Step repeat

[madeinspace]

Any chance of implementing a step repeat? that'd take us closer to #105 :) thanks for considering!

I don't think so, I'm not talking about rachets, but step repeat per pulse as in the possibility of repeating the step for each pulse as opposed to rachets

Step repeat is not implemented and will not become part of note sequence. This unfortunately uses up too much memory and I would have to reduce the number of patterns of a project which I would like to avoid. But there are plans to have this functionality in a different track mode as #105 mentions.

I have been thinking of a version a bit like the beat roller (I think that is the name) on the BeatStep.

Would work as follows:

Perf page:

hold down s1 to repeat last 1 step, s2 to repeat last 2 steps, etc. or something similar

Another option:

s1 = repeat last 1 of track 1
s9 = repeat last 4 of track 1

s2 = repeat last 1 of track 2
s10 = repeat last 4 of track 2

etc.

perhaps we make the pre-set repeat number settable by the user

Will give it a try after I've looked at the code more. Hopefully there is some global pointer to each tracks current step.

All the step keys are already used on the performer page. Holding S1-8 allows for setting the fill amount. Pressing S9-10 activates fills.

ah, nice. missed that. perhaps F5 enables the beat roller/looper. hypothetically - as I'm speaking of a feature that doesn't yet exist and perhaps no one wants (though I want it and will likely make it in some form even if just in a private build).

I thought about adding the beat repeat thing as a fill mode. But having it set to a fixed repetition value is not that cool, so it would still require additional UI which is kind of hard at this point.
