it would be nice to have a very simple editor window (similar to a calculator..) to set values. e.g delay times, pan values etc.
Sometimes its hard to set exact time values using the encoder. Idea: Just click on the value, the simple editor opens, the value can be set like in a calculator and be confirmed by a button.
This is a nice and simple suggestion. I completely agree. The ‘ramp’ on the encoder makes it difficult to set delay times. Either you completely over-shoot, or you are going way to slow. That is why some manufacturers have linear encoders + a ‘fine’ setting. Typing it in would however be preferable. When setting times for an entire orchestra you get frustrated real quick.
I had the thought that you might be able to enter values with a keyboard connected to the surface.
But I just tried that and apparently no, you can’t do that. Too bad.
You can type in some things like scene and channel names, but not any rotary controls that I tried, like gate threshold.
