Today I went through all the feature requests and, almost to my own surprise, this is the one that I’m missing the most as a long-term user of the Play / Play+. I have other requests but I got used to their absence or I found workarounds. But all this back and forth of pages whenever I want to create sequences of more than 16 steps… still bothers me.
Imagine this:
Long-long press to the select track step (top right step) opens the track mode page for that track.
It consists of
- 1-4 top rows for the 64 steps
- 5th row for the 16 variations of that track.
You select a variation and the top four rows show you what you’ve got there. You can copy & paste variations just as usual. - Still 3 rows left. Maybe for Faster pick and place with a user-customizable sample palette?
When you Play or Live rec, you can only edit that track. Mute and Solo buttons work for all 8 tracks. Variation buttons maybe not (risk of being too confusing).
While you are on this expanded track view, if you press the Select pad of another track, you switch to the expanded view of that track. Press the Select step of the expanded track to go to back to the normal sequencer page.
