Controls units (preferrably both musical and scientific units) - I especially miss this with the octave, tuning knobs.
i understand but not a top priority here :) it will get some units, someday.
is not clear what whole DEF1 section does - is it sensitivity to the MIDI messages? (range <100-x, 100>)
yes, its kind of general sensitivity or scaling to incoming midi values: pitchbend and modwheel range, channel pressure intensity, velocity sensitivity curve.
What is the drumkv1 control Group?
keys in the same group number cancel each other, like hit-hat open and close.
3) Can I, in drumkv1, have 2 modes for notes to play sample a) until it ends or its note off comes ("Trim") b) until it ends (regardless of note offs; "Single Hit") I tried the Note Off control in DEF, and it doesn't seem to do that.
that's exactly what DEF/Note Off setting is for: when enabled, note-off events are recognized and do trigger the Decay 2 phase of the envelope generators; when disabled, note-off events are simply ignored so that all phases get through as if you sustained a piano key long enough.
can I expect the lv2 interface of the plugins to be stable and forward-compatible? So I can make patches and expect them to play in future versions the same...
yes. besides one parameter or the other, of course :) for instance, the Effects/Delay BPM is now (svn trunk) experimentally slaved to current transport tempo--in qtractor at least--and that might be a slight different semantics from previous release, but that's nothing earth-shaking is it?
