Display A MIDI chain activity in the Mixer Display to indicate Data flowing. #1260

Open wyleu opened 3 weeks ago

wyleu commented 3 weeks ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Audio sources appear in the Mixer View indicating easily which chain is in action. MIDI only chains can be used to control external instruments but there is no obvious indication of data activity on that chain outside of the M status icon.
A similar representation of MIDI instruments playing would be beneficial. Describe the solution you'd like A MIDI chain will display a PPM like indicator to demonstrate current volume level of played notes. CC messages could , perhaps be similarly displayed. This doesn't need to be a complete piano roll breakdown of a MIDI stream, merely indicative of chain activity.

Describe alternatives you've considered Keeping the webconf MIDI log page open.

Feels like it should be there.

What would we do for synth or MIDI+audio chains? The DPM is already in use.

How might we indicate different MIDI streams, e.g. from different MIDI inputs?

How might we indicate different types of MIDI data? Note on/off child be a DPM type level indicating velocity, changing colour after a short period to allow subsequent note-on indication.

A structured approach from basic functionality is probably of more benefit

Implement MUTE and SOLO first https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-issue-tracking/issues/1281

Should I close this?
