Wieder auf englisch, wie im anderen thread:
To include a full blown controller functionality (programmable, customizable etc) is at this point unfortunately impossible.
Please consider using a cheap dedicated Midi Controller for this and hooking it up somehow with the Zaquencer´s Midi through capability.

What´s already possible now are the 2 Midi controls Alpha & Beta (can be CC, Aftertouch, Program change, Pitch bend – set in the global menu). If you don´t use them for sequenced Midi Control Changes, you can set them all to the same value and then hold the button to affect all steps at once. This way you have two live tweakable Midi controls for every track!

This is noted for future development.
Can´t say if it´ll be possible, because it would take up quite a lot of Flash memory as it would be a per-step setting and the Flash is already maxed out. But maybe I´ll get an idea.

Hi Citric,
bitte lieber wieder auf englisch, damit alle etwas davon haben!

Note name instead of values is already implemented!
You can switch the note display in the global menu. That has two settings for the LED ring (octave/all) and two settings for the LCD (note name/value). A setting is always a combination of those two, so you have 4 possible settings (I was running out of encoders for the global menu ;))

Email with the firmware sent. Will look into the download problem as well.

EDIT: For anyone else running into this problem, in the meantime please try Google Chrome which is reported to work fine with the downloads.

Thanks for the detailed description of the bug (especially with the follow-up post)!
I was able to reproduce it immediately and it goes on the to-do list for V1.01.

Cheers!

Thank you so much for the kind words!
I have been very excited about this project during the whole development phase and I am very happy to see that this excitement translates to you as the users as well!!

Hi guys,
thanks for the suggestion!
Actually the version that you suggest is the one we had at the very beginning.
This then felt not right anymore out of two reasons. First, there is the activity monitor of the track which is now blinking “on” when a note is played. When you imagine an always lit LED for an active track then we would have to blink “off” for activity (a note playing). This felt really off to us. And secondly, try to extrapolate this behaviour in your mind to the 16 drum instruments in mixer mode and it gets really apparent. In our minds, they have to have the same behaviour as the track buttons, and they need to flash “on” with a drum hit and not “off” from the always-on-state.

Try to think of the mixer buttons as “mute” buttons from a classic mixing board (that also lights up when the track is muted) and it will get second nature to you in no time!

Cheers!
