Automatic / Default LED feedback. Tell us your requirements here!
Hello all!
It has been a couple of months since we soft launched Control Surface Studio and it has became clear that Reactions are just too complicated and time consuming for adding LED Feedback for Mappings.
This needs to be greatly simplified. Trying to figure out the right combination of Listeners & Conditions for a simple mapping is too complicated and is getting a bit too close to needing to know how Coding works, which isn’t what the App is about.
We want to announce that development of Mapping based LED Feedback will soon begin. This will automatically provide feedback to your controls with little to no configuration required from you.
So we can ensure that the solution we develop fits as many of your needs as possible, we would like to give you the opportunity to add your requirements here.
Here are some points that have already been raised which we will cover:
– LEDs should update when the script first loads and when the active Mode is changed.
– They should be bidirectional (use Live event’s to trigger feedback)
– Ability to send Feedback to a different Control / MIDI Value (some MIDI Controller LEDs exist on a separate MIDI Value to the Control).
– Ability to send Feedback to multiple Controls?
P.S. We will still continue to develop the Reactions Mapping Type but this can be reserved for more advanced / specialist circumstances.
@Pag I like this idea of progressive dropdown menus to dig into the right place. This would greatly simplify the making of Reactions so is something we will definitely look into!
What we are proposing is adding LED feedback by default, directly inside Script mappings. When you add a Mapping you automatically get feedback when you use it.
So lets say you create a Device Parameter Mapping, set as an ‘Absolute’ control. Simply saving the Mapping would automatically add bi-directional feedback for the attached knob.
But you could optionally override the default feedback and do things like send the feedback to a different control, or other things people might want to do?
The important part is that all of the Listener/Condition/Reaction stuff is just done automatically for each Mapping – no configuring needed.
If you wanted to do something a lot more custom then obviously you would still have the Reactions mapping type at your disposal.
