Step sequencer fixes and improvements

  • Added small delay between step press and note param activation (sliders) for less flashy sequence editing. Delay is equal to when the step press becomes long press.
  • Added a setting to keep notes within their original steps when nudging
  • In "Quick Clip Selector" (hold STEP), pressing an empty slot will create a new clip and select it
  • When transport is playing, newly created clips will play too
  • Added "note interlace" setting
  • Changed alternating note colors to 8 rainbow colors, for better visual separation
  • Refactored controller settings: re-add MonsterJam in your Bitwig

Step sequencer fixes and improvements

  • Updated color scheme for alternarting note rows: now it's the note itself that gets the color instead of the background, looks much better
  • Fixed regression in quick clip selector activation, could break switching between STEP mode and clip matrix
  • Fixed regression in pattern page follow while holding steps, condition was flipped
  • Fixed quick clip selector colors, was showing empty scene clips as white
  • Fixed SHIFT button forgetting its normal bindings in step mode

Other fixes

  • Fixed SONG button indicator for superscene mode, was not lighting up
  • REC+GROUP to arm multiple tracks won't trigger transport record unless you mean it (with a single short press of REC)

Added major step sequencer features

  • Note expressions editor

    • Now self-activated when steps are held, no longer need to press TUNE
    • Added single row mode, control one parameter for all notes in a row
    • Nudging a note will shorten it if it bumps into the next note, instead of bumping the next note
    • Duration adjustments are limited to a single step (so it won't clobber the next note)
    • Added parameter popup notifications
  • Step sequencer

    • Added pattern page bank selectors for accessing up to 64 pages (via SHIFT-SCENE)
    • Added quick clip selector (hold STEP)
    • Pattern page follow disabled when holding steps
    • Previous slider mode auto-restores after expressions editor
  • Fixed: step size and pattern scroll position could be set impromperly when switching tracks

  • Fixed: currently playing pages no longer blink for non-playing clips

  • Step: multi-row notes were wrapping incorrectly

  • Step: note preview + setting. Pressing any step in step sequencer will play that note.
  • Step: NOTES mode now restores automatically and reliably, per track

Fixes

  • All scales are now correct, not just C
  • It was possible for sequencer state to save on the wrong track, now much more robust

  • Step: note selector jumps in banks
  • Step: scrolling will display note range notification, many other notifications added
  • Hold REC to arm multiple tracks
  • Clear REC/MUTE/SOLO on all tracks with CLEAR
  • Clip queued for recording will flash red

Fixes:

  • No more collision warnings that TrackTracker complained about
  • Adding new step would display wrong velocity in NOTES mode
  • Step sequencer was mapped to wrong notes and not aligned with note pads

New:

  • Lenient launch lookahead setting to compensate for event processing delay
  • STEP: scales
  • STEP: pattern page follow + setting
  • STEP: alternating row colors apply to note selector
  • Docs, of course

Fixed/changed:

  • STEP: Brightness levels were not updated when displaying velocity matrix
  • STEP: Sequencer state was not properly recalled when switching tracks
  • Lenient launch was flakey upon initial transport start
  • Lenient launch was flakey due to event processing delay on some systems
  • STEP: grid window now bottom-focused
  • STEP: note pages match Drum Machine layout (in chromatic scale)

Known issues:

  • Switching scales does not attempt to preserve relative Y-position in the clip
  • NOTES mode does not automatically restore on STEP activation
  • NOTES mode activation can be a little wonky in general (but still harmless)
  • TUNE mode does not reactivate with STEP
  • Deactivating TUNE mode does not automatically reactivate previous slider mode
  • README typos
