I encountered a few bugs (windows 10).
Thank you for taking the time to write those down!. I'll carry them over to my work plan in github - a few of these are already fixed and will be in the next upcoming version, which is a bit of a bigger update as I started to work on the "lists" feature, which allows you do create lists of patches (also from multiple synths) and use drag and drop to quickly sort interesting patches that go well together for potential use in a song. This got me a bit sidetracked, with summer and all going on.
A few of these might be harded to fix as I am relying on the JUCE C++ library, and that might have a few problems with multi-screen setups :-(
On a 2-screen setup, if the window is moved to screen two then the two or three leftmost buttons (import from synth) become non-responsive, they don’t change shade on mouse-over as they usually do.
Noted. Might be hard to fix.
When importing banks, the list of imports doesn’t update until you reboot the program.
That'll be fixed with the next release!
If I import a single bank and then save it as a SysEx file, it defaults to bank 1, rather than preserving the bank number from which it was taken.
Good point! This could be synth adaptation specific, and I would expect it to keep it the original place as long as it isn't changed. This is for the Prophet 5 I presume?
Had a few visual problems with drop-down menu items being squashed.
A screenshot could help, or the specification of your resolution. The JUCE library again is struggling with multi-resolution setups, as am I :-)
Some suggestions for feature improvements:
Would be good if it were possible to drag and drop patches within the window so that they could be easily written back to the synth in a new location.
Would be nice to control-click to select two patches to compare, rather than having two click two in succession (it is easy to forget which patch was clicked first if some time has passed).
Numbers on the tiles would help (corresponding to the Prophet’s own numbering of 5x8 would be good). This is especially the case of one has imported a bank and all patches are labelled “basic program” - it’s hard to use the compare tool in those instances.
Adding functions for “swap”, “overwrite”, “erase” and “copy” for the tiles would be a welcome addition.
Being able to write back to the synth directly in the app would be great.
Would be nice to be able to set a custom tile layout per page. That way users could arrange in an 8x5 grid per page to match up with the way the Prophet works.
Very good! I will sort these functions into my lists - the next big update after the lists will be (I hope) the bank management feature, with banks being special types of lists that can be written back to the synth.
