MIDI feedback for layer-mapped clip parameters

[simon]

I've assigned a motorized fader (in absolute mode) to the speed control of a layer, so that it maps to the clip speed of that layer. I start the first clip of the layer, and increase layer speed, let's say from 1 to 5. Now I start the second clip, which still has speed 1 and thus resets the layer speed to 1. However, no MIDI feedback is sent to the controller for the layer speed change, so my fader still stays at the position for speed 5. Only when I move the layer speed fader in the UI a little bit, then a feedback is sent and the motorized fader adjusts its position.

The same is true for the LEDs around a knob btw.

The feature request here is to send MIDI feedback for all mapped clip/layer parameters, so that my MIDI controller is updated whenever the clip of that layer changes.

Just for reference, this is based on an email discussion with Christoph Löbl.

So, after tinkering with this a bit more, I've made the following conclusions:

• There's 11 layer-mapped parameters, 4 for the layer itself (blend mode, master, audio volume, video opacity), and 7 for the clip that's playing (timeline speed, play mode, trigger mode, play backwards, pause playback, play forwards, timeline).
• Only the ones related to the clip are affected by this (because the ones for the layer don't change when changing the clip).
• The timeline already constantly sends a feedback (putting the timeline on a motorized fader is the dumbest thing I did this week though but it's kinda fun to watch ).
• I tested "play mode", "trigger mode", "play backwards", "pause playback" and "play forwards", and they also all receive a feedback every time the clip changes.

Thus the only mapped parameter that does not receive a MIDI feedback on clip change is the speed! Maybe this is rather a bug after all

Just to clarify, I'm talking about the speed control of the layer (the horizontal "S" slider).

Yes, sounds like it.
