How about a little LED graphic in a corner that lights up when there is an update, and the user has the option to set it's brightness level? It could have a user definable dimmer so it can be as unintrusive as a user wants. On Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 6:08 PM, Tres Finocchiaro wrote: > > On Mar 6, 2

Here is the thing. Midi is a two way street.. If some one uses LMMS as their sequencer, and makes volume changes in LMMS then sends that sequence data back out over midi, the music volume will clip. This would be highly undesirable. Instead it would be better to have the option to normalize the mid

Hmm. I find pop ups very useful most times. What if you made it "a new version is available" like an alert message (hoovering box in a corner) you didn't have to click ok? It just fades out itself. That would be fine for everyone, at least if it only popped up once, and then didn't bother you again

Couldn't we offer something like a normalize toggle that when checked scales midi input to fit the 200% range, but when uncheck scales only to 100%? That way people can choose how they want to deal with the problem on a per instrument basis. On Thu, Mar 6, 2014 at 2:06 AM, Vesa wrote: > Thinkin
