Parameter locks / step automation

[gospodindilly-ops]

One feature I’d really love to see is parameter locks / step automation.

Being able to store parameter changes per step would make the sequencer much more powerful — filter, pitch, FX, modulation, etc.

Since Felucca already has motion recording/automation, it feels like this could fit very naturally into the existing system.

And just a little note from my side: the firmware is already really great, and I’d genuinely love to help make it even better.

I’m not a coder, unfortunately, so I can’t really contribute on the programming side, but I have a lot of experience using different hardware synths, grooveboxes, sequencers and other musical gear. I’d be very happy to contribute ideas, test features, give feedback, and help from the user/performer side.

Really appreciate all the work that’s going into Felucca!

Thanks for the detailed ideas, and for the offer to test, that's very welcome! MOTION already stores values per step, so parameter locks (hold a step, turn a knob) are the natural next step. They're planned for 1.1. Keeping this open.

Parameter locks are in Felucca 1.1.5: https://github.com/hugelton/Felucca/releases/tag/v1.1.5

On SEQ > STEP (or the drum grid), hold a step and turn KNOB 1–4: those parameters take that value on that step only (the four on the sound page you looked at last: the filter, the envelope and so on). EDIT with the step held clears its locks. The new SEQ > AUTO LIST page shows a track's locks and automation as a list, where you can move them to another step, change the parameter or the value, turn a lock into automation, or add one. SAVE held undoes lock edits.

Thanks for asking for it (and for #53) @gospodindilly-ops! Locks share the 64 automation records of the four tracks for now; more room is on my list. I'll close this one, feedback is very welcome.
