Suggestion: bring back physical layer ouput for POV
Posted: Sat Mar 08, 2025 13:19
Up to firmware v2.17.F it was possible to set a POV to output Button V, which would fire not just the virtual button, but the button on the physical layer as well. This was patched out in v2.18.1, now Button V only fires the virtual layer.
The ability for a POV to output to the Physical layer was VERY useful as it, notably, allowed Shift, Modal Switch and Tempo functions to be assigned to POV presses. I have received requests from people who had set up their POV like so and were wondering why their config was no longer working after a firmware update.
It is of course possible to replicate this linking the virtual outputs to some physical buttons using booleans but this is a waste of limited boolean slots for something that used to work great natively.
I would therefore suggest to add the physical layer as output layer for POV:
