Hey handsome users and developers!
My you're all looking fine
I had a feature request, been thinking it for a while, had a quick search and couldn't find a thread on it already in the more recent few pages of results.
I would love the option to see and adjust the autopilot status of a layer, in the "layer controls" section.
It'd be great to have an instant overview of what is happening, and be able to more conveniently adjust things without having to delve into the layer settings.
I've found this more of a stumbling block if I'm getting more novice operators to jump onto a file built by a more advanced user. For example, I might have some layers switching around automatically to provide extra variation while I'm occupied with other tasks and while I have a mental map of what is doing what, I see this provides confusion for them. Some stuff starts changing by itself and some stuff doesn't. Getting them to dive into layer settings, and minimise and maximise the appropriate areas to find that setting... adds an extra few steps when they're already getting overloaded with new information.
However, I also believe it would be beneficial for more advanced users too, much like it's great seeing the layer transition time, it'd also be a time saver, it's often several clicks and a bit of scrolling to get to that setting and an accessible onscreen control may work better for seeing it's status and changing it's settings than going through the hoops of midi mapping/keyboard mapping or creating an OSC control surface for it.
Much like Layer transition controls or layer transport controls... having the option to disable these from being seen, would mean that people who don't care about this, needn't have it cluttering their screens...
I think it would be a swell addition to the arsenal of tools available, what do you think?
Ps.
