Design feedback - velocity indicators

[dannytaurus]

This is (or at least it started as) a simple, free bass synth called Sublime.

As feature-creep always dictates, I've added more stuff than I intended, and afraid it's getting too busy for the small size.

The thing I'm working on now are the velocity switches and arc indicators around the relevant knobs.

Here, all velocity switches are active for the 5 available knobs:

And here's the same with all velocity switches inactive:

Does it make sense? The velocity arcs are drawn inside the main value arc, and are scaled within the arc value. So, if the knob is at 50% and the current velocity is 64, the velocity arc will be 25% of the full arc.

Does it all make the UI look too busy?

@dannytaurus Not in the slightest, in my opinion. The UI looks really good and the velocity indicators hare small enough not to create clutter. Nice design!

@Bolle Thanks!

@dannytaurus Looks good to me, might need a tooltip to explain how it works, but design wise it's nice.

[dannytaurus]

@David-Healey Cheers. Yeah, tooltip on the V button for sure. A different one for each button too, to describe what it's doing.

Looks great and makes sense to me. Tooltips for sure!
