Re: another mobius question - a new one! - presets/parameters

[Jeff Larson <jeff.larson@sailpoint.com>]

FWIW, You don't have to use scripts to change binding configurations, you can select them

with any MIDI command just like presets.

Backwards compatibility is important to me to a degree.  But I drew the line on a lot

of EDPisms that are hard to explain and simply aren't necessary, like

most of the Interface Modes.  Other than using InterfaceMode=Expert to

enable secondary feedback which is now enabled explicitly with the

Enable Secondary Feedback preset parameter, I'll bet I can count on one

hand the number of people that have actually used Interface Mode, and I

will write them scripts if they still need InterfaceMode=Flip.

Looking through my notes, I think the only old parameters that are not being

automatically upgraded in some way are Interface Mode, Insert Mode, 

Record Mode, and Overdub Mode.  

We have found some bugs upgrading other parameters and those are being fixed.

This is why I warned everyone in the release notes not to upgrade unless you

had some time to spend verifying that your scripts still  worked.  I suppose

I could rename the next one 2.0 to make this clearer.

Hi Jeff & Rainer,
I installed 1.43 last night. Nice job, Jeff! It's the smoothest update I've seen.
It does occur to me, as Rainer mentioned backwards compatibility that if one could optionally attach a binding configuration to a preset (in the preset dialog), it might be helpful at least until the user starts to get a grip on scripting.
Cheers,
