Re: [Doepfer_a100] MAQ 16/3

2011-10-20 by Florian Anwander

Hello

I think Phillipe had the way in mind, that many modern user interfaces 
do work:
The display shows usually some standard information (in this case the 
tempo). As soon as you change a knob, the Display displays the value of 
this knob and keeps this display for some hold time. After that hold 
time the display jumps back to the standard information.

By this hold-time trick the display stays at the value-display until you 
stop changing the knobs position.

Whether it is possible depends on the power of the processor. You have 
to pay attention that asking the hold time counter does not affect your 
timing.
