Hi all,
Just an update on the current git status:
Audio I/O needs still to be tested some more, specially in regard to rendering
when tracks output to (virtual) hardware channels. What is Traverso supposed
to do with Tracks outputting to something that isn't a Subgroup?
(currently it crashes ahem)
When Jack is loaded as a driver, newly created tracks are configured so that
depending on the chosen option mono/stereo in the dialog they have an in/out
bus with 1 or 2 'jack ports' which show up in the patchbay.
To make this work, each Track in Traverso needs to have a unique name, since
the jack ports will be named the same, and need to be unique.
Should Traverso always force to have newly created tracks to have a unique
name? A user suggested that if there are multiple sheets, the same track name
can be used, appended with the sheet number (or name).
Soft selection in Traverso has been extended. Not only the mouse can 'soft
select' objects, but you can now browse by arrow keys from/to tracks and clips
(has some erratic behaviour, needs investigation) or using the track finder
(using < K > )
The active object will highlight (including Tracks, they didn't before)
It'll be extended in the future, it's currently a proof of concept.
Hold modifier keys like: [ D ] + < arrow key > now has a keymap configurable
autorepeat interval and autorepeat start delay, defaulting to sane values I
hope :)
jack transport behaves more nicely: moving the play cursor does update the
transport location even if transport doesn't roll, it didn't before. (so the
playback cursor does jump to the right location)
fixed a loooooong standing bug that affected the fade in/out: the range wasn't
applied always, resulting in sound drops, or no fade applied at all.
Zoom feature is extended:
[ Z ] + < E > : toggle expand/collapse all tracks
[ Z ] + < up/down arrow > on a track: resize track vertically
[ Z ] + < Numerical input range 0,1,2,....9 > resize to a fixed size 0 is
smalles, 9 is largest.
It's possible to move tracks up/down now too, using [ D ] on a track, also [ D
] + < up/down arrow >
And a bunch of other related improvements I forgot about.
When I get inspiration I'll try to give the audio i/o a thorough look again,
meanwhile it's all about bug fixing, polishing the current feature set, with
focus on polishing the navigation features (using the keyboard only), and
basically fixing everything that shows up, so a new release can be made within
a reasonable time frame.... Yes, I know, I said that 3 months ago too :)
I hope this will satisfy most users, Traverso now can be used by mouse only
(to a degree), by mouse + keyboard or by keyboard only and use a 'hardware
only' driver, or use Traverso in a jack setup as it was meant to be.
Best wishes,
Remon
