| Summary | 0010305: Velocity color scheme is too subtle | ||||
| Description | The saturation range used in the Velocity color scheme for notes is not wide enough. Here is a quick demo that displays how 0000010:0000040 units of difference between two middle notes is hard to distinguish, although that represents 1/3 of the possible velocity range. | ||||

The difference between 0 velocity and 41 velocity is subtle too. |
|
|
Yes. Also, in editor-window, in draw mode, the velocity of the preview of the midi-note, i for one can hardly see it, depending on zoom-level not at all. I tried different color-schemes, but no luck yet. |
|
|
This is my opinion, too. Especially in the EDITOR-window the contrast is very poor, in the PIANOROLL-Editor it is slightly better. |

@n4dir the "preview" note is not showing velocity; it is deliberately very transparent, since it is designed to be a "gentle hint" about "where the note will be if you click right now" |
|

so i just found out that the velocity-based MIDI note colors are themeable as "midi meter colorN" (for N in 0..9) these are mapped via color aliases onto just 5 colors ... "midi meter 5x" for x in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 then we interpolate between them for drawing so this could be fixed with no code changes, as a theme change |
