I tried with the DAW window minimised, or just made small and I don't see it.
All the dialog boxes in the VST look a bit "messed up" as well
Tried in FL Studio and same thing
Possibly some issue with Windows 10

Thanks, I received confirmation that Xils got your message.
Just an idea : Could it be possible that you use the Trial Dongle/Full feature version, and not the full version ? Cos the demo version, even the full featured one with dongle has still ONE limitation : It doesnt allow for sample import.Button 'import .wav should be greyed though, so maybe a cosmetic bug here)CoolColJ wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 10:26 amI tried with the DAW window minimised, or just made small and I don't see it.

Thanks for adding my FR.Lotuzia wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 9:28 amYes, sorry, I never know actually what is the current level of knowledge of StiX of a poster, hence why I can indicate some tips that are not relevant. The functions you describe have been added to the FR. Can't promise anything, because of the UI/GUI structure, but if it's doable we'll look into it.Local Man wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 6:51 amI'm aware of the little boxes to auto fill and erase each lane and that's a nice feature but they are not as quick and don't quite do what I am talking about. For example, you cannot do the things I mentioned in my examples (quickly fill in all cells for only some beats, and quickly deleting data for multiple lanes/instruments in one swipe) with the little tick boxes.Lotuzia wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 12:03 amTip : You can fill any single sequencer line of a pattern with the small square at the left of each sequencer lane (left click). And erase the lane also (right click). More advanced features can tell, but in the next versions the focus will be put on something that will offer a super fast alternative to the current workflow : Live input to sequencer.Local Man wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 10:41 pm OK, so I bit the bullet and picked up the full version before the discount expires. I'm assuming this would be the thread for feature requests so here goes:
It would be very nice if you could edit multiple sequencer cells by clicking and dragging. This is a feature many other sequencer programs have. For example, if you want repeated 16th notes for the last two bars of your hihats. Just click the first cell on the 3rd bar and drag all the way to the right.
It also helps when erasing sections on multiple lanes. Click on an active cell on one lane (kick for example) and drag across any active cell on any lane to deactive.
This kind of the thing really helps for a quick workflow.
Stix is great by the way. The extra synthesis options in the full version are terrific.
It's not a big deal, it's just a recommendation because I think it's the most elegant way to handle sequencer input and it's a pretty common feature in other step sequencers.
As for the live input, that is very intriguing and I'm very curious to see in action how that will be an improvement over using the DAW sequencer. Maybe my imagination is failing me here a little here but anyway I do look forward to playing with that feature.
The Live input is very simple, though it requires to play the drumpads or midi KB with a bit of accuracy timing wise : You'll be able to input drum strikes into StiX sequencer Live, while pattern(s) is/are looping, with midi drumpads or Midi KB. It's exactly and strictly : An alternative way to input notes in the sequencer VS clicking in the steps with the mouse. It's also similar to the behaviour of a lot of old drum machines, including the SP12 for example.
But, .... you'll still have afterwhile all the possibilities the sequencer offers : Per Step divisi, Micro Position, P.Lock parameters with Macro controls, Gate Time, the PolyStep modulations etc.
This is a long time development goal/cycle though. But I think it will add a lot (while keeping all that is already here strictly identical)
Thanks for mentioning it. All good then
No, these are not possible at the momentLocal Man wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 3:48 am Here are a few feature requests I have for now (though once I am done going through the manual in detail, I'm sure I'll have some more).
1) Undo steps for the randomize functions.
Sometimes I like to hit the smart randomize button a bunch of times to get inspiration, but every once in a while I hit it one time too many and think 'oh, that last kit was great actually,' but then it's too late . Being able to go backwards as well as forwards would be very nice.
2) The ability to adjust the number of beats in the sequencer per drum module. The way it is now everything is fixed at 4 beats. And though the beats can be subdivided in very cool ways, each pattern will still repeat at the same time. If you could for example set the kick to repeat at 4 beats, the snare at 3 beats, the hihats at 3.5 beats, etc, etc...then you could create some really cool, evolving polyrhythms.
4)This one is just a simple UX thing but it would be nice to be able to divide the steps and beats with one click of the mouse. The way it is now you click on the current number and then a context menu appears with the division options that are available and then you have to click again the one you want. It would be nicer from a workflow point of view to be able to click, hold as the context menu comes up, and drag to the option you want. All in one click.
Forgive me if any of this stuff is currently possible but I don't think so.

Undo : Added on the list. Atm the best is to save the random drumkit/sequencer line/sequencer pattern, possibly in a special temp bank you create on the fly.
2/ PolyRythm : Is the most demanded feature : Until recently, we thought it was strictly impossible, but there seems to maybe be a possibility. Don't expect anything in the near future, but if it's really doable, we'll try to implement it at some point (it's not trivial though, and will require a lot of work)
3/ Step Divisi workflow : The way you describe was the initial one. We had so much problems, including different problems in different daws/os/combos etc, that we reverted to the current solution. If it's doable, we'll make it. Here again, a lot of work and debug. Should it be top priority over other developments, for example all that we added for version 1.5 ? There's no easy answer.
