Favorite cable color rotation
Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2019 8:53 am
Hello. It has been a few days since I jumped on the VoltageModular train and I'm quite happy I did.
Congrats on this very cool piece of software, the ergonomic features and DAW integration are beautiful
I'd like to make a little feature request concerning the colors of cables.
I'm keeping max-opacity and cable thickness at 0.6, which is not too thin after all, and with the "random" color rotation I'm getting a fair amount of dark cable colors which are not as easy to see as brighter colors.
I then ditched "random" and set them all to bright yellow, which is indeed very visible, but all in the same color makes patching a little confusing (I realize you can change color at any time after you place the cable, but it's not the best thing for workflow having to do that most of the times).
The ideal solution at least in my opinion would be the ability to restrict the color palette to some user defined "favorite colors" which take part in the customized rotation for every new cable. In my case I'd personally just have 4-5 bright ones in the rotation (kind of what you usually see in modular hardware by the way).
Something like this, just a thought...
Left-click on a color works as it currently does.
Right-click on a color could give the ability to add to the favorite color rotation.
In my opinion it would be a small feature which could improve workflow and visibility to a great extent.
Thank you.
