Go back to ZynSeq pad view.
Now in my case the Pad I’ve viewed in Pattern Editor lights up on the APC where normally the mixpad-view is. I am still in device-mode, and I cant remember this happening before. Adittionally the four green Soft Keys corresponding to Encoder-Press aren’t lit up anymore but they keep on functioning.
Just trying to reproduce to get the issue into the system but that doesn’t seem to be that easy tonight I will try for a bit, but maybe it was just a strange occurrence…
No, i cannot reproduce it. And just read the post of @jofemodo underneath while editing…I wish I had saved the snapshot from yesterday but I already deleted it
I was trying to get into the same situation from yesterday, but I couldn’t get the bug show up again.
Reporting issues is very good because you help developers to improve the software. We really love to receive reports of issues, specially if the report is properly done and include all the needed context details and steps to reproduce the issue, etc.
In the other hand, to avoid generating noise and wasting time in reading/thinking/answering reports about “strange occurrences”, it’s always good practice to try reproducing an issue “from scratch” before reporting it. When reporting a new issue, it’s very important to include all the details (each time you report!): software version, hardware setup, MIDI controllers, etc. If you can capture the issue inside a snapshot, this is fantastic for us.
When you report a new issue, don’t assume developers remember something about your setup / use-case from previous conversations. Perhaps you think it’s redundant, because you know well what is your setup, but developers can’t remember the setup for each user.
Ahhh! And every detail is important for us. Devil is in the little details …
Okay it happened again, and I managed to save a snapshot and take photos:
I was trying some stuff from the driver’s User-Guide just to learn more about the driver’s modes and workflows.
And after some time I had the same case as I described in my post above, but I want to try to give a bit more detail:
I was trying to enter some patterns with the Step Sequencer mode and reading along with the Guide. I cannot really tell what exactly, but I guess normal usage…
I changed to Device-Mode, when I was in the Sequencer’s ZynPad-view where you see all the Pads.
I entered the Pattern Editor of one of the Pads, in this case the top of the second column from the left (the one you also can see in the first picture below). I was navigating there with the courser buttons and bold-pressed the the lowest Soft Key corresponding to encoder press on ‘select’.
Now the selected Pad was highlit on the APC where the Pad would be located in Mixpad mode
It would certainly be possible. The major problem is it’s a little hard to develop without the kit in hand, so it’s probably best attempted as modifications of an existing code base by someone who has the piece of kit.
There is a fairly detailed breakdown,assuming no prior knowledge, of the process of actually getting to a position where you can start to code here…
Even if you don’t actually progress the code base having an understanding of quite how the magic is and can be performed is enlightening for everyone. . .
You also get less rook soup doing this so that’s got to be an advantage. . . .
