A few questions in anticipation to getting the hardware (VSN1 + not sure yet)

Is NRPN fully supported? Are there any know limitations on Lua scripting? Can timed events be created (modulation, sequencing, smoothing..)? Can be interactions between different elements be created (ie, a button being a hold trigger for pressure sensitivity of another button, macros,..)? Will VSN1

Is NRPN fully supported?
Are there any know limitations on Lua scripting?
Can timed events be created (modulation, sequencing, smoothing..)?
Can be interactions between different elements be created (ie, a button being a hold trigger for pressure sensitivity of another button, macros,..)?
Will VSN1 GUI edition be visual, Lua, both?

Thank in advance!

1, Yes!
2, Of course, there are limits. For now there's an arbitrary 400 character limit per Event on the module.
3, Yes, there's a timer event you can use for such things.
4, Yup, absolutely. There are global variables you can access from anywhere on the module.
5, The VSNX GUI is controlled by the same lua scripting environment, it has a new api within the library. Using the api you can precisely write to the framebuffer. Of course, we're planning to introduce a simplified GUI-creation interface or workflow in the Editor itself, utilizing the already existing Blocks structure to siplify this process.

Thanks! that was quick. I was always attracted by grid's modularity, but it wasn't after I backed that I learned about its flexibility, still on it. Cool thing the editor works with virtual modules to learn the environment better
