individual tag per control, not just per pedal #434

Open Ratterbass opened 1 year ago

Ratterbass commented 1 year ago

Is there a way to display individual tags per control not just per pedal? Example:

if you use 3 switches with momentary3 configuration you only get to see one tag per pedal, so if you have 2 momentary3 pedals configured you only get two tags.

One workaround would be to assign "empty" controls to the pedal ports that are not in use, but those brings two issues:

  1. You still can't reassign tags for pedal 1 and 2
  2. Only works if the other ports are not in use

So is there a way to assign tags to every control? Or to force to show tags? Also: what does "slot" do? I couldn't find anything on that and changing it didn't result in any behavioural differences

Ok, so this works by using the "empty" controls from control 1 to 6 as thos ehave priority over others for the tags and won't be overwritten.

The idea behind Slot is to assign the Action to one of the 6 display slots available. Unlikely it is never been developed and the slot are assigned one by pedal.

@alf45tar, for my own build (as of now) I am developing the "Slots by Action" instead that "Slot by Pedal" feature

this is a patch (agaist tag 3.2.0) just a proof of concept to show my idea, as of now I only modified the upper row of slots. Before going on I would like to ask you if this could be a correct approach.

If you think this can be also useful to you I will be happy to follow your direcitions, if any!

This is a (sliightly) more complete patch (agaist tag 3.2.0).

It is working fine on my use case (commanding a MOD DWARF via PC or CC or sequences) with a lilygo-t-display-s3 based pedalino, 8 push buttons and 2 analog.

Eureka moment here... I was tinkering and just find out how this works with the slots. I didn't get it working with a 6 button Ladder and today I was trying to assign Pedal 7 to a slot and 4x Momentary 2 configs. Know I understand this can't work that way. I would like to assign a Slot to an Button Action. So every Button can be assigned to a Slot as you wish.

@alf45tar Will you consider inplementing programmable Slot assignment by Button/Action?
