Transport in Standalone #11

Closed baconpaul closed 3 years ago

baconpaul commented 3 years ago

Standalone works but isn't that useful since it doesn't have external transport

Perhaps in standalone mode (so the playhead pointer is null) we add a transport tab in the UI so we can set BPM and do play/stop/etc...

Technically I would do it by, in standalone mode, mocking up a subclass of https://docs.juce.com/master/classAudioPlayHead.html#a6f0e066286b0541b5cd17435ff9e969e which supports canControlTransport true so we have to change as little code as possible. That is in the "if ph == nullptr" branch of process assign ph to a std::unique_ptr which you init the first time through. That kind of thing.

Probably as far as where it fits in the ui, we have a space next to layer name that could potentially have a bpm control and a play button which could toggle to a stop button when playing. As far as how to get the play position in, you are probably on the right track.

Oh you know if we put it there we could have it on in hosted mode also since that juce api lets you ask if a plugin can start transport. Just a thought...

Don’t know which daws actually say true to that api tho!

Transport and tempo control have been added in standalone mode
