yo, @ypxk , absolutely fantastic and super helpful reflections -- thank you!!
addressed some major usability speedbumps with #11
roadmap:
ctl
highlightedthank you so so much for the help rubber-ducking this -- i really appreciate it 💞
(note to self: add looping indicator on [loops] page)
completed [loops] roadmap in #17
completed [delays] roadmap in #18 !! please let me know how these changes feel, especially if they do not feel good, but I think we've tackled everything from your super excellent notes!!!
(i recognize this is all super opinionated so take it or leave it, obviously.)
the old and new pages seem slightly incongruous with each other UI wise, trying to examine why:
global:
since enc2 is our dedicated “scroller” for navigating the main menu, it feels like it wants to be the scroller to navigate sub menus, but i see why that doesn't work. maybe add enc1 as a navigation option for the main menu?
on the new pages, where k3 does more menu diving, it feels bad to get “stuck” in the deepest level of menu by pressing k3. pressing a button that did something previously and having nothing happen makes it feel as though maybe something is wrong with the script, or something has changed that you failed to perceive. it feels like k3 wants to send you back to the first layer of the menu of the current page when you’ve reached the end, the way it does in the earlier pages (loops,levels,pans,filters).
for example, on the delay page: does it make sense to have k3 loop through the sections rather than "arrive" at the lowest level of menu? maybe it's more important to know you've reached the end, i don't know. i get tripped up on it a little!
euclid page: i think when you hold key 1 and see “1,2,3” mode you might mean “a, b, c” mode? i always trip over myself trying to differentiate between the buffers and the banks--i thought the letters were how to differentiate? (i am probably just confused, i just realized the 1,2,3 naming convention is also used on rnd)
random page:
(pretty smooth session tonight! i have occasionally seen a bank switch itself into arp mode without being told to, and have observed the focus mode not properly play with euclidian, delay, filter menus but cannot even come close to reproducing them so not going to report at this time)
