- [ ] RS-232? also using Twisted
- [ ] General MIDI input using [Mido](https://mido.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
- [ ] Define control scheme.
See: [Summary of MIDI 1.0 Messages](https://www.midi.org/specifications-old/item/table-1-summary-of-midi-message)

- [x] K meter
- [x] K-20: -20dBFS = 83dB C SPL (Same as SMPTE and EBU)
- [x] K-14: -14dBFS = 83dB C SPL
- [ ] Can be compensated from SMPTE/EBU levels by lowering the output volume by 6dB
- [x] K-12: -12dBFS = 83dB C SPL
- [ ] Can be compensated from SMPTE/EBU levels by lowering the output volume by 8dB
- [x] EBU R 128: -23LUFS (-23dBFS) = 73dB C SPL (Debatable/unclear removed for now)

- [x] Only one instance is allowed (Microsoft Windows only)
- [X] Option to make window stay always on top (Microsoft Windows only)
- [x] Touch doesn't activate the window and doesn't steal focus (Microsoft Windows only)
- [x] Trigger events without having to activate the window first (Microsoft Windows only)
- [ ] Draw it on the first touch enabled display if available instead of the main one
##### Windows executable
- [ ] Handle shutdown to power off the device
- [x] Generate icon with [IconMaker](https://github.com/Inedo/iconmaker)
- [x] [PyInstaller](https://www.pyinstaller.org) (Fairly stable for Microsoft Windows)
- [x] [UPX](https://upx.github.io/) support
- How to build:
- Review [denonremote.spec](denonremote.spec)
- Use `hatch build; hatch run build:pyinstaller`
- [x] [Nuitka](https://nuitka.net) (Alpha support for Microsoft Windows)
- Use `hatch build; hatch run build:nuitka`
- [ ] [PyOxidiser](https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer)
- [ ] [cx-Freeze](https://pypi.org/project/cx-Freeze/) for multiplatform support?
- [ ] VST plugin? (Not required if MIDI input is implemented but would be neat to have in the monitoring section of a
DAW)
- [ ] See [PyVST](https://pypi.org/project/pyvst/)
#### Mobile
- [ ] Autonomous mobile app? Kivy enables that!
- [ ] Android
- [ ] iOS/iPadOS
#### Proxy/background service?
The receiver only allows 1 active connection. A dispatcher proxy could allow multiple simultaneous remotes (Desktop and
mobile).
