A Couple Suggestions
Hey,
Love how the app is so far. Quite happy that MIDI support has been added. Just have a couple suggestions. It would be great if there was a "hold" function in the arpeggiator section. Also, it would great if the screen could rotate to a horizontal orientation for phones to allow more keys.
Thanks

Hey Hanna,
Yes, exactly. It would be great to be able to have an option, either turning the phone or pressing a button where you would only see the keys horizontally. Hopefully it possible to then get two octaves rather than just one. Also, yes hold or latch a set of keys for an arpeggiator before going on to the next. -
Good suggestion, Chris. I would also like to make a couple suggestions. The way it is now, I must export a R10 document from Compact on my iPhone to my laptop with R10 and the document opens as a Full patched setup with Dual Arp and Scales players along with Europa in its own mixer container. The problem is that if I wish to compose an ADDITIONAL 8-bar motif/phrase for the SAME song using Compact then there is no easy way to integrate this new R.Compact document with the existing song (project) of the same name. Currently I am exporting an R10 doc from Compact to my laptop with R10. I open this doc in R10 and everything is good. I then click the "Send to Track" button on Dual Arp player to send to MIDI data to the Sequencer for the Europa Compact piano roll notes with the Arpeggio midi so that I get exactly the MIDI generated by Reason Compact while composing in my phone. THEN in order to build on my existing 'project' I have to get the next 8 bars I created in Compact over to the laptop with R10 and open a completely new R10 doc and then DRAG IN that MIDI clip in order to get everything together. So I hope you guys are brainstorming some better ways to ADD to an existing Compact project started inside Compact but then MOVED to R10 for further editing. As it is, it is a bit of a hassle to do the MIDI export everytime and then have to drag this next 8-bar MIDI clip into the existing project started from Compact. In other words I am looking for better more streamlined integration with actually making music using Compact by getting successive edits into the same R10 project document. I hope that made sense.
Another suggestion, I would like to be able to MODULATE PITCH, BEAT SYNC the Envelopes 1 and 2 and have BIPOLAR modulation available inside Europa Compact.
One final suggestion, to be able to hear a clip of the sound packs before buying them, and to know how many sounds are in each pack
Thanks!. -
One thing regarding 3D-touch to latch a key on the piano roll. I highly advise against that method because 3D-touch would be triggered accidentally by someone simply holding the keys for chords,, etc. The LATCH function should rather be implemented as an actual button on-screen to avoid this. So in essence perhaps when turning the phone sideways there is a small part above the piano roll which shows 1) a white line indicating place in the loop 2) a button "KEY LATCH" 3) the slider (like on the vertical screen mode) to change the key range of the piano roll.
