NAMM 2017 DP New Features Video

A green square looks fine in MoTools, for example, but not in a lot of other themes.

The square changes color depending on the Theme in the case of the one Gaz posted. In None More Black for instance is unsurprisingly black.

I agree 100%!! DP would greatly benefit if the MIDI velocities looked something like this:

This might not work on denser tracks with notes that are just a few ticks apart. I tried the mod and it becomes immediately obvious that it's a lot trickier than one would think to find something that works. A green square looks fine in MoTools, for example, but not in a lot of other themes.

Which is why I said you can colour it depending on the Theme you are in - the green square is the one you alter so copy it and change to a colour that works for your theme. It is better than the v.

I think the square is better than the v too. I guess you could create a separate copy of DP with different resource pngs for each theme you use.

I googled and looked at images of StudioVision and how it dealt with velocity. Looks like the velocity stems were just a pixel or two wider than they are in DP. No handle or v. As I recall you could grab the stems anywhere and drag them up or down. It worked well.

...there's several things I forgot about that were so cool about SVP that I wish MOTU would pick off the carcass. Such as audio in, what DP calls, the MIDI Editor (stacked between the MIDI edit field and the Continuous Data Ruler), so you can see all/any of the audio in the same window as all/any of the MIDI in a project. And "velocity" stems for audio, so you can see and change a soundbite's bite-volume the same way you can with MIDI data.

You don't have to make a copy of DP - the png resources are in the Theme itself - so each Theme has it's own png's which take precedence over DP's default png's.

I am a Vision fan - and have always felt the one edit window in Vision DSP/Studio Vision(rather than two in DP - MIDI and Sequences) was a better way of doing things. But I am used to DP now.
