[Bug?] pigments 6 lowercase pill labels

Software Instruments Pigments
#1

In Pigments 6, the Macro knob labels are forced to all-lowercase text. Is this a bug or a design choice? If it’s a design choice, I’m not a fan. It artificially limits visible naming options for those Macro knobs.

I notice the other pill labels have the same all-lowercase text, but when you click on any of them to open the associated dropdown panel, the available selections in the panel are still mixed-case text. This results in visual inconsistency between what you selected and what it shows that you had selected (e.g. the user selected “Poly KBD” in the “Env 2 Retrig Source” panel, but the button now shows “poly kbd”). The all-lowercase text is also inconsistent with the mixed-case labels on all the other elements. Obviously not a functionality issue, but not a GUI choice I feel positively about.

Hi,

This is how it is designed. I am not sure why, so I will ask my colleagues the reason.

As you mention, functionality is the same.

Thanks!

Yeah, can’t say I’m a huge fan either. I mean I can live with it but it’d be nice to have the option to use a capital letter if I feel so inclined.

If I remember right, V5 changed the Macro labels to all upper-case. I didn’t like that either. Mixed-case is best-case.
