Pop: panel should indicate whether the output port is generating triggers or gates
In Sapphire Pop, when you right-click on the panel you can select "Output pulse mode" and choose between triggers or gates.
However, there is no way to see which mode it is in unless you right-click. It would be better user experience (and documentation for videos and screen shots) to change something prominently visible on the panel near the PULSE port.
I'm considering changing the word PULSE to either TRIG or GATE. Or I might draw a symbol indicating the idea of trigger and gate to the right (rectilinear art).
Also consider adding the "Output pulse mode" to the right-click menu for the output port itself.
Also consider adding pulse-width slider on right-click menu: 1% to 99%. Default to 50%, which leaves current behavior in place. This is like PWM for gate output mode.
Also consider adding a third mode: ramp. Just like a gate is like an integral of a trigger, a ramp is like an integral of a gate: it gradually ascends from 0 to 1.
I ended up adding a button to press. The button lights up in gate mode, dark in trigger mode. So that's enough of an indicator.
