are engaged. Smart. This plugin is an example of that.
I know you canât pay bank-loans with kudos, but I hope a bit of appreciation will help ease the burden.
