In fact in works for me in EDIT mode ! (Window 11)

Interesting

@sezare56

(Also with mouse double clic or right clic + play in menu)

I like the idea, thanks for suggesting it !

Just trying it out tonight. So far it is working without incident. I copied my CF card to my desktop and I’m making a new Project. Only using it to fill the static bank. Will check back when I get done and load it into my OT. I like the workflow so far. Seems clean. Thanks again for your work.

Good news ! Very glad you like it, I put a lot of effort+thinking into UX so it just makes my day if it does resonate with users

Let me know how it goes on OT !

[thoughtstarZ]

Yep, been futzing around with it, learning the workflow…which has lead me to realize that some of the samples in my pool need to be converted. Quite a few. Which makes me want to start from scratch. Also, if I wanted to edit my previous projects, I would need to go through them and save them with the newest OS. I actually haven’t made any projects in years. I mostly load a bunch of samples, experiment with them, record into Ableton and hardly ever use the sequencer anymore. But, yeah, this may take a minute since I kinda want to start new.

@Wick @sezare56 can you please try this version and confirm it fixes sample playback ?

I’ve also implemented double-click and right click menu option:

@imacactus

Agreed. I’m considering adding some kind of global toggle for each trig type.

Using the already present pattern legend/label is a good idea but this would affect only it’s specific pattern whereas Iit may be better to get it configurable globally - wdyt ?

Both ? : )
Quick access below, per pattern, and global filter that overrides pattern settings ? Personally I don’t know if I’d hide something globally (if swing isn’t displayed with value 50. ; )

@imacactus

Would it be possible for you to send me that project over in pm ? It would help to debug with it directly

I will make a more logical pattern to decipher what’s wrong.

[Wick]

still not playback

[sezare56]

@imacactus

it fixes sample playback ?

Worked in view and edit mode. +1
Suggestion : add “Show file path” in menu. Possible to see it with copy paste but that is an additional step.

Fear not - I have a plan to implement a feature to “review and fix all of Audio Pool” pretty soon

I’m sure a lot of us are in the same case without us knowing it lol

Let’s have it then !

Excellent !

File path is displayed as hover tooltip on values of Source column - Is that what you were looking for ?

@Wick

still not playback

Can you please try this new rc version ?

Yep ! Thanks.

[Wick]

wheres the dmg?

[imacactus]

octatrack-manager_0.0.1-rc_aarch64.dmg
octatrack-manager_0.0.1-rc_x64.dmg

[sezare56]

@imacactus would it be possible to group installation files in explicit folders corresponding to respective OS / platform ? Can be confusing imo.

[Wick]

now on 00.1-rc version playback is now working ,thank you

Sadly it’s not possible to do that with Github release assets - it’s just a raw list of files

The documentation should help with that a bit though

Excellent

[imacactus]

Teaser of what’s to come in next release

Plenty of clues in the user-guide

[imacactus]

New Release: v0.42.0 with a revamped Patterns view and a new Sample Slot Usage tracker

• Recorder trigs now get their own grid below track trigs

• New Global filters to show or hide each trig type across all patterns

• New Pattern type selector: Track patterns / Rec patterns / Both
  

• New Usage column on Sample Slots to see where each Sample Slot is referenced (parts, machines, pattern trigs and sample locks)
  

• Soloed tracks were added to the Overview tab, alongside cued & muted indicators

• Browse in the Copy destination modal now scans the selected folder recursively - same behavior as on the homepage - and lists every project it finds

Thanks a lot to @sezare56 @Tapepusher @rosiusyves @faehnler_bii for helping shape these features

User-guide has been updated. Already installed app will auto-update at startup.

Other fixes

• Trig positions on pattern pages 2-4, one-shot recorder trigs and slice-mode STRT values are now read correctly > Thanks to @sezare56 feedback
• Sample playback now works on older macOS versions such as Mojave > Thanks to @Wick testing
• The macOS app is now ad-hoc signed so Gatekeeper no longer flags it as damaged > Thanks to a GitHub contribution by oldrobotdev

As always; testers, feedback and requests are welcome

Next: Fix whole of Audio Pool in one go
