    Hey All,

    I have been looking for an option to bring back the numerical values in the X- and Y-axis of the matrix control bars. I find it extremely important to know, say, at which exact velocity I wish to switch to a different cell, or to make sure the speed value is the same for every instrument in my setup. This is something I really miss form the old VI's. Please bring it back!

    Someone else had suggested to have numerical values for powerpan. I would agree - this could be helpful as well.

    Best,

     Oh yes, we really need numerical values on the X/Y/AB axis on the advanced page, this should be easy to do, because if you go to the basic page they are shown there, but it is a real drag having to go back to the basic page each time to adjust or to see what the settings are. When using Cubase expression maps these values are so critical.

    Also, when adding more cells to a matrix, the matrix control bars automatically divide evenly to the new number of cells, can we have an option to switch this automatic changing off, as I often I just want to add an extra cell, but by adding a cell it destroys all my matrix control settings, and I have to reset them all again, where as I just want to change the top value.

    That's been a problem I always struggled with. I sometimes even end up not inserting more cells because of the inconvenience in re-creating the control bars. The only problem is, where would you insert the new cells in the control bars. If there were crunched into the top portion, one could expand them by hand after inserting, thus leaving the lower ones intact.

    You know, I had always worked with the advanced view, so I never realized that the basic view does show the values. Well, that's at least something, albeit a little annoying having to switch.

     

    However, looking at numbers now, I did notice that the smallest distance between two matrix-control-bar-values is 3, not 1. The problem is, that if I have a short-note patch in the violins, and wanted to add the "harsh" samples at vel 127, they would start playing at minimum 123. Although somewhat minor, it would be nice to be able to set it to smaller values.
