feature request: overall amount controls about bschaffl HOT 10 CLOSED

Cool!
A range from 0 to 1 for the steps master seems like it would get us 80% of the results for 20% of the effort (said the armchair quarterback).
So just go with that then?

Do you mean "dry/wet" sliders for MIDI ? With values which exceed the 0 (dry) to 1 (wet) limit ?

from bschaffl.

Yes. As a matter of fact, the first title I typed had "dry/wet" in it! :)

I though that would be a confusing way of saying it. 🤷

from bschaffl.

Added to TODO. I will call it "amp master" and "steps master" (already on GUI).

The amp master will be easy to make. Even with values > 1.0 and values < 0.0.

The steps/swing master will really be tricky. At least with values outside the 0.0 .. 1.0 range. Values > 1.0 (or values < 0.0) may result in invalid step positions (= overtaking the respective neighbor steps). This condition needs to be handled. Also the steps master will take effect on the plugin latency. And what will be the result if you make a change during playback?

from bschaffl.

I like the idea with values > 1.0 and values < 0.0 for the steps master too. But I'll start with 0.0 .. 1.0 range.

I though again about how to name this effect.

My idea to call it "master" is bad. What would you expect to hear if a master value is at 0 ? Nothing. But you get the unchanged input signal here.

"Amount" is not clear enough. This would need further explanations.

"Mix" is better. But still, further explanations are needed (mixing what?)

"Dry/wet" would theoretically be the best explanation. But I heard "dry/wet" only for audio signals before. Maybe I'm wrong.

Any (other) idea ?

from bschaffl.

I agree about master and amount.

To me, mix and dry/wet suggest you'll hear the mix of both signals, both the time-shifted and the original signal.
So IOW: I think those are confusing names too.

I think amount is the least bad, but we can come up with something better.

Strength?

from bschaffl.

You are right about mix and dry/wet.

"Amp process amount (or strength)* and "Step process amount (or strength)" would be better. But too long.

from bschaffl.

Sliders added in e6bcc76. I preliminarily used "Amp process" and "Step process". But I'm still open for any better idea.
