Saving things #13

Open sarweiler opened 5 years ago

Provide an option to save the current state of the sequencer (parameters + board). Maybe use KEY2 + KEY3 for saving.

ericmoderbacher commented 5 years ago

I am looking into saving the boards. It ties in pretty well to the time-traveling mod I'm working on. I was thinking that there may be a need for a user to save multiple boards. So I i might try to use glyph system like the one found in ansible: https://monome.org/docs/modular/ansible/

looks like what i meant to say was Kria. There is a lua port found here: https://github.com/monome/dust/blob/4d8705b0958226deb74908d9f979c6bbc4d363cd/lib/lua/ansible/kria.lua

but i think that maybe the glyph functionality might be something that could be made into its own lib.

That's a great idea! A glyph/state saving library would be really nice as many Ansible/Kria users will be familiar with the concept.

I agree that the need for saving boards is there - it will make Zellen much more useful in a live show context. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I will resume my own Norns (and Zellen) development efforts soon.

Btw, feel free to create "enhancement" issues here for features you are working on, in case you want to track your work here.

I should get my norns back from repairs soon, ill try to implement this then. @sarweiler just saw your lines update, very cool work!

sarweiler commented 5 years ago

Awesome! I think I'll tackle more refactoring next - mainly splitting the zellen.lua file into several modules and writing unit tests for them.

ericmoderbacher commented 5 years ago

I have my Norns again, I've been stewing on this issue and i think im going to make a library to address the feature.

sarweiler commented 5 years ago

Sounds great! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
