Request: add a Surface preference so that touching or adjusting a Soft Rotary automatically brings up the associated processing tab on the main screen area.
Current behaviour as I understand it: the Soft Rotary widget area shows the assigned parameters and thumbnail indicators, and tapping that widget area opens the associated tab. The Soft Rotaries themselves can follow channel selection, active Mix, or be locked to a channel. What does not appear to exist is the screen following the physical control when you actually reach for it.
Why it would help: when a rotary is assigned to something like compressor threshold, gate depth, or a specific PEQ band, you often want the full graphical context, the curve, the gain reduction meter, the surrounding bands, at the moment you start adjusting. Right now that requires a separate tap or a screen mode press, which is an extra step in the middle of a live move. Having the screen already there means you get visual confirmation of what the knob is doing without taking a hand off the control.
Suggested implementation: a preference under Surface, Control, Preferences, defaulting to off, something like “Processing screen follows Soft Rotary”. A short timeout or a requirement that the rotary actually move, rather than firing on incidental contact, would keep it from jumping around unintentionally.
Precedent: SQ has a “Processing screen follows surface” style preference, so the concept already exists elsewhere in the range.
Running an S7000 with a CDM64 if that is relevant. Happy to be told this already exists and I have missed it.
