Seeing as Ableset can be connected between multiple devices - I thought a cool and extremely useful idea would be to have the option to be able to view text communications that someone can type in live in the moment from another machine.
I feel this would be super powerful - let’s say front of house would like something specific turned down in your tracks. They type in - “Perc down please” it appears on anyone’s machine with Ableset open that have toggled on the ‘Text Communications’ (Insert any title appropriate)
It could work pretty well in the new Canvas mode as well as you can very specifically place where you want your ‘Text communications’ to be.
I guess added extras would be the ability to
- lock off some machines/users from typing into the feature.
- Working out how long messages stay present in the view (whatever is most intuitive/customisable somehow?)
- Clicking on the message changes its colour to show it has been received? (Bonus for midi mappable)
- Any message that hasn’t been clicked to show received has that glowing effect like when loop is active?
- Toggle on/off message received options
My personal belief is that this would take Ableset to an incredibly powerful level - even more so than it already is.
Thank you for all you do Leo!
