v1.11.0

microSAMPLER Editor / Librarian v1.11.0

This release turns the pattern piano roll into a proper editor.
v1.10.0 let you see and play your patterns, and now you can build and reshape them with drawing tools, multi note selection, undo/redo, and copy/paste, all editable from the keyboard.

Pattern editor

Drawing tools

• A tool selector with three modes: Draw, Erase, and Select.
• Draw adds notes and lets you move or resize them, the same as before.
• Erase removes any note you click, and you can drag across the roll to wipe a run of notes in one stroke.
• Select lets you click a note or drag a rectangle to grab several at once.
• The cursor changes to match the active tool,
  so you always know what a click will do.

Selecting and editing

• Select multiple notes, hold Shift or Cmd/Ctrl while clicking to add or remove individual notes.
• Undo and redo every change with Cmd/Ctrl+Z and Cmd/Ctrl+Y.
• Copy and paste notes with Cmd/Ctrl+C and Cmd/Ctrl+V.
  The clipboard stays around between patterns, so you can copy from one pattern and paste into another.
• Select all with Cmd/Ctrl+A, and delete the selection with Delete.
• Nudge the selected note with the arrow keys, and resize it with Shift held.
• Note brightness now reflects velocity, so louder notes read at a glance, and you can still set velocity with the slider or the scroll wheel over a note.

Workflow

• Press Space to play or stop the pattern on the device, from anywhere in the editor, even when a button or the grid selector has focus.
• The Save to Device button now sits in the top right corner.
• Clicking outside the dialog saves your work and closes the editor.
• The header is split into two rows, with the drawing and track tools sitting right above the grid.

Fixes

• Saving a pattern while it was playing could fail with a device error.
  Saving now stops the sequencer first, so it works whether or not playback is running.

Notes

• The docs site has a clearer first run section for macOS, walking through the one time approval an unsigned launcher needs.
• Small docs touches: a back to top button and linkable section headings.
