#11 Some features I remember from muscle memory

What would you like LYNX to do?

Hello, I'm sorry I can't be more specific right now, I'm deep into other projects so I can't spend much time on this, I just wanted to leave some impressions/observations I had/made. I used to spend a lot of time in fl studio, so I still have some 'reflexes' - I guess - about where I would expect/like some features to be. Thanks for working on this amazing project!! Much much love to your effort!

So here are my observations:

• In the piano roll view, it used to be that, if one presses the keys more to the left it would play it with lower velocity and if one plays it on the far right it would be of max velocity. That way one could be more precise when not plugged to a mini keyboard.
• next I'm sure that when adding a node to the pattern sequencer (at least while it is playing) it would not make any sounds.
• drag and drop samples into pattern sequencer, seems to not be possible yet
• shortcuts like p, m, ... for pattern, mixer for quick navigation seems to be missing too.
• fruity waveshaper looks correct but I cannot change the shape with my mouse
• there is the possibility to make the patterns 1,2,4,8,16 bars, but I think in FL this is also possible by some sequence buttons that are transparent and ignored unless one clicks it and adds a note - that way one can ad them quicker.
• some more shortcuts I remember are: after right click on a effect, pressing 'Delete' on the keyboard would delete the plugin
• maybe a bit niche, but super nice for powerusers: one could rename plugins (effect and generators). So one could append a 1_ or 2_ or 3_ to it. That way when one clicks on a slot on the mixer channel and just press '1' or '2' and one would get this plugin - people usually assign this with their most frequently used plugins, usually eq, compression/limiter, reverb.

Sorry for this extremely sloppy Issue - I hope that next time I come around there are 20 more people supporting your project, b/c it definitely deserves it :D Thanks for the good stuff. Looking forward to contribute some more if I find the time.

I'm on linux fedora 44 and installed via "LYNX-0.1.18-alpha-linux-x86_64.tar.gz"

Why does it matter to you?

• also I remember that in the playlist view with the right click one could remove elements from it which works, but I also remember that double right click and hold on the second would not remove it but mute it (this was also useful on some occasions).
• and when I click a sound on the browser to preview it, I cannot stop it. I think in fl there is either a button or just pressing the main stop button from the bar above stops it as well. Neither is an option for me here.

• ah and automation editing also seems to not work for me (maybe for the same reason why waveshaper does not allow me to set points and move them (piano roll and everything else works though, so it's not the mouse output itself)

Some more things I remembered:

• when playing a track in the playlist view pressing shift + space would not just stop the recording and play it back to where the cursor was last, but where shift+space was pressed.
• after opening a project with existing automations I noticed, that the animation is missing from the automation. For e.g. when I use the parametric EQ and have an automation of the gain of the low pass frequency, I can hear that the automation is actually happening, but I cant see it in the plugin.
• drag and drop audio into playlist also does not work (like the mentioned samples into pattern sequencer does not work)

Thanks again for this great work!
