Got a Great Idea?

Hello, For me the biggest issue is to keep track of all my experiments. If you only have bank and program numbers you need a notebook to keep track. But to keep track of the many many experiments, it would be perfect if we could midi dump as sysex into our DAW or export in some way to a computer. A while ago I read here that this functionality is in the tunnel? What is the status on this?

regarding latch stuff, if it's easy to add per track, that might be even better, but I wouldn't mind a global setting!

maybe it also pairs with a 'retrigger' option. My reference for this behavior is cthulhu when retrigger and latch are both off

thanks for the thoughtful responses to all of these, one small thing I think I didn't explain well the rhythm entry ux proposal:

I meant that the buttons would affect the vertical value of each step in the rhythm (I believe there's 9 but I might've miscounted), I thought 0-8 could be the 9 steps

so knob controls horizontally the current step for editing (as currently), but in addition to up/down to control velocity, we could quickly enter velocities per step with the 8 button row

tying isn't really solved with this, but thought it would really speed up new rhythms!

just some wishlist things, generally super happy with the existing featureset.. always excited to see what you're cooking up!

Here's some things I've thought about while using midicake! Midicake Wishlist

• latch optional while playing 

  • instead of retaining the last chord, only play while notes are held down

  • pattern doesn't start on 1 with chord, but rather runs with song

• quick edit mode for rhythm's

  • I thought it might be nice if when editing a rhythm if the ux for binaries could be utilized for a quicker entry

  • I believe there are 8 levels from 0 to max velocity per step when editing rhythms, so the 8 buttons that are used to work with binary triggers could represent this and allow the user to use the right hand on the knob and the left hand quickly punching out velocities

  • (already really impressed by the additional binary functionality, didn't expect such a major capability improvement from an update)

• sub group editing

  • would love if I could select ie: tracks 1 and 2 as opposed to only one or all

• backup/librarian

  • I one time accidentally stumbled on a website that seemed to be some kind of midicake diagnostic/editor, not sure if this is something in the pipeline.

  • copy between banks would be great

• modulator value conversions

  • Converting the modulation % to the value they're modulating would be great, although not sure the amount of dev work required. 

  • For Example, when modulating note offset I tend to do one of the square waves that are fully up or down and adjust the boundaries before moving to my goal modulation shape.. this works fine, but sometimes when editing especially it's easy to get lost where if I could see the value it would be easier to quickly logic where I need to move things.

  • In liu of this, I thought perhaps just a table pointing out the modulation percentage to value conversions. (If I have time on the right day I'll put this together)

A great Idea could be to have a Turing machine built in and or other pattern generation tools next to arps.
