Step Copy

[anonyme-x22]

Hello,

As fare as i'm aware to copy fewer step , you need to maintain the copy button and work with the dial to reduce the step number.

It should be interesting to add the feature when in step edit part, to be able like for edit to select the number of step to copy with the bottom row, so we could fast select 1-16,1-32,1-48, etc.

Also it would be interesting to be able to select the start and end of step copy by pushing for exemple step 16-32 and step 48-64, to copy 16-64 step,  like one push at 16-32 button and two push at 48-64 button.

Thanks in advance,

Have a good day,

Yes, it would be possible use GP buttons for copy step selections.

But it has to be considered that many users don't have a full blown MIDIphy Frontpanel with two rows of GP buttons, so the implementation should also be helpful for single-row units, and the second row should only be used as a "helper"

What I could imagine:

• with the Copy button the upper GP row shows steps which are going to be copied, and GP buttons allow to set the start/end within the current step view
• the lower GP row could be used to change the step view
• users who don't have a lower GP row could change the step view with a GP encoder like before

All this in addition to the existing copy step selection (existing copy step selection still available)

Do you agree?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

That way it is complicated because:

- You make it compatible for both but you loose a lot of friendly using mode!

- You make it for the actual (I don't think the first version is still made, the benefit of two row are just an incredible step forward), and it is not compatible with the older mode!

- You make both and of course you add a configuration switch like in the file to set everything which is on the sd card, or an option!

This said:

What you are suggesting:

• with the Copy button the upper GP row shows steps which are going to be copied, and GP buttons allow to set the start/end within the current step view

Ok, showing the step to copy withing the 16 step range could be interesting but if you have to copy more like 32-48-96, you will have to handle a different lightening for the upper row other wise useless!

i think that the use case is:

- Push copy button

- do not depress it 

- Look the step range on the screen more speaking, as step = number,

but if you manage it correctly, why not doing everything with top/bottom group, and confirm good range by the screen. A +, but not mandatory

• users who don't have a lower GP row could change the step view with a GP encoder like before

• the lower GP row could be used to change the step view

Change eventually this one with the encoder, like actually or the bottom group, exactly on phase but:

I was suggesting that the bottom group button would have set by 16step start end range:

For a 256step (easier because all button correspond to 16 step)

pattern bottom button group act as start point and end point so:

i want t copy step 48-80:

- Hold copy button:

- One push in bottom group button at button 3 set start point at 48.

- Two push of button 5 set the end at 80.

You mistake:

- Still holding copy button:

- One push redo start point

- Two push redo end point

- Release copy to copy the range.

Of course the dial don't change allow a full compatibility and avoiding two mode and option for this one!

An extended and efficient way of copying step!

The top of the cake is when you hold paste you could do the same thing!
