Hi,
It’s been almost two years now since I last did some serious work on Remanola, but over the last month I have returned to the project, and I made some big improvements, so it is now time to release version 1.0 of Remanola. There are lots of changes, both how the launchpad mappings look and how to interact with them. I also did a lot of improvements under the hood making it easier to add new Reason devices and updating the mappings for the current ones.
Since I have started using aftertouch and velocity a lot more, I unfortunately had to drop support for the launchpad mini. It was just too much work to keep supporting both devices. If you want to use the Launchpad Mini you have to use version 0.11.1 of Remanola.
Change of mappings:
* All devices from Reason 11 have been added.
* A number of new Rack Extensions have been added as well.
* Lots of pages on lots of devices have been remapped
** Better match to the Reason UI
** Improved templating for devices with more than one of a specific component, for example multiple oscillators, filters, lfos or filters.
** Changed menu colouring to make it more clearer
** The confmap system has been completely rewritten so that colour, defaultvalue and map information is written as comments in the remotemap files instead of in separate files. This makes defining and changing attributes of an item a lot clearer and simpler.
I have also reworked a number of the items used to build up the Remanola interface:
Faders:
* Velocity/Aftertouch sensitivity
** Press and hold a button to slowly go to that value on the fader, the harder you press the faster it goes!
** Max or near max velocity goes directly to the pressed value.
* Sliding, you can slide your finger up and down the fader to set the value
* Push top and bottom button at the same time to reset to default value, The default value is the same as the default defined in Reason, does the same thing as doing cmd-click on a control in the reason interface
Mini faders:
* Used for controlling the same type of controls as faders but when there is limited space on a Remanola page.
* Velocity/Aftertouch sensitivity
** Works the same way as with faders but since there are only two buttons the target value is either max for the top button and min for the bottom button.
* Reset to default
** Works the same way as faders
* Push top an bottom button at the same time to reset to default value
Up/Down buttons:
* Repeat
** Pressing and holding an up/down button will cause it to do key repeats on the control.
** After holding the button for ~0.5s it will start repeating.
** After ~2.5s the repeat rate will increase.
