random modulation to envelopes
#3
Quote:Actually use the random next value command doesn't really look into the kind of payload, so i think to only random the decay value is currently not possible.
But basically more advanced random commands are planned.

OK i see, its about how the random command is designed (and generally that the commands act like knobs, i understand the design choice but i think i would prefer them to be instant and go back to a steady value on next steps).
Also i just discover now the Nerdseq so i may need some time to get use to this and see the interest then.

Still it would be nice to have some ways of sligthly change the envelopes values over time, i use this a lot to get some more organic patterns quickly. (also i can see a big interest in fm synthesis with this).



Quote:Modulating Envelopes from the automators is not planned. That would mean 8 times 6 settings which would end up in endless browsing of automator destinations.

Yes i understand it would be too much, maybe then just for attack and decay of envelope 1 and 2?
(also this would open up a lot fm synthesis possibilities)


Quote:But lets talk about the navigation and editing. I am curious about what could be better with the available buttons, screens and without weird key combinations. And arrive all most important screens where 95% of the work happens very immediately. Always open for good suggestions.

Ok, many small improvements i can see here: 

First, i dont get why "ok" (or shift) wont insert a note by itself in the pattern screen on a empty step, basicaly it means we need a key combo every time we want to insert a note.

Then marking could be improved i think, for example if i want to mark the all screen (the first 16 steps) and copy paste on the next 16 steps:

-I mark
-i press right arrow until the last column of the screen. 
-i press "down" 
-But then i end up in the step 16 and the selection is now 17 steps long
-so i press up arrow to make the selection one step shorter 
-i copy, but then it end up being the step 15 on top of the screen
-so i have to go back to step 16 to paste but still the screen is not "centered" on the pattern
-so again up, then down to center it.(several times if further on the pattern).

i feel this quite painfull to do for a so simple thing.

i suggest this:
Holding shift and pressing arrows while marking would jump to the last row or column of the screen.
so the same action would become:

-i mark and i hold shift
-i press right arrow, the all row is selected
-i press down arrow, the selection expand until last step of the actual screen.
-i copy
-i press down to jump to the next 16 steps
-ready to paste.

Then to paste, if i want to copy and paste the first step of a pattern to all the steps, i can use shift+down+copy, but still i gonna have to press "copy" 63 times?
 Why not to just hold copy and to have a key repeat functions like with the arrows?

Then some others things i find a bit disturbing but those are the most for me i think (i will stop here for now Smile )
