Preset "Morph" feature

[SquidgyB]

Would it be possible/feasible to implement a "Morph" feature between presets, assignable to an encoder/pot?

This would allow a smooth transition between two presets, and a performance ability to control external devices in a new and useful manner.

This does come at the risk of overloading the Midi stream as it would necessitate sending midi from all encoders/pots simultaneously, as a stream, while the Morph function is tweaked.

I'm unsure whether this would be possible for the processor and/or within the constraints of the midi data flow; if not, maybe limit the feature so a subset of parameters rather than all at once, configurable via the web interface.

i'm not sure what do you mean

Hi, thanks for the response :)

So, the idea would be similar to how Octotrack Scenes, or OXI Instruments E16 handles presets.

The morph function would allow smooth fading between two presets - one encoder/pot would control the Morph function, preset "A" and preset "B" would be selected using encoders/menu function.

Controlling the "Morph" encoder would set all midi CC's to a value between preset "A" and preset "B"'s stored values.

For example, if preset "A" has 4 encoders set to the following midi CC values:

Encoder 1: 0
Encoder 2: 127
Encoder 3: 63
Encoder 4: 0

...and preset "B" has 3 encoders set to the following midi CC values:

Encoder 1: 127
Encoder 2: 0
Encoder 3: 127
Encoder 4: 63

...then the Morph encoder from 0-127 would set the resulting midi CC's to be:

Morph at 0: resulting Midi CC's are the same as preset "A".
Morph at 127: resulting Midi CC's are the same as preset "B".
Morph at 63: resulting CC's are halfway between values of preset "A" and preset "B":

Encoder 1: 63
Encoder 2: 63
Encoder 3: 95
Encoder 4: 32

...moving the Morph encoder 0-127 smoothly sweeps CC values from preset "A" to preset "B".

A "bonus" function would be to be able to press a button to store the resulting midi CC values as a new preset.

I hope that makes sense!

Thanks for the writeup but such complex features don't really fit into the model of the OpenDeck firmware, so no, it's not really possible at this moment.
