https://community.vcvrack.com/t/stoermelders-idea-und-development-thread/10515/320 Collecting ideas for a "flexible control surface module". No promises it will ever be implemented but thinking about its concept won't hurt.
A few thoughts.
- Controls should not be "standard" parameters but custom widgets. This allows any number of controls, in contrast all module's parameters must be known at the moment the module is added to the patch.
-
Controls do have a "target", could be
- Parameter mapping: modifies a parameter within the patch, scaling-options like CV-MAP will be handy.
- MIDI: the device is selected and configured by an expander module, multiple MIDI targets should be possible. Scaling etc. like MIDI-CAT will be useful.
- CV: output ports can be added by an expander.
- Basic Controls needed: trimpot, knob, big knob, switch, button, fader.
- Labels for labeling Controls, something like GLUE's labels.
On the other hand, all these things can already be built with existing modules, except for the flexible surface.
I would love to have such a module. I have been independently thinking about the need for such a thing!
I'm closing this as there is now a module for this: https://community.vcvrack.com/t/introducing-mindmeld-patchmaster-and-routemasters/18812
