2 Atom Piano Roll 2 questions (drag note ruler & pattern sequence)

cfour

Hello!

I have two questions for Atom Piano Roll 2 I have not found an answer to.

1) Is it possible to drag the note ruler of Atom2 wherever we want? I now we have the fit option, but I think being able to drag that ruler where we want has some advantages. I find this particularly important when using the "layers" option. If I am trying to look at the notes that I played in another instance of Atom2 (for instance in AUM) with "layers" it is a problem, as the window by default shows the note ruler going from C4 to C5. I can enlarge the window, but still that gets me so far (e.g. up to C2 but not lower, and I do not think is an ideal solution having to enlarge windows to be able to see the notes we played). On the other hand the "fit" option only works for notes that were played on the active window, if nothing has been yet recorded it will not show the notes from other layers. This is a pity because it would be useful to see the notes from other layers and record using that as a guide. Plus, even when I have in fact recorded some notes on that active window, "fit" shows the notes on that window only, not the notes from other layers unless those fall in the same pitch range.

2) Is it possible to trigger patterns sequentially? Even better would be to be able to decide how many times a pattern should loop before going to the next pattern

Thanks!

Thanks! To be honest I thought that had to be asked by someone before
On the other hand I find it more urgent to be able to drag the note ruler where I want to

You can scroll the note area with two-finger drag (the standard iOS scroll gesture) to see whatever portion of the sequence you like.

Currently, patterns aren't switchable during playback. The dev is considering a change to that paradigm.

Oh!!!! I was doing the two finger thing on the ruler, not on the actual sequence (and nothing was happening). OK this was embarrassing
Yeah, it works fine... 😳

thanks!
