Matrix Modulation System - Last Call for bugs fixes & changes!!

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart ah yes ok - so if your component isn't in a panel at all the the dragger remains on top of any other ui component i.e visible at all times (when that source is selected). Will DM you a video

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart Is there a way to make the source select buttons behave more like a radio group? At the moment if you click an already selected button it deselects it and hides the draggers.

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH yes that's intended, otherwise you will never get back the behaviour of showing the accumulated mod value. How would you do this instead?

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart ah yeah I see. This might be a me problem / ui design problem (for me).

My source select buttons show the selected modulator's controls and a little border around the selected button to show which one is selected. That doesn't change when clicking the source select button again (good) but I guess I need a way of communicating what the mod system is showing in terms of why the mod ranges change, and probably another button element to display it's state.

I'm not 100% sure that other devs show the accumulated mod range.... actually some do, some don't, but not either / or, they display it on top of the current mod range.

[DanH]

If we could get a delete button in the Mod Matrix itself for each row that would be super useful!

I'm pretty sure that's the case, otherwise you end up with invisible modulation that is super annoying.

[Christoph Hart]

Alright, the z-order should be fixed now, it also monitors the slider's visibility and hides itself when the parent slider is hidden.

Yes good point, noted.

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart Nice, thank you! So I need to test more but I'm having to click a source button twice or more to get the draggers to stick after a compile. I'll test some more tomorrow.

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart So I'm not convinced that the accumulated range is helpful / necessary. 11 years of using Serum almost every day and I never sought to know what accumulated range would look like. You often only modulate a parameter with one source, and if you add more sources then I think you accept that there are limitations to what can be displayed.

Having said that if people find the accumulated range useful then crack on, but would it be possible to remove the 'off' state of the source select buttons if desired? i.e a source button has to be 'active' at all times

[Christoph Hart]

@DanH sure, this could be simply a property of the floating tile then, no?

[DanH]

@Christoph-Hart perfect!
