Whew! Anyway, what I am getting around to saying is that I may hold off a bit to get to the type of features that you are describing, but they are definitely good ideas and are quite the type of thing I want to bring in to Doggiebox.
That's cool. I was chucking into the ring all the little things I thought of whilst messing around with DB recently to see what folks thought. After all, some of the things I asked about seem to work already, and I simply hadn't known how to do it :)
The "mono/stereo" indicator on my install of 1C10 looks kinda odd, in that even when playing stereo one of the earphones is greyed out, though the "M" does darken up when mono output is selected.
Yeah I know that's the way it looks currently. Maybe it is a bit misleading. Do you think that fully-dark headphones (both sides) should appear during normal stereo, then have one go grey while mono? I guess that would make sense, since there is at least already an "M" to indicate what the button does.
Yeah, that's actually what I thought was gonna happen (I guess I didn't read the original posts carefully enough!). At least, with one headphone always greyed out even in stereo, it makes me wonder why the headphone is greyed out and what magical event might ungrey it! :) I feel like I'm finally figuring out more how to get the most out of the interface, especially in assembling patterns, hauling them around between dbsongs, and tweaking them. I was thinking of making a special dbsong of just a pile of basic patterns and variations and fills to use as a sort of "drum pattern library". Then I could rapidly pull basic sections from it to assemble a rough drum part for a song, and tweak them later when I had a better idea of what would suit the piece.
