Sort / Rearrange MIDI Control Aliases in Rig Manager?

Hi,

I did not use the rig manager in the past, however I think the RM could help me to rearrange and optimise the association of physical controls on my keyboards, so I started to define some Control Aliases and testing.

Currently I just can add more aliases. Is there a way to sort this list? What’s the current workaround besides renaming to get a clean list of sorted control aliases?

How would you like to sort it?

Alphabetical?

If I add something later, my possible list doesn’t get messed up…

E.g.

U.VOL1
U.FC
U.VOL2
L.VOL2
L.VOL1
U.SUS
U.KNOB.2.1
U.KNOB.1.2
L.SUS

is not that readable if I would add most of the possible controls of my KeyLab MkII…

Good idea, now it is not?

I have to admit that, because of my control surface, I defined so much alias names, that when I want to find the SustainPedal alias name, it really takes me a lot of time :nerd_face:

No - just a quick shot from my test mac…

OK, I answer myself for part of the solution / workaround: in the widget MIDI panel the control aliases are sorted!

I was too much in preparation…

to make it clear for me:
so, in the midi widget panel “automatic” alphabetical sorting is working ?
( well, guess its answered then)

this would finally be the solution to make it feasable for me to go thru this whole thing myself.
AND: would mean, i had to give the HW controls naming shemes i otherwise never would have thought of to do so.

time to make some tests myself i guess.
Thanks for feedbacck !

Would some kind of sort or auto sort functionality help with this?

If so please make a feature request. We’ll definitely consider it.

OK done.

@djogon hm, I think this could help, but not in any situation. Now that I have finished my rig I can use these aliases out of a sorted list.

In the rig manager a move up/down of entries would be more helpful, as I think more in the physical layout of the controller while creating entries.

Currently I‘m fine :sunglasses:

I also reported this suggestion of custom sorting :wink:
