Hello All,
I have wanted something in all 3 of my Viri and it seems like a relatively straightforward feature that might even be accomplished over a pint or two
The current three knob modes are Jump, Snap and Relative.
Jump immediately sets the value to the current knob position.
Snap waits for you to pass the position before altering the value.
Relative changes the value "as much as it can" given the position of the knob.
My request would be a new mode called "Scale" which would work similar to the Moog Little Phatty in that it scales the value as the knob moves. An example:
Assume the value of the param is 50 (of 0...127) and the knob position is currently 100. As I move the knob clockwise towards the max position (127) the value would change between 50 and 127 but scaled to the actual knob position movement of 100 to 127. So in the space of 27 positional increments of the knob the value will actually go from 50 through 127.
Another example might be if the value is 100 and the knob is at 50...the knob can turn clockwise until it gets to the 100 before it effects the value. However, if the knob is turning counter-clockwise it would adjust the value in the same scaling fashion as above - only towards zero.
Regardless of knob position or param value, if you were to tweak the knob back and forth over a small position change the value and knob position would eventually become 1:1 as they slowly "meet in the middle."
The advantage of this mechanism is that you avoid abrupt jumps but you ALSO get the full range of the knob as you would expect without having to turn one way then start turning the other way, etc. It works wonders for tweaking on the Little Phatty and I would love for the TI to have this feature. This is really the only thing I feel is missing from the TI as a performance synth - for me
Who do I need to send gifts to?
THANKS!
