…"need"?
What for, in this case anyway? It's not much about input velocity, and there are no MPE features in it…
I don't actually see anything on the template Global tab that's a useful addition to this device, especially if the goal is to keep Easy Screens as simple as possible.
In truth, not yet being an MPE user I find that tab pretty obscure and uninteresting overall, except for velocity and pitch-bend ranges, not really applicable in this case, but both of which could be pulled out and put on one of the existing tabs, I suppose, and take up much less space. Pitch bend could be cool, though it never occurred to me to try it. What else do you see there that should be included in this device, or is always going to be important for any user to have access to?
My original fit on a 1920 x 1080 screen; is that a big screen for a desktop these days? It's my small screen! And my set up is definitely not high end… What's the size guideline for devices/GPresets?As for making the GUI smaller, the newest version you posted fits on my screen. I'm actually using a desktop, so I imagine most people will have the same problem with the previous version.
This Screen was built very slowly and with much care with all those points in mind, to the best of my trial and error knowledge so far, I can assure you:) And for me, it's just right!Anyway making GUIs smaller is takes a bit of planning and trial and error. I try not to use more controls than needed because it will end up being too large. I also try to lay things out in rows and group certain types of controls together(buttons, switches, etc).
IMO, it's as useful (and much more interesting) for designed devices to reveal other designer's perspectives, as it is for them to all to meet some LCD basics.
I'm glad to know now that it didn't suit you, naturally, and will be happy to rebuild anything for various expected user requirements, once I know better what those are. My choice in future will now be to build two versions whenever needed, one for big screens, with all the critical controls visible at once, even if there are tabs for some other stuff (hopefully not…) and another as small as possible, especially to provide choices for users who can't make their own guis.
Yes, it does, thanks again. I really appreciate all and any feedback. Especially about levels. They ALWAYS drive me nuts and I'll definitely keep them much lower from now on! This sounded great here, but I hadn't notice how high the Global level was set, dunno why—I don't recall even looking at that… Very useful reminder!The only other thing I would recommend is turning it down a bit because its clipping even when I lightly press a key. Although you can always turn things down manually, it creates a bad impression if the first thing you hear is clipping. I hope that helps.
