Duggle Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Going into Edit while a Song is playing works fine. The track view shows the notes of the track as you would expect, then when the pattern changes according to the Song you see the notes change, all good. Now if you change the notes, they change (again as you would expect), until the song moves into another pattern, but when the song returns the changes are gone, lost. Would it be possible (or indeed desirable) to have some kind of selectable autosave feature that allowed changed made (during Song mode as I have described) to be retained?

TK. Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 The problem with such a function: the save operation takes some time. Normally you don't notice this, because it's done in background. But if it would be done before the sequencer switches to a new pattern, it would stall the engine for several mS, which is not desired (but also not avoidable). In addition, I would have to overwork some routines, so that they flag changes. If the flag is not set (no changes in the pattern done), an autosave wouldn't be required (and this would avoid the unwanted stall) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Duggle Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I understand. A (just as) useful solution would be a "one touch" save that if hit before the pattern changes would result in the changes being kept. Is there a way (through an edit to the config) that would assign (even the session "save") such a function to a button? (without the separate action of going through a menu.)

TK. Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yes, I could add dedicated buttons for SAVE (to store the pattern of the current group) and SAVE_ALL (to store the patterns of all groups). Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggle Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Unfortunately I can't easily add another physical push button to the front panel (a Wilba PCB). Will it be possible for me assign this function to a gp button F1..F4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yes, just set the current BUTTON_* assignment for the F button to "0 0" in order to disable it, and then configure the appr. SR/pin combo for the upcoming BUTTON_SAVE or BUTTON_SAVE_ALL function. Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukas412 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Great idea! Been struggling with this too. Thanks, Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
