Add a Master Effects page to Performance Mode

What is the problem?

The Master Effects parameters aren’t accessible in Performance Mode.

The operator has to exit Performance Mode and switch through multiple pages if they want to adjust them, then switch back to Performance Mode.

This can really break the flow of a nice performance and misses out on the excellent features of the Performance Mode interface, arguably the Tracker’s most powerful asset.

What should this feature achieve?

I propose a second page in the Performance Mode that allows access to the Master Effects parameters and Song BPM.

This new page would use the same layout and operate in the same way as the current Performance Mode except because these effects are applied at the master stage of the signal path you wouldn’t be able to assign effects to individual tracks using the screen buttons.

Potentially these buttons could be used for something else useful but I don’t know what right now so I’m open to suggestions.

I think the whole Performance Mode system is really unique and using it to adjust these Master parameters would be ridiculously good fun and sonically really interesting.

I could add a list of all the parameters that should be included but I think you understand what I’m talking about. Basically everything useful from Master Reverb, Delay, Limiter, Saturation, Bass Boost, BPM, etc.

Are there any workarounds?

Not really.

Obviously you can navigate to the Master Effects pages to adjust each value individually but that’s really nothing like the instrument style playability you get in Performance Mode.

Any links to related discussions?

or really, just make more cc control so you can reroute a midi track back to the fx.

that might be a tad too obvious

Great idea.

That would be really useful for pattern writing and using external controllers, but you wouldn’t get the benefits of Performance Mode if you just added CC / midi re-routing functionality.

I’d love to see that as a sub section of this request.

Or maybe a separate request entirely actually.
