Wishlist: press and hold voice buttons for quick access to commonly used parameters from any mode

borfo

I think it'd be useful if you could quickly access certain voice parameters from any mode.  The main parameter I'd like easier access to is the voice velocity/volume setting so I can mix the voice volumes from any mode easily without clicking through a bunch of buttons, but quick access to other commonly used parameters would be useful too.

One way this could be implemented would be to have the voice buttons perform their normal functions on button release if they are pressed and released quickly, but if they are held for more than a few milliseconds, then their normal functionality is cancelled, and the LCD displays a quick access voice parameter menu for as long as the voice button is held.  User can use the pots/encoders to adjust voice parameters while the button is held, and then when the voice button is released, the LXR returns to whatever mode it was in before.

I suppose this "quick access" menu for each voice button could even be an arbitrary collection of parameters that users could specify, like the Shruthi's "performance page".

Actually, another neat mixer-type setting that would be cool to have on this page would be an "aux send" sort of thing - I'm thinking you could attach an effects unit or whatever to the LXR's audio output 3 or 4, and control how much of the signal would be sent to each output...  Maybe have the option to have one or more of these function like a crossfader, so the more you send to one of the aux sends, the quieter the signal to the main outputs gets, or maybe just think of the quick voice menu page as a mixer sort of page, containing four volume settings, one corresponding to each output.

Anyway, all this is just total wishlist stuff. I'll try to stop posting for a while now.  haha.

The more I think about this, the more I think it would be really handy to have quick mixer access and individual controls for each voice's volume in each output - in addition to the straightforward mixer and effects-send uses, one use case I've been thinking about is sending one or more drum tracks to a sidechain on a compressor/gate - it would be possible to do that now, but it's a bit cumbersome...  Having quick access to mixer functionality with direct control of volumes passing through each output would allow you to use a sidechained gate to basically dedicate a track on the LXR to directly mix in a gated drone or whatever from another source.

...and of course you'd also be able to easily mix the voices without having to click through a bunch of menus or dedicate an external midi controller to mixing LXR voice levels.
