Hey everyone,

we have a few (we think) small improvements to master BPM faders.

a) Show current value on touch interface. Currently we always need to swap between Programmer and Operator which is clunky.

b) Allow fraction increments by holding Shift. This way we can dial in the precise BPM numbers (one decimal is good, two would be perfect - maybe use Shift + Alt as a modifier).

c) Add "nudge" buttons to slightly speed up and slow down the playback speed to we can "beatmatch" FX to the music like a DJ

d) Add config switch to adjust the fader range.
For us, it's completely unintuitive that the fader goes into the negative (as in "run FX backwards").
For us it would be ideal if the fader config would be:
- Default value 120 BPM
- Top Value: 150 BPM
- Bottom Value: 90 BPM (same 30 BPM as above)
This makes the fader very flexible and at the same time more precise to use.

Thank you all for MADRIX

Hello Lefaux,

Thank you very much for your feedback!

It might be easier to use a MIDI controller and a fader to adjust the speed instead of using the mouse.
This would allow you to change the value range, in which the controller is manipulating values. It would also be a way to prevent the speed from being negative. In addition you could us the "Up / Down" interaction type and two buttons to slightly increase or decrease the speed. The value range can be changed in the "MIDI Remote Editor".

"For us, it's completely unintuitive that the fader goes into the negative (as in "run FX backwards")."
- The speed master applies a percentage-based increase or decrease of speed.
- It works similar to the "Pitch" on a turn table, which often has a positive and negativ range (slower --> faster). The only difference is that the effect runs backwards in case of a negative Speed Master or Pitch value.
