'pedantic' ? streamlining of firmware

What is the problem?

So the below is something I’m saying as … ‘pedantic’ thingies Polyend might take into account for a future update ? :slight_smile:

What should this feature achieve?

/**** Hitting button [Song]
One have to stop playing the »song« in order to ‘jump’ to another »pattern«

  • maybe there’s reasons for that decision ?
    I kinda ‘struggled’ to figure out I had to stop playing the »song«
  • I intuitively expected I could use [arrow-up] & [arrow-down] to move to another »pattern« being played while the »song« were playing

/**** Some inconsistencies ? - the text on 1. screen / 2. screen etc.

I like when hitting button [File] and then [Open] etc. that the text in the top change to »File - Open« »File - etc.«

? So [Master] should be;

  • Master 1/3
  • Master 2/3 - Track Mixer
  • Master 3/3 - Global Mixer
    instead of;
  • Master 1/3
  • Track Mixer 2/3
  • Global Mixer 3/3

And going into the various »Effects« on »Master 1/3« reads

  • Master Reverb etc.
    instead of
  • Master 1/3 - Reverb etc.
    it is a bit confusing that it ‘locks’ to e.i. the [reverb] (even one re-hits [Master] or another button) & one have to hit [back] to go to the main »Master 1/3«
  • that’s different than [Sample editor] + [Select effect] were it doesn’t lock
    (most buttons lock to return to the same read upon returning back ?)

So having mentioned [Sample Editor] it’s a bit the same as with [Master] ? reading

  • Sample Editor 1/2
    but hitting [Select effect] then reads
  • Sample Editor Normalizer etc.

And [Instrument Parameters] also have 2 different reads on 1/2 versus 2/2
and hitting [More] on 1/2 yields it to swap to [Back] instead of [More] ? just like the 3 screens in [Pattern] runs [More] for all 3

/****
I don’t know … maybe I misunderstood a few things ?
It do seem to me there’s some mismatch in conventions ? :slight_smile:

  • as some »buttons« didn’t confuse me were others THEN did because it didn’t felt ‘right’ not matching all together - At least I think so … :slight_smile:

Are there any workarounds?
