#179 Use relevant units on knobs

[naught101]

It would be really nice if the relevant units for each knob were displayed instead of the usual 0-127 value. So, of time units, us s/ms, for frequency units, use Hz, etc.

I realise that a lot of the knobs are modulated by a lot of the other functions, and so they don't result in the same values in every situation, but I think it would make sense to use the base value, and just let the user figure out if it's being modulated elsewhere.

Where values are simple ratios (e.g. effects unit volumes), I think it would be better to use 0-100%, since it's easier to deal with simple numbers like 50%, 75%, rather than 63, 95, etc.

Also, perhaps it deserves its own feature request, but it would be really nice if the values of knobs and other things were shown as a tool-tip near the mouse, as this would mean far less eye-hopping to the top display row.

Thanks Mark. I'm just watching your interview with Unfa, and I just heard this was already on the cards. I'm looking forward to it! Sorry for the spurious issue, and thanks for your work :)

This goal has been documented on the roadmap and it comes up from time to time on the github issue tracker. As such I'm marking this issue as 'accepted'.
