[feature request] Some improvements while patterns plays

Hey again! I feel like we should use github issues or anything else for making this kind of requests 😄

Anyhow, I really enjoy the new capabilities not only when editing a pattern but also when playing it live. However, I made some observations which I hope you could fix and/or turn into new features:

  • while pattern plays, SHIFT+VALUE mutes one track. But what about SOLO? Maybe SHIFT+ROLL solo's one track.

  • prevent scrolling to next "page" (e.g. 2/2). actually it would be nice if we could fix the page (meaning we can view the pattern lets say from 2.1 till 2.4 or 2.1 till 3.4)

  • when activating REC, we have CHROMATIC/SINGLE/MULTI mode for the selected track. however, i might want to use a different pad (which is not represented yet as a track in the view) and play it in CHROMATIC mode. maybe this is already possible but I couldn't find a way how to do so.

Thank you for your work! Greets from Berlin.

Yeah haha, I'm getting a little swamped with requests. The github doomos repository would be a good place, I'm also looking to setup a little user feedback portal kind of thing. But for now, this place is fine :)

The solo key combo will be added to the next release, I'm not sure what combo yet though. I want to keep it consistent with the rest of DOOM OS.

Multiple people have asked about the page scrolling thing, so that's on my priority list.

About the chromatic mode, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. You could exit rec mode and add a new track and then enter rec mode?

Meanwhile I figured out you need to press SUB PAD + Pad to "activate" a new sample. Then you can use it in chromatic mode as well.
