Custom per-note visualisation

[alanjfs]

Goal

Gain an overview of what each event does.

Motivation

Seeing time and duration is great, but some events have a greater impact on your data than others and that's when it can come in handy to have those stand out.

Examples

• If an event represents position over time, draw velocity as a subtle colouring, stronger color means greater velocity
• For events that represents orientation, add an icon of a pair of clock-hands per animated axis
• For arbitrary values over time, overlay a curve onto the events.

UI

See how Bitwig manages this for MPE (per-note data).

Implementation

The application could maybe assign an additional field of Sequentity-specific data to each Event, along with any supported type of visualisation.

Sequentity::Event event;
event.visualise[Sequentity::ClockHands] = { 0.5f, 0.4f, 0.5f, 0.6f, 0.7f };
