Note display in edit sometime Strange

[anonyme-x22]

Hello,

In some case which i cannot determinate, the note is displayed in lower case.

This can happen on both display row.

The workaround is to unlit, relit the step to make it appears in upper case.

Thanks in advance,

Have a good day,

Rgds,

Lower case letters are used for the two first octaves (x-2 and x-1). The next octaves are shown as X-0, X-1, X-2, X-3, ...

The octave numbers are consistent with various MIDI monitors. Some monitors would display "X--2" instead of "x-2" for the first octave, but since we can only use 3 letters to show a note, I used lower case characters to differentiate between them.

In order to understand what I mean: turn a GP encoder left until the lower octaves are played.

Turn it full left to disable the step. Turn one to right and it will re-start at C-3 (this was a special request by a user who wanted to re-start at the middle octave)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hello,

I see now!

Effectively to show -1-2 octave we're in trouble!

I think when we speak about ui it's important to separate technical and user interface.

i understand you took the way of how midi monitor do it and in order to feat 3 letters.

I think that we haven't any other option here even if C--1 would have been better than c-1 so the use case is valid!

- Turn it full left to disable the step. Turn one to right and it will re-start at C-3 (this was a special request by a user who wanted to re-start at the middle octave)

Again Turn it full left to disable the step what the use case?

so as Turn it full right to disable the step?

It's so much faster to switch the top button under the note to disable them.

Again does this is useful, consistent, accommodate all user?

For me Turn it full left/right to disable the step isn't consistent and does not accommodate myself!

So it should be at least an option if you really want to keep this!

- re-start at C-3 (this was a special request by a user who wanted to re-start at the middle octave)

Yes that's truly demonstrate the need of a default in the layer configuration page for each layer, and also is un consistent which what you said to me about default configuration, why did he not done a template???

Rgds,

I looked again to the step edit view.

It seems you have 4 Char available.

Top row display there is sufficient space to do C--1.

Bottom row the third char is a meter?

Unless you see a worth to behavior here, it could be removed, and will also allow C--1.

So no more upper and lower case, again more consistant and less cpu intensive, so we gain power!

You can also use Daw notation C1; C-1, which involve two or three char.

if you want something centered into the 4 char:

C +1; C -1; C#+1;C#-1; 

Whatever the less understandable without a specific manual is the actual one.

The vumeter after note, is also something cpu consuming for absolute zero to value.

There is no blaming involved again but objective criticism!

So, this is how the edit screen looks today:

We can clearly see the note played for each step including a velocity bar (which is useful and doesn't consume CPU power...):

Your proposal:

Does it really look better?

Best Regards, Thorsten.

I prefer the first tbh... :-)

Hello,

I you want you can add a - or a ., or whatever you want to fill the space, C-+1, C.+1. 

Frankly i don't care if it's beautiful, but C-+1, C--1, is far much speaking than C-1, c-1!!!

As for cpu power everything consume, that's perhaps not a huge gain, but i never look at this meter, and it don't deserve any purpose just  filling a space, the velocity, i look at the top row number where this meter is also shown, but sorry i don't set a velocity according a meter, so as any daw, and again if even i wanted to, i will use the one displayed at the top row!

It could be an option, so both will be available if some prefer c-1, instead of C?-1.

Rgds,

With velocity bars there is more info displayed and the spacing is more uniform. The hyphen/minus as a spacer for natural notes helps to connect them; with spaces it is more confusing.

Do you really use those low octaves so often @anonyme-x22? If it bothers you, a workaround is to transpose either on the SEQ or your synth.
