Add parameter for velocity #6

Open sorskoot opened 4 years ago

it might be useful to send the velocity with the notes

Jacquesmk2 commented 4 years ago

Yes. And I suppose that we could even define the Velocity automatiquely, depending on how fast we press a button. I mean, buttons are unpressed by default, and a tiny software that would analyse the time between unpressed/pressed state and transform this data into Velocity… but it sounds quite a lot of work.

The difficulty here is the stream deck software itself. I noticed it's not very accurate with its timing. The events seem to be 120ms apart at a minimum. The stream deck won't be suitable as a replacement for a launchpad for example, its just too slow. I think the stream deck could be very helpful as a companion device for things like program changes and sending controller messages.

It's already a great job, Timmy. And perfectly okay to preview drum samplers kits and synth presets on the fly.
