Thoughts on Jump vs scroll

There’s a few different behaviours.

When nothing is selected:

  • Encoder 1 scrolls by +/- 1 vertically
  • Encoder 2 scrolls by +/- 12 vertically
  • 2ND + Main encoder scrolls through pages horizontally
  • Main encoder scrolls by +/- 8 - think of it as ‘vertical pages’. That way you don’t miss any notes
  • Up/Down arrows scroll by +/- 12 vertically
  • Left/Right arrows scrolls through pages horizontally

When selection is active:

  • Encoder 1 and Main encoder shift the selected notes by +/- 1 semitone AND scrolls +/-1 vertically
  • 2ND + Main encoder is unavailable because 2ND shifts the selection mode
  • Encoder 2 shift the selected notes +/- 12 semitones
  • Up/Down arrows shift the selected notes by +/- 1 semitone but do not scroll in the piano roll
  • Left/Right arrows shit the selected notes by +/- 1 step unit (1/16th note in zoom x1)

It might seem convoluted at first, but it’s flexible enough that you get to work out which workflow corks best for you.
