heyo, anyone ever used the Control Surface process in a large score so far ?

hi folks, our dear students made a small mockup of the UI for the remote control
(sorry, it's in french)
also they've opted for writing the app in Qt / QML so @aklevy we may have to brush up qml-creative-controls :p

very nice ! the thing that seems counter intuitive to me tho is the vertical separation, if it was horizontal, sliders could be full length. Either way, sliders should have the same orientation as the division if possible (and if the separation is relay necessary)

ah, thanks, I wasn't able to put words on what weirded me and that may be it haha

I think ti look very nice but I don't think the separation is necessary. Doing away with it might make things look a little more chaotic but more immediate and performative. since the widget will be reordered in time, I doubt the it 'll ever get so crowded that it requires this level of organisation

also, I would think that an important aspect of that interface is to run on tablets and phones, witch would probably require a simpler structure...
Jean-Michaël Celerier
@jcelerier
for now I told them that we'd focus on tablets

@thibaudk
cool

Hi everyone ! Thank you for your feedback ! At this stage, we feel like we would need to discuss with you verbally, in order to cross opinions and debate a little bit on the interface, so that we end up with a clear image of what we need to implement afterwards. Here is a Doodle in which you can indicate your availability, so that we can set up a meeting on jitsi (or another platform of your liking).
verry sorry, I won't able to attend the meeting this afternoon in the end. I already made a few coments here if needed

Hi everyone, I'm from the team of student who work on the remote interface. Here is document where we display the different versions of the interface we came with for today's meeting.
okay, I added the websocket api necessary for controlling intervals speeds

@thibaudk
@Toine-ddt Thanks ! I vote for the 3 option "chaotic". The widgets beeing as wide as possible is a great advantage. Gradiandts and 2D sliders should also take more place
if there is any need for separation, it should be between buttons for Triggers and avrything else IMO, as triggers act on the structure for the score
it all looks quite promissing
alto, just one thing, the Qlab interface you listed is not the actual interface for Qlab but the open-stage-control controler for Qlab
Thibaud Keller
@thibaudk
it's a detail but it's also a good example of what open-stage control can do
