I would have LOVED to release on April Fool's day, but it was not to be, I'm afraid!

Don't worry, you can always aim for a 1. April release next year...colin@loomer wrote:I would have LOVED to release on April Fool's day, but it was not to be, I'm afraid!

Not to worry, the new tax year starts next week - seems like a excellent time to start something new...colin@loomer wrote:I would have LOVED to release on April Fool's day, but it was not to be, I'm afraid!

Absolutely: I'm aiming to get some more screenshots of some unseen parts up soon.

So what does the arranger arrange? Is this hosting plugins?

Yes it can host plug-ins, but the arranger is for linearly sequencing clips for the various sequencer modules.

I am very glad to see some sort of linear clip arrangement facility (especially one that seems to allow automation and note/event data); its the one thing sorely lacking from pretty much all of the existing modular-environment plugins.colin@loomer wrote:Yes it can host plug-ins, but the arranger is for linearly sequencing clips for the various sequencer modules.

RaxnTrax is modular and has a linear sequencer besides its various step and automation sequencers

The polishing continues as I optimise memory usage. Unlimited undos are great, but I've found that some commands consume much more memory than they need. And I like to keep things lean.
And because I've ended up changing the way that parameters are stored, it also gives me a chance to improve some MIDI mapping code. MIDI mapping may sound like something simple, but due to the fact that the MIDI mappable parameters are not fixed (as would be parameters in your typical VST synth, for example), and that I allow almost everything to be MIDI mapped*, it's some mighty clever code.
I'm also making MIDI mapping a little more intelligent. It's a pain to individually map each step in a step sequencer, so it will now try it's best to detect patterns and offer to auto-complete as necessary. If you map step 1 of a sequencer to CC #4 and step 2 to CC #5, it will automatically offer to map the remaining steps to consecutive CCs starting at CC #6.
* Off the top of my head, I think it's just the Input and Output device selections which can't be mapped, and due to the way they work, I can't see they ever will be I'm afraid. There are workarounds though: if you want to route to a MIDI device depending on the value of MIDI CC, you can create two Output device modules, and then route to either using a MIDI controlled switch.
