Cool, very useful new pattern effects.

Suggestion: SHIFT+click on B/M/S in a module's window to set a 13 or 14 effect the fast way.

Yeah. Only one thing is not implemented yet - it is B/M/S realtime recording

Keyboard shortcuts for B/M/S would also be nice.

I was hoping to hit REC, and mute and unmute different patterns in realtime. Just like how the volume slider can be recorded in realtime. Either way, thank you so much for the pattern effect option.

Sorry if I'm a little dense, but how do I configure the ability to automate the mute and solos?

lovely!

can you make a 'make selected pattern unique'. For example if the current pattern in green/selected is a clone, I would like to be able to make it a unique new pattern with the same data, in the same place, and replace the duplicate.

Hi NightRadio!

Just wanted to say what a beautiful piece of software Sunvox is.

I wanted to try the new beta but the link doesn't seem to be working... :(

Also, is there a way to map patterns to different MIDI channels when exporting to MIDI?

Thanks!

Hi iaon,

Are you talking about the pattern to MIDI channel mapping?

I just exported a song to MIDI with different instruments and patterns and the result was everything mixed up in a single channel. Perhaps I missed something?

Thanks again

No, I just meant the link is dead because it's out of beta stage.
I haven't used the MIDI features much so I hope someone else can answer that part.
