In a performance, the user may want to sustain a held synth note on the grid, while also wanting to apply a hold on another synth slot. Currently holding shift will hold all notes held on the grid
What should this feature achieve?
The option to ignore Hold for each synth slot. My suggestion would be to put this in the scene settings so the user needs to engage this on a scene level (would help to avoid user-error)
Are there any workarounds?
Depending on the amount of time you have to make your switch, you can Hold all of the pads, and then engage the pads you didn’t want held again and do another Shift on them to remove the hold.
Perhaps they could be combined. Yours seems focused on the double tap unlatch, while mine is more on holding notes with the held shift. Being I’m dropping the wish so I’m not going to Mod here, but perhaps @3amigos could chime in
My wish would simply be a scene setting where you can set any of the slots to ignore being held. I’ll often have a slot where I am playing a chord progression. Then I want to bring in another synth and hold an arp. When I hit hold, it also holds the pad I’m pressing on that is doing the chord progression and I don’t want it to be held. I’m proposing that we can disable held notes per synth slot on a Scene level.
My suggestion, which by no means you should necessarily follow, would be to combine not only these 2 wishes, but also include this one by @dan.lgrnd, into an overall Shift-Hold improvement package. I do also see why you would want to keep the parts in separate issues. It’s just spreading the butter very thin in my opinion and for someone who wants all of it, it will require about a third of their total votes.
