FR - Not Cycle option or adjustable loop start marker. #25

Open viceverser opened 3 years ago

viceverser commented 3 years ago

Would be nice to have a means by which I can adjust the start position of a Pattern... If I want the down beat to be 1 beat later, I have to redraw the whole pattern, Would prefer to be able to cycle the notes forward or back, or have a "start" marker to drag across the top and change the 1 (down) beat. Either (or another more intelligent approach) would be a huge help.

Thanks for your consideration... Cheers V.

viceverser, This is a good idea, and shouldn't be that hard to implement. Right now, the best you can do is use shift and mouse-select a region then use right arrow to shift that region to the right. Obviously you'd need to redo your rightmost column as the first column as it would be overwritten.

Just FYI @rudeog we have these buttons on the surge SS and one of our requests is to host automate them, so if you add similar buttons in stochas something to think about. (Basically you can shift your pattern by N using a parameter).

It might be good to have both an edit option to shift left and right, as well as an automation and midi to shift pattern left and right during playback (which doesn't affect the pattern, ie they retain their positions in this case, just the playback changes).
