Feature request: unquantized recording

[jsmonzani]

Although it changes how things are stored, unquantized recording with reversible playback quantization is very desirable for a more "human" and natural performance. An implementation has been done by: https://github.com/keremimo/melodee/releases/tag/v0.12

Thanks! This is on my list as #98: keeping the timing of what you play, with quantize on playback, so you can choose. It changes how patterns are stored, so it has to come in a version that changes the format, with older patterns playing exactly as before.

This is in Felucca 1.4: https://github.com/hugelton/Felucca/releases/tag/v1.4

Live recording now keeps when you played each note, as the step's NUDGE (in 1/16 of a step, from half a step early to 7/16 late). Each track has a QUANTIZE setting, the second row of SEQ > AUTOMATION: ON (the default) plays everything on the grid as before, OFF plays your timing. So you can record loosely and choose later, per track. Nudges can also be set by hand: the NUDGE rows on AUTOMATION, or hold a step on STEP and turn PRESETS.

It needed a new project format, so projects saved with 1.4 don't open on 1.1.5.x. Thanks @jsmonzani! I'll close this one.

Thank you so much for your work! I am very grateful for what you've added ❤️🙇Unquantized (nudged) steps is a huge improvement to keep the groove!

My hoping was actually a per note nudge that would work with polyphony, like when you strum a chord on the piano (rather than pressing all keys in one movement). From my tests, the "nudge step" approach works well if you strum a chord slowly. If you do it fast, its notes will most likely fall all on the same step, and they will end up being "glued" together. With a "nudge note" approach, each individual note would have its own timing and will faithfully respect the performance - but I understand it would involve a radically different approach to store the sequence.

Once again, I'm very grateful for what you have done. I just wanted to better explain my vision, not asking for more work. Thank you! ❤️
