Hop FX - being able to jump to a line in a pattern #1271

Open Aisjam opened 3 years ago

Aisjam commented 3 years ago

Idea

I would like the ability to jump around the pattern to create looping repeats and some generative patterns using an FX command. Being able to say goto line 16 when triggered would go to line 16 and keep playing.

Why

When I work in LSDJ, I use a lot of H or hop commands for creating really interesting instruments with tables. I have been using this mindset by creating patterns that primarily I use to record a new sample from.

also a ++ would be the ability to repeat the hop a few times before the pattern continues.

Pattern can have 128 steps but there can not be 128 used as an effect value as this tracker does not use hexadecimal numbers in effects :-(.

True zikajk, there are some effects that are just a bool but programmer mind thinking here is they covert 100% to the closest value. they are working with midi they would need to convert that value to 128 for cc commands.

but yes it doesn't fit in the current framework however it would be a nice to have.
