Request to add the ability to control volume and panorama levels #289

Open Nahon-od opened 5 months ago

Nahon-od commented 5 months ago

Good afternoon, dear developers. The module contains variables that indicate the volume level of the input audio channels - MIK1 and MIK2. As well as variables that display the level of panning on these audio channels. Please add the ability to control these functions using a trigger and another variable.

I want to use a MIDI controller to control the volume level (and panorama) during an online broadcast. The module for working with MIDI commands allows you to obtain a variable in numerical expression. From -100 to +10 - for working with the volume fader. And also from -100 to +100 - for working with the panorama level. All that is needed is the ability to use these values to control these levels.

@Julusian I too would love to get "balance" or "pan" available as an adjustment per input channel (HDMI and MICs).

I just picked up a Stream Deck+ (Plus) with the rotary knobs and was hoping to be able to configure a click of the knob to switch between volume (input fader which works AMAZINGLY well) and balance (pan) to be able to swing certain inputs between L and R channels quickly without needing to resort to a full MIDI controller.

Currently I'm thinking I'll need to have a click of any of the knobs switch between pages that show the fader level or balance/pan but I'd love to know if there is a better way. I'm using buttons in the touchscreen LCD "bar" that is above the knobs to show the input name + fader level which tracks the current level and provides INSTANT feedback when changing volume with the knob and even shows the level changing when controlling the Atem directly through their software which is MIND BLOWING. At some point I might use a touch of the LCD "buttons" to trigger a headphone solo or something, but the functionality I've been able to unlock can nearly replace a dedicated device (Windows/macOS) running the Atem software and hooked to a MIDI controller out of my current workflow.
