Clip Launching Matrix view

Press up on the DPAD to see.

Active cells are displayed in green.

A cell that is about to launch pulsates in green.

When multiple cells refer to a shared phrase number, their color becomes red.

A single cell can be copied by pressing B while selected. Pressing B after selecting another cell will paste the value again.

|Press | Description| |---|---| |CPAD | Move cursor | A | launch cell (phrase) | B | Insert last value to cell | B + CPAD | Change cell values (phrase) | B +A | Launch row | X | Cycle selection modes (cursor / all tracks) | Y | Open menu | Start | Toggle between editing phrase numbers or clip lengths

|Menu Item | Description| |---|---| |Insert Row|Inserts a row ABOVE the currently selected row| |Delete Row| |Copy| Copies the recangular selection |Paste| Pastes the rectangular selection at the cursor |Rotate| Not yet fully implemented |Duplicate| Same as copy & paste to next row |Toggle continue| Cells normmaly cycle downwards but repeat the current when this is disabled. |Capture as new|Enters currently playing phrase numbers to the current row (override) |Insert next free|Finds and insert the next unused / empty phrase number to the current cell |Make unique|Copies every selected phrase into a unique slot to allow editing non-destructively afterwards (de-dupe) |Make instr unique|Clones the instruments used in the selected phrases to allow editing non-destructively afterwards |Remove duplicates|Opposite of make unique, replaces all phrases which have identical content |Duplicate uniquely|Duplicates the current row and makes both, phrases and instruments unique

Tracker view

Press right on the DPAD to see.

The top row displays the lane number and the column abbreviations. The full column name is displayed in the status-bar at the bottom of the top screen when a column is selected.

Columns are only selectable when the "Column select mode" is enabled.

A single cell can be copied by pressing B while selected. Pressing B after selecting another cell will paste the value again.

Tip: Press Select + DPAD right to show the Pads view on the bottom screen with the tracker view at the top screen.

Now you can use the pads or the piano to insert notes to specific locations. Make sure that the pattern follow mode is off (A) and REC is enabled.

|Press | Description| |---|---| | A | Toggle playhead follow mode | B | Insert last value or escape selection | B + C-Pad | Change cell value | B + A | Clear cell value | B + X | While held, C-Pad changes note length | X | Cycle selection modes (cursor / all tracks) | Y | Open menu | | L | Toggle compact mode (only notes) | A + B | Set note length to cursor | A + C-Pad | Up/Down shift cell(s) | A + D-Pad | Left/Right moves the lane (reorder)

|Menu Item | Description| |---|---| |Copy|Copy selection |Paste|Paste selection |Cut|Copy and clear selection |Duplicate|Copy and paste selection to next row |Interpolate|Fills gaps between every value in the selected columns with interpolated values

• Selected cells can be shifted by holding A and pressing up or down on the d-pad

• Without a selection, the current row is shifted, useful for nudging/fixing timing mistakes

• Duplicating a selection will move the cursor and selection to allow repeating from there

• Allow moving lanes with A + dpad left/right in trackerwidget

• longer notes are succeeded by empty characters instead of "---"

• Pressing A+B inserts a "note off" (changes the length of the previous note)

• Holding B+X allows changing the note length with the C-Pad

• Added Events::insertLengthToNextNote() and Events::findPreviousNoteRowIndex() methods.

• Fixed broken test code
• Now using the parameters default value when inserting to empty cell

Tracker companion view (bottom screen of tracker view)

This view is a very crude placeholder and needs to be fleshed out or replaced in the future

• Sliders allow setting the current clip- and phrase length.
• The phrase loops for the duration of the clip length

|Button|Meaning| |---|---| | Follow| Same as pressing A, toggles cursor following phrase playback | Cmpct| Same as pressing L, toggles compact mode | SlCol | Toggles ability to selected individual columns, else only lanes are selectable | Loop | Does nothing, not implemented, apologies | Mouse | Allows moving the cursor like a mouse or trackpad. Use the CPAD at the same time to nagivate even faster | Pinst| When on, selects any instrument the cursor comes across during playback | Ginst| When on, selects any instrument the cursor comes across while navigating

Companion PC app (Qt5 based)

PC companion app source code and linux x64 binary available on GitHub

The 3DS screens can be displayed on a PC via local wifi.

Navigation Map

The current screen location is displayed by a small map on the upper left screen.

Rotaty Slider widget

This rotary slider is currently only used in the FX view and the bottom tracker-view.

Touching a slider will display a "Pac-Man" or pie-chart like graphic in the top screen. Slide clockwise around the screen center to increase the value and anti-clockwise to decrese it.

• Pressing the D-Pad up or down while dragging a rotary slider allows changing the sensitivity.
• DPAD + left resets sensitivity to 1.0 and right toggles between two slots to allow setting a coarse and a fine value.

Screens are now selected with the D-Pad:

• Press once to select screen
• Press multiple times to cycle additional screens
