Really good progress ! I will try to join the beta for testing asap.

I have also made the legend dynamic, so that it displays only icons that are used in pattern

Also changed swing icon to something that looks less like notes

Looks like this issue is fixed now @vasmarg138 :white_check_mark:

Can you please check with the app latest version and let me know ?

Added some more info to Overview tab

Let me know if you think of something more you’d like to see (and later edit) there:

I was thinking about arranging the different metrics in columns of 8 or 4. So that the information is neatly displayed in a grid. Also makes it more easy to make things responsive.

Good idea @rosiusyves , feel free to open a PR with these changes. I’m not working on Overview tab atm :call_me_hand: (I’m working on sample slot list :fire: )

And here is current state:

  • Columns can be sorted
  • State checkmark indicated if sample file is actually present on filesystem (which we could later add a playback feature)
  • Source indicates if sample path is located in project or audio pool directory

Was waking up from a nap… and suddenly remembered that you can save and collect samples on the OT. Might be useful to check how a project is restructured after this action.

Sure thing, I’m currently testing on projects where that action was executed :ok_hand:

Another thought… could we read the CF card in realtime when connected to the OT. Would be very useful to twiddle with knobs and see results.

This would be really cool if it does work…

Might be a dead end however…

Great idea!

Not sure how that works but as long as CF card (or usb drive or whatever) appears as a device, the app should pick it up right away

unfortunately, issue persists in 0.1.16.
Here is what I mean:
Viewing all patterns, all tracks. 1st step of T2 selected, has 3 p-locks.


scrolling down to next track, same p-lock info appears, and again for next track, and x8 for next pattern’s tracks, and so forth if you re viewing banks as well.

That can be disorienting if you are deep in banks and checking a p-locked step,and suddenly the ui “jumps” because a bunch of “Step X - Parameter Locks” windows opened up and affected vertical position :stuck_out_tongue:
Perhaps the “Step X - Parameter Locks” window should appear only for the track you manually chose to see.

Thanks for all the details @vasmarg138 , gonna check it in a moment

Meanwhile pushing new release v0.1.18 (changelog) with updated Sample Slots lists:

  • Columns can be filtered in all sorts of way (including hiding empty slots)
  • Added compatibility check (format, bitdepth, kHz) for files that are found in project or audio pool
  • Added ability to toggle on/off columns

anndddd fixed the build errors which were silently blocking the last 2 releases

Feel free to test and feedback issues/opinions/requests

Found the issue and fixed it :white_check_mark:

Can you please double check with v0.1.20 ?

I actually find it useful that step selection happens through all displayed patterns but if otherwise I can maybe implement a toggle to disable/enable that behavior

yep, now every track shows the correct settings of the step, very nice!

Glad to hear that ! Let me know if you have any feedback

Waw, that’s what i call great motivation and I like it!
So many iterations and corrections in 48h already.

I’ll be glad to test furthermore but I might be impeded by the UTF8 Latin-1 error as most of ly projects use french alphabet for a reason or another.
