Hi all, I had written the original *User Manual* more than 3 years ago. Now I have updated the manual to cover the latest features and changes. But there are still some gaps, and I need some information quickly to finish the manual. Can someone help me? I need a quick chat on IRC, Google Hang Out, skype and WhatsApp. My time zone is *India *(UTC+05:30). Thanks in advance. Regards, Narayan |

Hi Thanks for the prompt response, and appreciation, Raine! You made a good suggestion. I am unable to connect to the IRC channel right now. So I am sharing my list here. I hope that the other users and developers will be able to throw some light. 1. Both song/BB editor have a "Record" button. How do they differ from each other? 2. What does "Project > Save As New Version" menu do? Is it relevant now, even after 3 years? 3. In the Instrument window, MIDI tab, "Enable MIDI" section: What does the "Note" control do? 4. What are the practical uses of the *File > Export tracks...* command (CTRL+SHFT+E)? 5. The table for LB302 plugin: What do the following parameters do to sound distortion: slide, accent, dead. 6. Patman plugin: What's "Tune mode"? 7. VeSTige plugin: What do the following controls do? 1. Control VST from LMMS Host 2. Turn off all notes 8. ZynAddSubFX plugin: Forward MIDI control changes -> what does it do? 9. Do the NUMPAD buttons + and - really work in BB Editor?? 10. BB Editor track's context menu: Is the Freeze/unfreeze feature removed now? 11. Earlier, one step at a time could be added to the BB Editor timeline. Since the timeline is always a whole multiple of a measure, some blank space was left at the end of the timeline. But the new design adds multiple steps to fill up the space, leaving no blank space. Is that correct? 12. The entire Bassline-related behavior seems to have changed. Earlier, it was possible to insert a note of any length. Now LMMS allows only a small note that is shorter than 1/32th of a measure. 13. Earlier, when we inserted a bassline in a BB Editor track, the track used to show the pattern like Song Editor's mlody track. But now it only displays steps. 14. When we add a bassline note in the nth step in Song Editor, that step is supposed to light up in the BB Editor. But practically this does not happen: As we go on inserting bassline notes in progressive steps, the BB Editor toggles random steps on/off. If some description is not clear, I can share a small video. Please let me know... Regards, Narayan On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 2:33 PM, Raine M.

It adds a number to the filename and saves the project under the new name. Next time, it increments the number. So you end up with project.mmpz, project-01.mmpz, project-02.mmpz and so on. > 3.

If you want to control a drum machine or something like that you could have all your B&B-tracks go out on the same channel using different notes. > 4.

It exports separate tracks for each instrument in the song editor and B&B-editor, e.g. for mixing in some other software. > 9. Do the NUMPAD buttons + and - really work in BB Editor??

Now you can add steps to the whole pattern at once, before you had to add them separately for each track. But it sure looks like you always add/remove one bar at a time now. > 12.

I'm not sure what you think has changed in these two, but right-click on the track and "open in piano-roll", edit and you have a piano-roll pattern. AFAIR, it used to work like this in 0.4 too? -- ra...@ik... softrabbit on #lmms |
