I was playing guitar the other day, and noticing how easy it is to find the right notes for a song by sliding the finger on the fret until it sounds just right.Nice idea, but imo a little overkill for just finding a note. Sliding the pen on the keyboard was requested several times and will probably be a good feature. I'll add this as an option. Sorry to partially turn down the request, but I'd like to implement the more "fancy" features like the UI you suggested for a state where the basic tracker functionality is already there.
Maybe Nitrotracker could take advantage of this same effect, by emulating it on a touchscreen. Older PC trackers didn't have this same opportunity, since doing this with the mouse would feel unnatural. But with the touchscreen you can just slide directly with the pen.
- the pattern cloning function would clone current pattern to the next unused one (meaning the first one actualy unassigned to a position), as opposed to the next uninitialized one like it does currently.But like that you could accidentally overwrite a pattern you still want to use. What would be the advantage of this?
- the "crtl-like" button (seems to be mapped to left shoulder button on my left-handed setup) with left/right (Y/A for left-handed) would jump to next/previous position in the tune. This would allow copy/paste between patterns without screen switching.Added to issue tracker.
- the "sel" button on pattern screen would select/deselect track on which the cursor is positioned (dunno if your bloc system would allow this with "track gap" tho, if not maybe it could aggregate the selection on tracks between the first and last selected tracks without gap).Added to issue tracker.
