This software is terrible... as an experience musician, I can tell that the scales are not accurate. Further the software lags a lot and adding multiple instruments and layers creates a noise.
v2 problems: Inability to scrub the timeline(shorter patterns helps *but); no undo button; limited labelling/Pattern-management* system; no auto-save, no quick-save, no titlebar->file->save, no automatic save overwrite; easy to edit/delete the wrong pattern(layered notes are a nightmare). Some easy patch-fixes: add the ability to lock patterns, let us label/colour/organize the patterns, allow larger expanded pattern manager.
I still don't understand how you are supposed to 'move' patterns once they are placed....I've been duplicating and deleting the old position. The advanced tips, given that it covers TIMELINE DELETION HOTKEYS, should definitely be merged with the main tutorial (otherwise its a good tutorial). 'Good but Be prepared to permanently delete your work' is the tldr of this program. I don't know what year the overall save functionality of this program is trying to reference, but I remember all the programs I used in the 90s being more advanced.
Hey there! You should give the updated version a try, as it introduces undo/redo and unsaved changes checks so you don’t lose your work permanently! Has shortcuts for saving too.
At first glance, I thought it gonna be a small and cute project you did, but man, it's more serious than I thought it could be, I never saw a DAW program with a built-in swing, and definitely not one that lets me decide how much swing!
I really enjoy messing with this, and I think I'll use it to make some tracks, great job!
