Add (configurable) alpha for notes #102

Closed csillag closed 2 years ago

csillag commented 3 years ago

It would be great if we could add alpha to the notes.

Ideally, it should be possible to configure the alpha as a function of the current position of the note (as it is "falling" down), so that it's possible to set it up in such a way that it's almost totally transparent near the top, and then it gradually solidifies as it approaches the bottom.

Here is an example of the desired effect:

To generate this example, I have applied the desired alpha to the output of MIDIVisualizer at a later stage of the processing, which makes my process vveeeeeeeerrrrrryyyyyyy ssssslllllllooooooowww. It would be much faster to add the alpha in MIDIVisualizer, because I had to calculate it for every single pixel, while MIDIVisualizer should only have to do it once per note...

Thanks.

Hello! Sorry for the very late notice, but this was added in v6.5 (a year ago, time flies)!
