Setting up the button: Up, Hold, Down #752

Closed mediahope closed 8 months ago

mediahope commented 11 months ago
  1. I want to configure some buttons so that when pressed for a long time to repeat the action
  2. Know when releasing is performed - perform another action (before/after, for example)

When you right-click on the currently configured button, a modal window opens for selecting/configuring the noteup function (when pressed), noteup-hold (when pressed for a long time) and notedown (when released). The command assigned to noteup-hold will be executed only if the user presses the key for a long time (Perhaps after 2 seconds of pressing, if he still hasn't released it). Next to the noteup-hold check mark on "repeat": When the "repeat" checkmark is pressed, the command is repeated until the key is released.

There isn't any noteup-hold message in MIDI. What are you suggesting?

I'm sorry, I didn't delve into the existing midi events, but thanks for the useful material! I am also not familiar with and have not read the documentation of the language in which the plugin is written, but I think it can be done programmatically.

To poll the last pressed key every (optimal time interval, maybe 150ms) for 2 seconds or as long as the key is pressed. This way we will know when the moment of the button is up and how long it has been pressed.

The feature suggestion was based on what I saw in the driver for arturia beatstep.

Thank you!
