Features that have a good chance of being implemented in the future, and Firmware updates.
Topics ar marked as: [A]=Approved, [WIP]=Work in Progress, [F]=Finished
As I was involved in the original thread (link posted above), I think I've said all I wish to on this important potential additional feature.
One thing I'd like to reiterate though is that you'll probably need 2 settings, one for the percentage and the other to switch between 16th-note and 8th-note swing/shuffle.
As for implementation, pressing and holding one or two buttons whilst using the main knob to dial in the percentage seems most logical to my mind.
So, given your most recent communication regarding new features, can I assume that swing/shuffle functionality isn't going to happen anytime soon?
If so, I need to find an alternative solution and ditch my Midronome... which would be a huge shame
You're correct, I do not think Swing will make it to the device. Nothing is written in stone yet (except Firmware 2.0), but my idea for the future features from https://survey.midronome.com/ is:
Firmware 2.0 - implement Sync to Any Pulse and MIDI Data Forwarding
Firmware 3.0 - implement Tempo presets and Analog Start Signal
For the negative offset and swing, create add-on modules
(I imagine for swing a simple module with f.x. 2 MIDI outputs and 2 knobs to control the swing - same idea for the negative offset)
Make a general Arduino add-on module with a simple Midronome library so that people can easily implement whatever else they need
(not necessarily in that order)
You sound particularly invested in the swing so if you want I'll make sure to send you a swing module as soon as there is a beta version
I appreciate all your efforts Simon and would be interested in beta testing the Swing module if/when you manage to develop it.
However, in the meantime, I'm going to have to find an alternative solution (MidiGal perhaps? Nowhere near as accurate a clock but has the functionality I need).
