Yes confirmed, turning select-encoder clockwise direction lets the selection move to the left.
And always after booting, the midi clock is switched off again.
Heelo thereā¦
On Reaper, the keyboard looks like a piano keyboardā¦
Yes, the āblack keysā row touches the white keys and passes beneath, but thatās not disturbingā¦
To me, itās easier, to find each note, than an alternace of 2 black rows, 3 black rows, 2 black crows, 3 black rosesā¦
"But, you will say, on Caustic, itās an alternance of 2 and 3 black rows, and it never disturbed you "ā¦
Thatās rightā¦ Maybe because there are not so manyā¦ Or maybe because we very soon get used to themā¦
But better than deciding once ofrever, what about a setting page where the user could decide ? Piano keyboard style, or black and white rowsā¦
This is what it would look likeā¦
Have a nice evening you allā¦
What with the wyleu perpetual player piano demands, we are already into the territory of about 4 or 5 admin page items.
To sort all cases youād need to be able to move the keyboard to face the west in your examples, which would involve the reversing of the grid layout, with lowest note of the virtual pianists keyboard to the left.
It could certainly be done. The skill is writing up the github feature request

To me, reversing the keyboard (if that is what @wyleu meant) seems unlogicalā¦
High notes would be low, and low notes would be highā¦
āThe first will be the lastā¦ā
I also thought about placing the keyboard on the right end of the screen and then it would need no reversing, but that doesnāt look nice, to meā¦
@le51 My encoders donāt go left and right, they go clockwise and anticlockwise 
(And that is anticlockwise not counter-clockwise because they live in England!) Have you tried turning your screen upside down? 
I will fix it in the next update. I am doing some reworking of the code so it may be a little while, maybe hours!!!
Regarding pad triggers, they are really not at all usable. I am working on them at the moment but please donāt bother with them for now. I hope to provide something worth playing with within the next few days.
@opus.quatre I have added P36 to the requirements list but I need to concentrate on core functionality so this cosmetic change which will take some time will have to wait a while. I have added horizontal lines at āCā octave intervals.
@spurkopf I can confirm MIDI clock is disabled. @jofemodo will you please look at that?
@jofemodo I know the parameter editor needs attention. I am about to look at that. I know what I need to do but just have been putting it off because it needs an empty head to fill with the logic and my head is too full. I need to purge it.

I totally understand and approve the fact that cosmetics are not a priorityā¦ of courseā¦
Wesh wesh 
Also made with zynthian + stepseq
Never get bothered

Rotation to translation ā¦

Rotation is relative. I had a fruitless conversation with a school teacher who had told us the earth rotates anticlockwise. She couldnāt grasp the concept of looking at the earth from the south pole rather than the north pole. She eventually moved on when I held up my hand, rotated it and asked her which way it was rotating then told her that it was magically rotating the opposite direction for me!!!

The lesson that your teacher may not understand something and have a concept wrong is probably one of the most useful things you can learn.

translation is the correct term, it just has several meanings in English.
I swear I typed ātranslationāā¦ itās my cellphone who replaced my wordā¦
He always doesā¦
I have a couple of posters with promises of samples but as yet nothing, that you could throw off the zynthian towers battlements if it would help . . .
Update:
- Reverse direction of step encoder
- Fixes issue with duplicate menu entries
- Adds horizontal tramlines at octave boundary
- Fixes parameters being reset when opening parameter editor, e.g. tempo
[Edit] - @jofemodo fixed MIDI clock getting disabled
There is some other work in there which will change things like the pads but still work in progress. I managed to update and overwrite a load of work - grrrr! Tip: Donāt use Zynthian update mechanism whilst working on code - it overwrites the code! (Luckily I am using Notepad++ FTP plugin so could recover some files from my laptopās cache.)
@jofemodo This probably meets your requirements to merge to master, unless you find more issues!!! 
Remember this is still alpha and much functionality is missing, flawed and / or likely to change.

Hi @riban!
What about jitter? Could you check if itās solved?
BTW, i was jamming a little bit, using MIDI filter rules to get 2 layers sequenced:

Makeshift multitrack sequencing! Very clever! I applaud!

Ups! Itās really near 
ā¦ but now when you get out the stepsequencer screen, transport stops. It should continue to play until user stop it.
Regards,
And we need an overall stop/start button in or near status to allow the zynthian midi play infrastructure to be started and stopped whilst in any other screen. A sequence will, presumably, be started and stopped whilst someone wants to play with parameters, they would probably want to start from that screen . . .
Donāt we have a long push on NE (LS) mapped to move into step sequencer? Thatās a good thing, but we have no remaining short keypresses to take us back to the parameter page after a sequence tweak, Aaaah !! Long press on the NE(LS) takes you back. VERY NICE!
So in fact the NE(LS) encoder can do all that for you.
1/ Long Press NE (LS) to get into sequencer
2/ Short Press NE(LS) to start Sequence
3/ LONG Press NE(LS) to go back to parameter page . . .
Itās almost the equivalent of the layer list shuffle but for sequence components.
The sequence press matrix . . . ( A table 
)
| Encoder | Compass | Short Press | Bold Press | Long Press | Encoder Function |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LS | NE | Toggle Sequence Play | ā | Alsa Mixer | Sequence Menu |
| SELECT | SE | Toggle Note | ā | Power On/Off | Time Axis |
| BACK | SW | Back to Zynth Main | ā | ā | Note Axis |
| CH | NW | Seq Menu | ā | Back to Zynth Selected pageā¦ | Velocity |
Hold on a minute somebody has done magic ā¦? 
The long press on NE ( LS) in normal parameter modes kicks across to step sequence after the long press time, you donāt have to let goā¦ Now that feels Sooo much better . .
ā Wasnāt that meant to be hard ā¦?

Difficult we can do. . The impossible may take a little longer.
