microSAMPLER Editor / Librarian v1.14.0

This release adds playheads to pattern playback and gives the whole interface a polish pass for clarity, feedback and legibility.

Playheads for patterns

  • The pattern editor preview now shows a playhead sweeping across the piano roll while it plays, the same way the sample waveform does.
  • Each pattern card gets a playhead sweeping its mini piano-roll while that pattern plays on the device.
  • Both loop along with the device and clear when you stop.

Interface polish

  • Recorded patterns stand out:
    • Empty pattern slots now recede so the patterns that actually have notes are easy to spot at a glance (they come back to full strength on hover).
  • See what the hardware knobs control:
    • On the Effect page, the two parameters mapped to the device's FX EDIT 1 / 2 knobs are now badged and ringed, so the physical-knob targets are obvious.
    • The effect panel also no longer leaves a large empty area below its parameters.
  • More tactile:
    • Pads and pattern cards lift slightly on hover, and editable spots (the bank display, the sample's BPM) now look editable at rest rather than only on hover.
  • Easier to read:
    • Muted labels throughout were lifted for better contrast.
  • Smoother:
    • Switching between views now has a gentle transition (respecting reduced-motion settings).
  • Clearer first run:
    • Empty views show a centered prompt telling you what to do next, and the top bar wraps gracefully on narrow windows instead of hiding its controls.
