Tracker enhancement - Arbitrary start pos & playhead rewind? #36

Open Alwinfy opened 2 weeks ago

Alwinfy commented 2 weeks ago

Hi!

I've been very much enjoying Biset (added to Cardinal recently); the tracker is a real delight to play with. I've been having some troubles with: in particular, afaik there's no way to easily start playing a pattern from the current selection (nor play a song from an arbitrary starting beat).

Additionally, if this were implemented, a feature I would find very helpful (for quick iteration) would be to have an option (mode) to auto-rewind once play has stopped to where the playhead originally was, so I could place some notes somewhere in a pattern → audition them by playing → stop play, edit notes, press play again to hear modified version.

Thanks for your time!

Thank you for message :) For now, in song mode, you can select a pattern instance and press play pattern to start song at this point and then press the play button to switch to regular play mode. It's quite weird, I got that from Sunvox Haha.

But indeed, being able to move the playhead manually would be cool. For now, I decided to stop VCV development after the last update / fix I just sent to the VCV team but I'll add this feature to my TODO list for the case I decide to come back :)

I'm really happy you enjoy the plugin ! The last update should fix some bugs and add some tiny features in the Tracker :)
