Re: controlPilot - macOS app for ControlRoom settings & automatic Talkback

Version 2.0.1 (08.09.2024)
This is the first official release of ControlPilot version 2!

Many things have been fixed and improved, and there are new features:

- A new Overlay layout option: Flat. It is a perfect fit for the upper right corner of Pro Tools Edit window - and a cool new design for everyone else.
- New: Extended Volume Focus: Can follow mute/un-mute/dim.
- New: Extended Volume Focus: Select a Volume Focus Base channel (Main/Phones 1-4), this is the channel the display returns to after timeout.
- New: Device selection for multi-interface .
- New: 3 different Channel Assignment strategies (Automatic from Device settings, Automatic from OSC names, Manual).
- New: Shortcut "Flip width on selected Playback channel".
- New: Added HUI protocol to receive transport states from DAW. (Pro Tools 2024.3 has dropped M-Audio protocol support).
- New: In ControlPilot 1, it was recommended to keep TotalMix OSC controller's bank size at 8. ControlPilot can now handle 24 channels at once without noticeable performance drop.
- New: Adjustable HUD Overlay background color.
- New: Shortcuts: Added an option to filter by assigned keyboard shortcuts. This makes it easier to look up the shortcuts that are in use.
- New: To exit Overlay setup mode, use the _Escape_ key.
- New: With the new setting in TotalMix 1.96+ "Save changes regularly (1 min)" selected, ControlPilot can now get updated settings that are not communicated via OSC. As a starter, the manual 'Refresh' Button will not need to restart TM if it has the new setting selected.

There are 2 important changes:

- The required minimum macOS version is macOS 12 (Monterey).
- TotalMix 1.96 introduced changes to OSC messaging, which means ControlPilot 1 does not run with TotalMix 1.96 and higher.

ControlPilot version 2 is free for all owners of version 1.

It would be nice to be able to change the text color of the HUD (to white), if one prefers to have the background color be dark/black. :-)

This had been on my list for a while. I did it now. Download the newest beta from inside the app to test it if you like.
I made it 2 separate settings, one for text, another for the mini buttons, you can toggle each between black or white.
