Of course they can … I’ve been banging on about this for ages
It’s a triviality in terms of a concept and in terms of zero CPU usage … for me it boils down to them not having had the idea whilst they were working on it (besides requests)
A nice way to toggle the behaviour I think I had suggested was as follows
It’d be a toggle option in a menu elsewhere, but the shortcut would be …
Track + DoubleTap Fn button
You then get a toggle
This Follow/Select toggle only works for played tracks, not sequenced ones
So basically the current screen is always the last one you played … makes total sense to have this as an option … then you can tweak the sound you just heard … perfect for setting up kits and adjusting sounds relative to others
Current Normal behaviour is default, Track Follow is the toggled option
You need to submit this as an official feature request to give it legs
The details of mine was like so fwiw … (i’ll put this in the correct thread too for info)
1 ========================================
Faster Sound Browser : On the A4 you can also open the sound browser by double tapping the track … this is fantastic if you like to work quickly as you go
On the AR there is a very tricky finger twisting one handed & slow key-combo … Fn+(hold)Sound
Could we please have a mirror of the A4 experience by enabling the following …
Track + (Double Tap) Pad = Open Sound Browser Instantly
2 ========================================
Selected Track : Could there also be a menu option toggle to make the last tapped pad be the now selected track - this is vital if you want to tweak a kit by auditioning sounds together
Quick toggling can be achieved by mirroring your Quantize Live Rec toggle UI element
Instead of Rec + (DblTap) Play , you use
Track + (DblTap) Function
and the Toggle shows which says ‘Selection follows Pad ’ (or similar) … or alternatively Track + (hold) Fn
3 ========================================
Fast Kit selection : This UI method is already implemented and is highly consistent
Kit selection needs to be much quicker - Kits are the main thing to swap quickly for a drum Machine, do as follows
Function + (Hold) Kit
this should go straight to the opened Kit selection page
