I've been using VSL and the Performance Tool for about a week now - enjoying both hugely. What an acheivement. [:D]
I've had this idea for some functionality that you may or may not want to consider for inclusion in a future version of the Performance Tools.
When using the tools, the user often has to input values for the Play Zone - 'LoNote' and 'HiNote' - or the Ghost Key, Keyswitch Start Key, Base Function Key, etc. Currently, the user must click the box with the mouse and input with the computer keyboard the actual letter and number of the MIDI note, eg, D6.
My idea is that instead of having to type this information in, the user just clicks in the box with the mouse, then plays the note that is to be entered on the connected MIDI controller keyboard. The tool interprets the MIDI information coming in, and enters that note value in the box. This would negate the need to work out exactly which note you are playing, reach for the computer keyboard and type it in.
There is a Mac software sampler called VSamp which already offers this functionality when setting up sample ranges. It speeds the process up considerably. This would be particularly useful for those without 88-note keyboards, who's keyboards are often transposed, meaning that the physical positions of C1, C2 etc, are not constant.
So, just thought I'd share that, to see whether or not it's something you'd consider.
Best,
Ben
