Song white blocks and text or colour

[dramaone]

Just finished a track and I feel it would really help if you could click on a white block in song mode and name it.

Even if limited to four or five characters, you could call them for eg bass, drum1, vox1, fx1 etc and then its clear what they are and you dont have to preview the audio. Even being able to choose a colour for them would be good. Really helps for a quick copy and paste

Thanks

Track renaming has been added in firmware version 1.2.0 (I think). It's available on the "Track Mixer 2/3" screen (press the Master button twice). After hitting the red [Rec] button the word "Edit" (in red) will appear in place of Mute. Hitting the button underneath the track will open up a menu that allows you to change that track's name.

and the text appears in the white blocks?

Assuming you mean these white block, then yes:

[dramaone]

And these white blocks get renamed? its ok having tracks named at top but when you have variations of breaks patterns etc then in the white blocks it gets hard to identify them without auditioning them. So for eg, in the drums track i have 20 variations. If the white blocks were able to be named or colour coded it would help.

Ah, yes that isn't supported yet. I think #421 is a duplicate of this one then.

i think its important, only naming tracks suggests you only use 8 samples/sounds. This tracker would never stay that static, its not a mixing desk where you have synths,samplers plugged into a channel. Its multiple patterns examples, sounds crossing over tracks. Its not realistic to suggest track 1 would only be for eg . a kick. With 8 track limit you will always want to put a another sound on track 1. Maybe you could call the tracks - drums and limit yourself to only drums and percussion. The white blocks need to be identified, through text or colour ( with shades )atleast. Its key. When you have a busy track with lots of variation patterns identifying them through the white blocks makes the work flow so much easier and quicker! I cant believe this hasnt got more noise

[dramaone]

please, i need this, i change drum patterns so frequently that i quickly lose track and melt into a sea of non identifiable white blocks. Imagine a daw that didnt label its audio clips!

I would love this as well

It would be already super dope to have a small number identifying the pattern on the rectangle

[dias236]

It would be Nice and Easier to use the song mode with color coded tracks, where patterns have distinct tones of their track color.
