Is there no news or is the project discontinued?

I was wondering what the impact of the new project scale feature might be on this?
I installed the new ‘Tracker Mini Note Input Mode (Open Beta)’ and I’m enjoying using the top row of 8 buttons on the mini as a mini keyboard. I tend to use something like the ‘Yo’ scale in the project and choose a selection of notes the 8 keys will play in the ‘Yo’ scale. I’ve not tried out a midi keyboard on the Mini since this update, but how will this mini keyboard work if you play keys that are not in the scale you set for the project?

Unfortunately not anymore at my age

This project is still on track.
It has been a challenge to get the keys looking and performing well and stay on a budget.
We have gone from 3d printing, to casting, to cnc cutting, and it will most likely be a combination of those.
I should have an image to share soon.

So far, just messing around with it, the midi input seems completely independent.
But, am I missing something? How do you set up a specific scale? I have only been able to move the 8 consecutive notes around. Is there a way to set individual non-consecutive notes, or switch to a specific non-chromatic scale?

This is accessed in the config menu - there is an option to set a global scale. Once you have set it, the notes in note entry mode are constrained to the scale.

Aha. Found it.

@Mitch

Note input mode adds the ability to toggle the 8 buttons under the screen to input or preview 8 different notes.

• On the pattern screen press Shift + Note to toggle note input mode
• The set of notes available can be changed by holding Note and using the D-pad to select 8 notes in a row.
• Set a note scale in the project settings to change the available notes. The root note selection is the note in the lower leftmost corner.

Still the same. MIDI seems to be independent of the new feature, regardless of scale settings.

Hey, @SeanMichaelJohnston congratulations for your incredibly job, looks impresive. Did you think about making something similar with the Play+ ? I mean something like speakers, battery, bluetooth for line-out and also for MIDI…an APP to manage the samples, projects and firmware will be Killer!!! <3
