Digital Sequencer (XP) expander for settings #121

Open firolightfog opened 2 years ago

Dear Bret,

This is a (very) low priority proposal for some potentially commerical/paid expander modules. The features are already available in Digital Sequencer and Digital Sequencer XP (aka DS(XP)) anyway but there may be users thinking of financially support you or would prefer some comfort in changing the parameters.

Currently the RANGE/SNAP/S&H settings are buried into the context menu. Moving the expander modules close to DS(XP) would

Having polyphonic outputs they can also work as stand alone modules providing fixed voltages. (Similarly to BogAudio PolyCon.)

The currently used RANGE values ( 0 to 10, -10 to 10, 0 to 5, -5 to 5, etc.) are presented differently. The top columns could set the upper limit (i.e 1, 3, 5, 10) and depending the BI/UNI settings the lower limit could be mirrored (-1, -3 ,-5, -10) or simply 0. The result would be the same set of options found in DS(XP).It's just easier to work with this GUI.

I'm not sure that this proposal will make it to your development list but I thought to leave here a note anyway. I also wanted you to know that I appreciate the effort you put into your modules and I went bananas after having the chance for testing the alpha of Digital Sequencer XP. It's absolutely massive!

Best regards, Andras

I think that the idea of releasing an expander as a paid add-on is an interesting idea! I'll keep this in mind, but I have so many fun modules to consider that this might be lower on the priority list. Thanks for taking the time to offer these concepts!!
