Description
This feature request proposes the implementation of a "Send on Release" option for the Stepped Dial widget in Loopy Pro. The goal is to enhance user control by allowing actions to be triggered only upon releasing the dial, rather than during each intermediate step.
Problems
  • Unintended Intermediate Triggers
    : Currently, when moving between non-adjacent steps on a Stepped Dial, each intermediate step triggers its associated action. This behavior can lead to unintended actions being executed, disrupting the workflow.
  • Lack of Control Over Action Timing
    : Users have no option to delay action execution until the desired step is reached and the dial is released, limiting precision in live performance settings.
  • Inconsistent User Experience
    : The inability to control when actions are triggered can result in a less predictable and less intuitive user experience.
Proposed Solution
  • Implement "Send on Release" Option
    : Introduce a setting for the Stepped Dial widget that allows users to choose between immediate action triggering on step change or delayed triggering upon release.
  • Customizable Trigger Behavior
    : Provide users with the flexibility to select their preferred trigger behavior based on their specific use case and performance needs.
  • Seamless Integration
    : Ensure that the new option integrates smoothly with existing functionalities and does not disrupt current user setups.
Benefits
  • Enhanced Precision
    : Users can navigate to the desired step without triggering unintended actions, improving accuracy in control.
  • Improved Live Performance
    : Delaying action execution until release allows for more deliberate and controlled performances, reducing the risk of errors.
  • Greater Flexibility
    : Offering customizable trigger behavior caters to a wider range of user preferences and use cases, enhancing the overall versatility of the Stepped Dial widget.
