Midi rotary - possible to get rotation info beyond 360 degrees?

Hi. Are there any plans to provide deltas rather than absolute rotary

positions? It's great that the knobs don't have stops because I can

use them to rotate displayed objects without worrying about hitting

a physical end. But it would be great if, instead of absolute position

encoding between 0x00 and 0x7f in Midi, I could get deltas from last

position.

 

Are there any such plans? Thanks.

  Hi Dan,

  Thanks for reaching out - great question!

  As I believe Andy has mentioned over email, endless dials are a great suggestion, and are currently a pending feature request for music and MIDI-focused development.

  Our development priority has recently been on Photo and Video, and that will continue to be our focus in the short term. In the meantime, however, our Beta SDK is available to Palette owners - it allows for dials to be assigned as an endless encoder, not simulating a fixed range potentiometer as in MIDI mode. You can also currently assign a Palette Dial to send keystrokes with each incremental turn rather than MIDI CC—even while the Buttons and Sliders are still assigned to send MIDI data. This may be useful for making endless adjustments with the dial. If you have any questions, or would like to know more about the SDK beta, please feel free to contact our team directly (select "Submit a Request" at top right).

  Hi Colin,

  The keystroke method works great for me. Thanks for pointing it out!
