Package of Ideas

Ideas:

FX:
Would it be too much to ask for a FlexBeat? A second page inside QuickMenuFX (or its own page within FX) with 16 patterns running at 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, etc., with a Quantize ON/OFF option (which would also be very welcome in QuickMenuFX, so effects can be triggered in time).

QuickMenuFX:
The sharps on the right side that currently have no function could be used to select which channel the effects are applied to.
The Crush and Throw knobs could be replaced with effect attack and release times, and those settings should stay saved instead of resetting every time you leave the tab.
The buttons could alternate between a lighter and a darker color so they're easier to tell apart, just like the notes in the piano roll. The same goes for the pulsing keys below, since I often have to count each note to figure out which effect I need, haha.

SAVE:
Page 1/4 PRESETS would work better as the first option, to make it easier to find engines. Whenever I leave and come back to select a new engine, it opens straight to page 2/4 USER.

SEQUENCER:
Is it possible to add a velocity control to adjust the loudness of each note, and also of the individual drum kit sounds? The control could be a FLAG after the ACC, SLD, A+S+ options (with a 0-127 velocity range).
Would it be possible to extend a note/chord just by holding it down and turning STEP? That would help a lot, since right now it's only possible when playing live with REC, or by going step by step and changing TIME to TIE.

SONG:
Add the option to play channels, so we can build up a song progressively. The idea would be: PRESETS = Row; K1 = Pat; K2 = Channel number; K3 = Reps; K4 = Add. Ex:
Row 1. A CHN:(1) x2
Row 2. A CHN:(1) x1; CHN:(2) x2

In other words, on row 1, CHN 1 would play twice. On row 2, CHN 1 and 2 would play together once, and then only CHN 2 would play once, and so on.

AUTO:
It would be interesting to be able to automate the on/off buttons the same way as the knobs, for example the QuickMenuFX buttons and the MUTE option in the MIXER too! (The same would go for the FlexBeat patterns if it's ever added ♥)

AUTO LIST:
When more than one effect is used at the same time, they start interleaving in the list, which makes it hard to find things. If possible, add each effect to its own subfolder, so everyone has better control over each automation.

CHANCE/RATCH:
Chance has been a pretty neglected function (for me, at least). If it's heavy on resources, it may be worth considering removing it. On the other hand, RATCH is very useful. My suggestion would be to put it on SELECT, with a locked BPM option on page 1 of SEQ. (Changing BPM by holding GLOBE would be ideal for me, since it's not something we change much during a project.)

LFO:
Would it be worth having an OFF option when the RATE is turned all the way down?

DRUM KIT:
In the future, will we be able to import our own drum kits through the WebApp? Or will it stay limited to Sample and Slice?

Sorry for the huge list, but I've been taking notes over the past few days while testing. I was also waiting to see whether what I'm asking for would be added in future updates anyway. Please feel free to ignore anything you find unnecessary or unfeasible. Thanks once again for your impeccable work. And by the way, the knob reading feels amazing in update 1.1.5 ♥

(Flexbeat Idea) Edit: After posting, I realized that FlexBeat would be like Slicer 2.0 lol.

Thanks for the list! Felucca 1.4 is out: https://github.com/hugelton/Felucca/releases/tag/v1.4

Your SONG idea is in: a song is now a list of sections, and each section sets the slot (A–D) for every track separately, or "-" to leave a track out. So you can build a song up channel by channel (row 1: only track 1 on A; row 2: tracks 1 and 2 ...). It's on GLO > SONG, drawn as a timeline with a lane per track.

Some of the rest moved a bit too: the FX layer has FLANGER and PHASER and any white key can hold any effect now, and BPM is on HOME > CLOCK (with BPM LOCK, SELECT leaves the tempo alone). Velocity per step, holding a note and turning STEP to lengthen it, automating the FX keys and mutes, and your own drum kits are noted. I'll keep this open. Thanks @oMauNaProducer!

1.5 is out: https://github.com/hugelton/Felucca/releases/tag/v1.5

A few more from your list are in:

• SAVE now goes USER, PRESETS, PHRASES, PROJECT, TOOLS, so the engines are two taps of SAVE away.
• The FX layer's map alternates light and dark columns, like the piano roll. The key LEDs are the same as before.
• A note's length: on SEQ > STEP, KNOB 3 on a note step is its LEN and writes the TIEs for you (not holding the note and turning STEP, but the same result).
• Velocity per step: SEQ > AUTOMATION, + ADD VEL, then OCT+ shows a VEL row for every note step and KNOB 4 sets it (1–127). On a drum track it's one velocity per step for all its hits, not one per drum sound.

Automating the FX keys and mutes, and your own drum kits, aren't in this one. I'll keep this open. Thanks @oMauNaProducer!

Oh my god, I’m speechless! You’re the best human being to show up for the community this year. Thank you for giving so much of your time and effort. We know everyone has their priorities, and yet you keep updating the code and paying attention to us. Thank you so much once again, Leo ♥ I’ll keep testing and taking notes. You’re the best!
