Touch Widgets S1-S4 on Touch Screen #295

Open samriccijr opened 3 years ago

samriccijr commented 3 years ago

Please add buttons S1-S4 as Touch Widgets on the touch screen.

I am using zynthian with a rpi4 and a 7 in touch screen (until I purchase my V4 kit). I would like to assign S1-S4 to program changes that change snapshots for my custom instruments in Linuxsampler.

Please consider an option to display the touch widgets as navigation, S- buttons or off.

I use a Studiologic 88 key controller that does not easily send program changes. I prefer not use a nanokontrol or other external device- keep the connections simple.

Thank you!

Can you enable touchscreen widgets and assign the 4 touch buttons to perform required actions?

jofemodo commented 3 years ago

Not currently. The 4 touch-buttons are not assignable. They are hardcoded as they "emulate" the 4 primaryl switch buttons. We could add an option so they could emulate the S1-S4 buttons, what is fine for people having older kit versions.
