VSN1 Display Config Help

Just got my VSN1 and I'm wondering if there's a way to display a persistent readout of the encoder value in a section of the screen

That should be totally possible, you just need to ensure you don't overwrite it with other screen draw operations (eg. filling the whole screen with black).

Check out the Draw tab in the Grid Editor when you click on the LCD element – that's one place you could put some code that writes the value of the encoder/wheel element. You could also choose to only update the screen when the wheel changes (ie. from the Endless tab on Element 8.

You might find these docs helpful: https://docs.intech.studio/category/draw

It usually best to just throw the drawing function into the Draw event itself, and change the values it's using to draw somewhere else.

Draw function runs all the time, trying to keep a steady framerate.

I have a couple of visualization solutions you could use as a starting point if you'd like.

This whole thing has definitely been a fun crash course in programming lol

I’m essentially using it as a tactile monitor controller for my audio interface via midi messages, so I’ll have to do some tinkering to see if I can view the state of the currently selected monitor source, currently selected output, monitor level, and mute state

They usually output everything in MIDI. And have huge manuals for their MIDI implementation as well.

Just using something like the MIDI monitor on the VSN1 can help you discover what is being sent and when in a trial-and-error kind of way 😄

I was able to get everything sent just fine (my interface has midi learn of every parameter, I just have to hover the mouse and hit CMD+1 and then hit the midi button), it’s figuring out how to read the state of things that I need to learn

But yeah I sure do love Metric Halo haha
