what will be new in 1.5?

i really hope some optimations for the note editing/sequencing. i really miss a autojump function. is abit anoying to move the cursor 3 steps down to make a simple bassdrumline. (iphone version)
always, press note, move the cursor 3 steps down, press note, move the cursor 3 steps down ... it would be much easier, when i can set autojump to "4" steps und just press the notes.

keep up the good work!

You can press hold to fill in the spaces. I saw Alex do in in a tutorial, and it works well. Much faster than moving the cursor.

Any possible chance we could get that switch for the iPhone/iPod/iPad version to use 16 bit audio...????? That's all I really want at this point. I'd pay for that update. :D

Would it be possible to do that the controls belong independent from the patterns (ticks)?. I mean, the Arpeggio effect is there because its impossible change the notes so fast (you need to make a new song with a BPM of 600 to make a fast arpeggio), but if you have to change the Duty Cycle faster (Like in some NES games)?. A tracker called "Famitracker" implements a good idea: making an independent list of columns for some effects. But Famitracker doesn't have some cool features from SunVox.

Look at the screen:

Would it be possible add some similar to SunVox in future releases?.

That's called a macro. Something that's a loop or quick set of instructions called forth on a sequencer. I think though maybe if the LFO supports control over any parameter of the machine it's hooked up to, a macro system would probably be less likely to be used. I'm not shooting the idea down, I'd love to have either addition, frankly...I just think a macro editor would be more complex than necessary and a truly routable LFO is clean, simple and capable of a wide variety of sound manipulation. If the LFO had a step editor in it, you'd essentially have a macro editor (see renoise' LFO machine that allows a custom 'wave' to be created on it).

:) Good idea, though. :)

Yes, a macro!. An LFO editor will be great too. But with an LFO editor its possible change the duty cycle faster (for example)?

That is exiting almost there. I'll have to get a battery extender for my n900.
