16.04
Improved Sequencer functionality. The Run control has now been expanded to STOP | PAUSE | RUN. When set to PAUSE the sequencer will halt but not reset the sequence count. The Step control allows manually stepping the sequencer when the sequencer is paused or running.
I appreciate this added functionality! Unfortunately several of my (Axe-unique!) Sequencer-based presets prior to 16.04 that don't work any more since 16.04. This appears to be due to two separate issues:
- ON state (pre-16.04) not being mapped to RUN but rather to PAUSE. [@yek has noticed this as well]
- RUN | PAUSE | STOP precluding previously allowed ON <-> OFF state changes. Thus RUN <-> STOP is not possible. This means I can't use a continuous modifier like an Envelope Follower to stop and restart the sequencer.
Issue 1 seems like a minor preset translator bug.
For issue 2, I don't know how to go between RUN <-> STOP as PAUSE is in between them. Perhaps someone has a work-around suggestion?
A couple design change ideas that could rectify the incompatibilty from pre to post 16.04:
- Add another 'run' state after the STOP state: RUN | PAUSE | STOP | START. This would be the most backward compatible.
- Reorder the states: STOP | RUN | PAUSE. This would be allow STOP <-> RUN and RUN <-> PAUSE switching possibilities.
