New LV2 extension, for basic hardware feedback

Post by milkii »

https://github.com/moddevices/plugin-ex ... /lv2-hmi.h

"...a new MOD-specific LV2 feature we implemented to give plugins the possibility of taking over certain parts of the device screen and LEDs. Plugins cannot draw custom shapes but can change the text, indicator value and LED color.

"As typical for such new features, we have to create them first and only then plugins can make use of it. We have verified that the feature works by the use of test plugins.

"For something actually useful on real plugins, we have modified die-fluidsynth plugin to blink the LED when loading an sf2 file and its on/off switch is assigned to a footswitch. You will see the LED blinking to indicate the file is loading in the background. The blinking will stop once the sf2 file has finished loading, indicating the plugin is ready to be used."

Kind of like the <blink> tag from html's wild west days.

Except this sounds more useful. :)
