Yeah; I'm not so sure I want to go to those lengths for such a niche feature - as you say the font size would make it barely legible. Bigger graphical displays could be a (very) long-term thing, but it wouldn't be a priority,

I've just done a maintenance release (v0.6.1), and while I was at it, I added this hack branch to keep the instrument on the screen. Download the sdcard package from here:
https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi/actions/runs/305121903
I don't really want to implement this as a config option or a special feature, but this may tide you over for live playing until full MT-32 control surface simulation comes about.
Hope this helps š

Thankyou, glad you are enjoying it! š
I think this will come naturally as part of implementing #16, as on a real MT-32 you can hit a button to enter patch select mode and you can see and change the instrument assigned to the channel whose button you pressed.
I have a real MT-32 now, so this will only be a matter of time.
Otherwise as a temporary solution, I could do a quick hack build for you that always shows the instrument if that helps!

If you already haven't started creating a temporary build, there's no real hurry. I'll be patient :) Thank you for great communication!

Is there enough space to keep the selected patch names on screen? mt32emu_qt
shows them, but of course there's a lot more space to work there.
Text modules are way too small. You only have room for 2 or 4 names on the 20x2 and 20x4 displays.
The supported OLED displays don't fare much better. Using a tiny 8x8 font, you're only going to get 4 rows of 16 characters on a 128x32 OLED display, so you can only see half of the non-rhythm channels. It looks like the longest patch name is 16 characters by itself, so you can't fit any legend or status information.
If you used the 3x5 Tom Thumb you could fit 5 rows of 32 characters, but that's barely readable on the 0.91" modules. If you use two columns, you could fit all of the patch names with no legend or status information.
With Tom Thumb and a 128x64 OLED display, you could fit all of the patch names on 10 rows of 32 characters, leaving a little room for legend and other status information, but again it's just barely readable.

Works like a charm :) Thank you!!!
