A page device integrated into Apollo #401

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It is not necessarily a (huge) problem, but it would be something very useful to have. Of the current release (1.8.0), there is no dedicated page device. This meant that creating a page-based Apollo project would require the group, switch, and macro filter plugins. This could be hard for new users to get hold at first.

Describe the solution you'd like

The best solution would be a dedicated page device. This would provide an easy way for page setup without needing a template. Any UI would be fine, but perhaps just a simplistic one like the multi device where you just press '+' for a new page. A key filter could also be automatically added per page group to define the buttons to swap to that page.

Switch would still be kept for a similar experience to Twist/Wormhole

Describe alternatives you've considered

Obviously, a template could be used instead. However, a few caveats include that if someone did not have any person to give the template, setting up would be hard for the first time compared to Ableton's macro.

A solution for this could be that you could have the option to create a new project from a native apollo template, which includes the pages already setup.

Your setup

macOS Catalina 10.15.6 Apollo Studio 1.8.0

That's the entire point of the Group, Switch and Macro Filter devices. We have multiple macros that you can use for pages so that you can create custom page layouts, including subpages and using the same effect on multiple pages. Having to use 1 less device isn't really worth it imo compared to the flexibility you have with the current system. Also, you can enable different 'Auto create (some) Filter in new Group Chain' options to create Key and Macro filters for you in groups. Basically creates a page setup for you.

i have that problem im new on apollo studio and i really dont now how to make page switching.

rpgaleksy commented 4 years ago

This is more than redundant. As was stated the Group+Macrofilter+Switch combination was put in place for maximum flexibility.

For new users who are still learning there also exists a tutorial on how to literally create a basic 8 page project from scratch: https://youtu.be/ExlrBqfBqqM

Keep in mind that since then there have been some minor naming and UI differences regarding the page system, for more information look up the device reference within the documentation.

@saiman113 check out the respective paragraphs for Switch and Macro Filter https://github.com/mat1jaczyyy/apollo-studio/wiki/4.-Device-Reference If you still don't understand how to set this up feel free to ask in the Apollo Discord server.
