Yeah I do appreciate there is so much information available it would be impossible to expect it to show everything, or a fine level of detail, and wouldn't expect that kind of feedback.
For the 16 CV expander my initial thoughts would be 6 dots to show the activity of the 6 lanes, with implementation something like this:
Triggers = Dot on for the length of the trigger/gate (turns off when finished).
Notes/CV values = Dot on for any value set. Dot briefly turns off and back on again when value changes.
(Any automators added to these 2 above don't really need showing as that would be too confusing I think).
If only automators were used on a lane:
Envelopes = Dot briefly flahes with any envelope triggered.
LFO's = Dot stays on for any LFO started Dot turns off if no LFO's are running.
You could have 4 different colour dots for the types of data (triiger/gate, note/cv, envelopes, LFO's) so you knew what was what.
The trigger 16 expander has its own lights so you can always tell if something is being triggered or not,
but a grid of 16 dots to also show the triggers would be great. (Nice to be able to see everything just on the Nerdseq, especially when you're focused and in the zone with it).
MIDI and Multi tracks need separate consideration... for now I'll leave them as this post is already getting quite long.
I'm happy to have a think about possible solutions for them if you like my ideas in general.
I think that would provide more than enough information really, especially on a complex expander like the CV16.
Once you get used to what the dots represent I think it would provide a great deal of visibility of what is happening.
Thanks for yout time and replies.
