BeatStep_Q v2.0

[raphaelquast]

❗layer-switch buttons & encoder assignments for the "sequencer" layer have changed❗

• chan now activates the sequencer-layer (pressing chan again initializes a MIDI sequence)
• shift + chan activates mix-layer
• double-tapping shift now permanently activates the shift-layer
• ... and check the assignments-image for changes in the "sequencer" layer!

new

• encoder 8 & 16 now work the same in ALL layers
  (now you can always use them to select tracks/scenes or scroll drumracks if shift is pressed)
• changing layers now automatically switches Ableton-views:
  • control, browser: show DeviceChain
  • sequencer: show MIDI Clip
  • mix : hide Details-Tab

🚀 major updates to the usability of the MIDI note editor (sequencer): Multi-Touch Editing!

• tap a button to mute / unmute the corresponding note
• >> touch and hold << one or more buttons + turn the transpose-encoder
  to change the assigned property of the corresponding notes
  • set the "assigned property" (e.g. pitch, velocity, duration, . . . ) via encoder 1-6
  • set loop start/end and position via encoder 9-13
• if no button is pressed, the transpose-encoder now changes the "assigned property" for ALL notes
  • similarly encoder 15 now sets the "assigned property" of all notes inside the loop
• ... finally you can also use shift + encoder 1-16 to set the "assigned property" of notes 1-16 directly

fixes

• deletion of return-tracks now works as expected (control)
• "load item on new track" no longer creates unnecessary return-tracks (browser)
• fix error for duplication of clips in the last scene (shift)
• fix buttons not set to "note-mode" if no layer is active and shift is pressed (shift)
• properly check start < end condition before setting loop (sequencer)
• important status-bar messages now remain visible until the layer is deactivated
• indicate empty group-slots as "magenta" (and "blue" if clips are present inside the group) (launch)
• better color-indication of the activated layers
