> If you switch between TO and BY often, it is way simpler press a button (on computer or MIDI keyboard).
Alas, I have no more pads left on the Novation... And I'd like to keep all these functions on the same "mode", because I use them a lot (I'm used to record and arrange at the same time, I do the mixing/sound polish afterwards)
> I will say the same for on/off, but at least I understand the logic when off is the first (or the last) position on the knob (even so I think more natural to have off next to 1/64, not 1/1...).
most of the time, I'm moving clips around to arrange the song, so I switch between no snap and whole snap (usually "by"). So in my case, I prefer to have them in decreasing size.
And for the by/to toggle, I was very proud of my idea, but no problem, you already did a lot.
I'll try to do by myself on knob A7, we'll see if I learnt something
> But I don't see a logic in assigning a knob region to toggle something, especially after off position
Note that the "toggle" area is very small : i'll have to go and bump into 0 position to trigger it. The OFF area is far bigger.
> (after switching you want set some specific snap value, otherwise there was no reason to switch...).
Yes, but these knobs are easy to manip, so to switch from 1/8-BY to 1/8-TO, I'll just have to make a quick full-left and right back in the same position.
> Even when something is possible, it is not always a good idea
You're right. And we all have a different way to use this nice Cakewalk sequencer.
Have a nice day guys !
