Value display #26

Closed polluxsynth closed 10 years ago

polluxsynth commented 10 years ago

Wouldn't it be more practical if the value shown in the display when the knobs are turned was, for instance 0.0 to 10, instead of 0-255? I agree that 0-255 is probably very useful for debugging, but for an ordinary user, 0.0 to 10 would better match what is on the panel.

gligli commented 10 years ago

It's not meant as a debug tool, it's just the most precise scale that can still be displayed. Maybe 0-99 would be enough precision tho, even if I personally prefer 0-255.

polluxsynth commented 10 years ago

I seem to recall reading in the p600fw manual that the internal resolution is even higher than 0..255 ?

I personally think 0..99 (or 0.0 .. 9.9, 10) would be more user friendly and gives sufficient resolution.

Yes, the lowest pot scanning is resolution is 8bits but it can go up to 12bits for critical ones. It does seem more user friendly, so maybe I should do it that way, I'll have to think about it.

gligli commented 10 years ago

0.99 or -50..49 depending on the pot now, it does seem better that way :)
