OS 2.5 ideas and bug fixes? :)

2003-04-14 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

New OS ideas:

- Pressing Play+Stop will automatically cause the Pattern to begin playing 
back at the start of any defined Loops.  If no loop points are defined, 
then the Pattern begins playing back at the beginning as normal, or 
switches to the next queued pattern.

- Track Mute buttons should function as shortcut keys for Pattern Edit 
menus, same as they do within Preset Edit.  True, there's no labels 
screened on the box for this, but the most common used ones will be easy 
enough to remember after you've done it a few times..

- Cut, Copy, and Paste commands and Note and Event List Edit screens 
should default to the current active (Basic) Track.  Ditto for the Send 
screen in the Global menu.

- TAP+ (Pattern Edit button) becomes shortcut for Revert to Saved. 

- TAP + (Preset Edit Button) loads the initialized Preset to the current 
Track (basically this is a way to initialize the current preset).

- TAP + Arp button acts as short cut for Arp hold On/Off.

- Snap and/or Relative mode for the 16 knobs.

- A Copy and Paste field command.  IE, pressing some button combination 
will cause the value currently selected by the blinking cursor location to 
be copied.  Another button combination causes this value to be pasted into 
the next selected location of the same value type.  This would make it 
easy to set things (Note #, CC#, etc) to the same values while in the List 
Editors, or in any screen for that matter.

- An option (selected or disabled via the menu) for Multisetups to restore 
ALL parameters, including current Pattern location, basic channel, etc.

- The ability to grid record CC numbers.



Bug fixes. 

- Currently if your cursor is on the count in field of the Record Armed 
page, and you scroll hard to change this to the 'note symbol' used in 
first note record, the cursor will jump to the quantize field by itself.

- Issue with the Repeat Button unmuting tracks.

- Changing meters on the Conductor Track in Song Mode causes a complete 
lock up.
