Auto Repeat Command while holding button
Posted: 14 Nov 2012 15:02
I couldn't find anything like this on the forum or user templates and I believe it is a very useful functionality to have in a Lemur template.
It is easier to explain on an example:
Let's say we have a button (or a pad) that triggers "track up". Everytime we press it, Lemur will send the appropriate command (i.e. track up). Basic.
Now what I am trying to achieve is that if we hold that button down (without releasing), after a time interval of Time1 (about 1 second, for example) the command re-triggers itself at an interval of Time2 (maybe 0.3 seconds).
So that we don't have to press "track up" 20..30 times, for example, to go up in the project's track list. Just hold the button for a while (=Time1) and the command will be repeated with a set frequency (1/Time2).
This functionality could also be built into other commands like BAR+, BAR-, Frame+, Frame- and so on.
