MIDI file playlist? #23

Closed mxmilkiib closed 3 years ago

Being able to just load a directory of MIDI files so as to loop though them sequentially and back again to the start after (or randomly, etc.) for a bit of variety (beyond just one file) whilst testing.

Seems a bit out of scope for Mamba, but a interesting challenge to implement that.

brummer10 commented 3 years ago

As a first step I've implemented drag'n drop, so you could drop a MIDI file from your File-manager to the keyboard in order to load it. (You don't need to stop playing in order to load a new file). Maybe I'll implement a list so that the new file will loaded after the current one is finished, let's see. The very same work for SoundFonts now, just drop them on the Keyboard to switch the SoundFont in use. True, when you switch the SoundFont, Mamba roll back the loaded MIDI file to start position in order to reload it's Channel/Instrument settings But I guess that will nevertheless allow quickly testing stuff out.

So, not a play list, but now you could add MIDI files to the running loop.

. . . and now, there is a option to remove the last loaded MIDI file.

brummer10 commented 3 years ago

so now there is a dynamic file remove menu, allow to remove a selected file, not only the last one, from the loop.

will close this issue now, as it is basically solved in the mean of this project.
