Sequences from Robotic Bean - 1.3 is out!
Really nice update. Glad I purchased this RE immediately when it came out. My next two update wishes (though I do not want to seem too demanding, this is already great!) are:
- ratcheting lane (like the cv lanes)
- slide (per note if possible)
- ability to set root key of sequence (e.g, if I record a sequence in a-minor, transpose should be "neutral" if I hit the A key. Currently I record a sequence and then shift it to C, but this can be bothersome if not all steps are visible etc)
Obviously, since we can now save Sequences patches you can put melody or bass lines in your favorite lists in the Reason browser (that´s why it has been requested here by folks).
But what is not so obvious: if you already have existing MIDI notes on the Reason sequencer you can record them into Sequences and save the patch, thus making them available in your favorites as well.
You can even transfer notes from PolyStep to Sequences by stacking them up and record the notes.
Same principle applies if you want to just copy a single pattern from one Sequences player to another (and for the unfearful among us you can also edit the XML Sequences patch file).

Another cool trick you can do now that we have a patch browser is to copy a pattern from one patch to the other:
- Open the "source patch"
- Copy the pattern or note selection you want to transfer
- Open the "destination patch"
- Select the destination pattern
- Paste

By the way, Anders updated the User Guide for 1.1 a few days ago. We uploaded it to the shop, but apparently Propellerhead hasn't had time to review nor approve the updated page, so it's not visible yet.
In the meantime you can download it from our server instead.

Nice, thanks, I was thinking about this the other day after seeing that some "bigger" things came into the last updatebuddard wrote: ↑05 Jul 2019By the way, Anders updated the User Guide for 1.1 a few days ago.

Please consider adding an option for double (or at least 1.5x) height notes. Very often when I want to add or delete a note I'll click the grid cell above or below the one I intended, because they aren't high enough.buddard wrote: ↑05 Jul 2019By the way, Anders updated the User Guide for 1.1 a few days ago.

No pandas were harmed in the making of this Robotic Bean product.
I guess this depends greatly on your display. However, I can imagine a vertical zoom option.antic604 wrote: ↑05 Jul 2019Please consider adding an option for double (or at least 1.5x) height notes.

I'm a bit reluctant to add a zoom option, partly because it means squeezing in zoom controls in an already crowded display, and partly because it would impact a pretty big portion of the display code, which means spending hours that could have been spent adding more lanes instead...
As an alternative, I'm playing around with a smarter click detection algorithm that expands the vertical hit area for notes that don't have notes directly above/below them by about 50%. So you would still see the same view, but hitting notes should be easier.

Something that would help me greatly, which I think would not overcrowd the GUI, is if the tiny little red indicator lights on the eight pattern buttons were easier to read. I have a bit of trouble with red in general, so ideally they would be a bit of a lighter shade, but also they could stand to be about 2-3 times larger to be comfortably legible without dominating the button space. As it is I have to really lean in to even tell which button is lit. Or open up Windows Magnify tool, which literally gives me a headache after a while. (In fairness, Magnify is fine when used sparingly, and was an absolute lifesaver back when I had cataracts.)buddard wrote: ↑07 Jul 2019I'm a bit reluctant to add a zoom option, partly because it means squeezing in zoom controls in an already crowded display, and partly because it would impact a pretty big portion of the display code, which means spending hours that could have been spent adding more lanes instead...

By the way we just released update 1.1.2, which resolves a loop-related sync problem that was found by futurebit.
Also, the product page now has the updated User Guide!

Why new Sequence have not empty default patch?
By request from our beta testers.
And besides, clearing the pattern is just one click away!
Like Matrix? But Matrix cant record notes.

No, it is not possible to successfully provide a remote override for record buttons in REs. You can activate record just fine, but deactivating record and saving the sequence to persistent memory won't work.
Try it with Drum Sequencer: You'll notice that as soon as you turn off Record via Remote, the recorded data is lost. Most likely they added this Remote object by mistake, and can't remove it now due to backwards compatibility.
Having looked at this a bit more I have come to the conclusion that a remote override for the record button is useful.
My reasoning is that you can trigger recording of a loop via the remote override and then manually disable recording with a mouse click, and retain/save the recorded loop. E.g. you can use a midi foot pedal to trigger recording of the loop, capture what you need and save the pattern.
Sure it would be nice to end the recording remotely as well, however, the desired functionality to activate hands free recording and save is available.
I had a slightly different thought. Automate recording along with switching patterns to continuously record eight takes in a row, and then they would be played serially. ))
