Howdy all,
so while porting the 'chord' mode from MIDIpal yesterday I was playing around with these, but I'm not sure how useful they are since I'm coming at this mostly from a code point of view
I forget if these have a well-defined name, so if they do let me know...
1. cycle
Played notes: C-E-G
Result (up): C-E-G E-G-C G-C-E repeat...
2. cycle with octave (supercycle?)
Played notes: C1-E1-G1
Result (up): C1-E1-G1 E1-G1-C2 G1-C2-E2 repeat...
If that makes sense
They seemed to work for Down, U&D, and with the regular octave parameter as well.
Downside: an explosion of "Dire" entries if I add "UpCy", "DnCy", UDCy", "UpSc", "DnSc", "UDSc".
So during my morning commute I thought about just adding "Cycl", with a separate sub-page for editing, e.g. [ Dire (up,down,u&d), Octv (yes/no) ]
The "arp step sequencer" as suggested in the firmware thread is something I need to give some thought, but now that I'm thinking about it it might provide similar effect if it has some kind of "offset" parameter as well. Hm...
Suggestions welcome
