Project Defaults

[monosynth]

What is the problem?

Having to change the project settings (BPM, Key, Root note, Aliasing…) every time you make/create a new project.

What should this feature achieve?

Some user may prefer to work with different default settings for every one project.
Hence a way to define project defaults would be awesome.

Are there any workarounds?

• Change everything every new project.
• Create a template project from which to start from and saving under a different name

Any links to related discussions?

Set initial / default tempo in Config

Some users work with the same BPM for every project. It would be nice to have a option in the Config that would allow to set a global, default tempo for every new project. What is the problem? The Tracker has a default / initial tempo for every project. This tempo cannot be changed in the Config. What do you want to achieve? Have an option in the Config to set the default tempo. Are there any workarounds? Set the tempo for each project. Any links to related discussions? – Any references to…

Any references to other products?

• Ableton default project settings
• MPC Live default project settings.

Hey @monosynth , welcome to Backstage!

There is already an existing wish that wants to achieve something similar:

It’s not as detailed as yours and doesn’t have much traction (just one vote in a year).

I think the reason for this might be because there is a very simple workaround, that works around this very well

• Setup a new project the way you want it and save it with a descriptive project name.
  For example: template-120bpm-csharp or whatever fits your bill.

• In the future just open the project you want to start from and resave the project with a different name and voila.

Maybe this is something you could adopt as well?
All that said - if you would like to continue with this wish, let me know and we will go ahead, no questions asked

[monosynth]

Oh yeah, that’s the Octa workaround too. I guess it’d be a more nice to have type thing. Maybe continue with the wish to see if anyone else is into it.

[Sandroid]

You got it

I’ve updated the wording slightly and your wish is now going into review.
When and if it gets approved by Polyend, it becomes open for voting.

[monosynth]

Awesome! Thank you

I mentioned a wish in the past with Solo Mute for the recording, but an option where all Tracks are [recording disabled] and then having to manually arm them, could also be an option within this wish.

[monosynth]

yessss i like that

[Sandroid]

For completeness, this is the wish that @gravedraq was referring to:

Solo [Arm] a track

The way ARM’ing is currently implemented leads to having to UNARM more tracks than actually ARM’ing. It would be useful if the selection behaviour would be reversed. As in: it would be easier if tracks where UNARM’ed when requesting to ARM instead of everything being ARM’ed from the get-go. What is the problem? For people who use ARM’ing to prevent notes from recording to adjacent tracks, the process of UNARM’ing is cumbersome, the way it is currently implemented. What should this feature ach…

[monosynth]

yes this. thank you again!

@monosynth

Create a template project from which to start from and saving under a different name

User template-options, when hitting new project is a great idea!

[monosynth]

Would be awesome imo
