MIDI Remote, Relative value mode

[u-man]

@thomas_martin

Maybe you’re right but what i said is base on my own experience with the API and I’m not a developer at all. I’m building a full console with thousands of different controls, various sysex feedback, tens of subpages for various areas. and it all works pretty well to me.

I am too not a developer. Nice for you that your stuff works, but it does not work pretty well for me, not at all, to be more precise.

@thomas_martin

Relative encoders are very well handled by MIDI remote. There’s a choice of different relative mode and all parameters can benefit from it.

No, there are not very well handled by MIDI remote. They are handled VERY basic with no scaling options at all. If you want more, you can do it only via API and then as stated by others here, it is very complicated to handle.

@mlib

Wholeheartedly disagree. If they were well handled by MR, relative encoders would have a provision, both within the API and the mapping assistant, to handle scaling factors. If you’re ok with 7bit resolution, then it’s fine I guess. Especially since MR includes options for 3 different standards for relative CC values, something the old Generic Remote did not.

I 100% subscribe that. A TRUE statement, as same as the following:

@mlib

Personally, I was immensely excited about MR when it was first announced and later almost equally disappointed as I was finding all of its bugs and shortcomings.

Still own you a beer
