Small request re MIDIO128

[jjonas]

Hi,

 

lately me and my band have been using MIDIO128 at our band rehearsals to play a few synthesizers (including my datassette MBSID), and it works great! Based on some experience I have a small (I think) feature request.

 

Currently when you stop a file playing before it's finished, for example if the start of the song fails, the singer forgets the lyrics mid-song or something, and it's just more satisfying to start from the beginning and try to get the whole thing right, you have to press a button three times: first stop, and then when you push the "<" button, it takes you to the beginning of the previous song, from which you then have to come back to the song you stopped with a press of the ">" button . Now the song you stopped is at its beginning and you can hit play again.

 

In my opinion – or for my purposes anyway – it would be handier (after the initial press of the stop button) to have the first press of the "<" button to take the stopped song to the beginning of the song that was stopped, instead of the beginning of the previous song. That way one button press could be eliminated, and in my opinion the whole thing would be a bit more intuitive.

 

But perhaps it's a matter of taste, and others might object to this. What do people think?

The behaviour you suggest is essentially whatany CD/mp3 player does if you press |<< in the middle of a song. Figures.
