Just tried this out (had a long walk this morning in the *sunshine* to clear my head). It's looking (and sounding) pretty good. A couple of suggestions: The label text could be changed to show the current state making things clearer for those less familiar. Report these states via the log. This helps two classes of CLI users. The blind is the obvious one. The less obvious is those with motor control difficulties. These may use a heavy or oversize mechanical keyboard while watching the console window rather than either the CLI or the padsynth window. Currently they only get "Need to apply", or "Changes Applied Yes/No" -- Will J Godfrey https://willgodfrey.bandcamp.com/ http://yoshimi.github.io Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Yoshimi-devel mailing list Yoshimi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/yoshimi-devel
