@JTB Thank you for your time and the detailed input. Here are my answers:
On both of my iPads, after copying a grid, the paste button does nothing.
We will retest the copy grid on additional test systems.
And I didn’t realise that needing unplug and re-plug the iPad’s was a feature not a bug. Doesn’t seem very ‘Pro’ IMO. And considering that one of my two iPads always connects when launching Metasever, the whole USB OS spiel sounds implausible.
We are not happy with this as well, JTB. We have spent tons of hours to find the solution for the USB connectivity. I am moving this to a dedicated thread since I will need more details.
And please understand that we as users develop muscle memory. So moving/removing elements like the Content Manager in settings is counterproductive.
Got it - we thought that nearly everybody is using double tap shortcut to access CM - it is the quickest and most “muscle memory” friendly way to access CM. The Content Manager item will be brought back to the Settings in 1.6.10.
- Copy macro from ON state to Off state and vice versa is unreliable
- Macro overwriting is unreliable
- ALL fader and button settings aren’t copied across reliably
We will do additional tests and debugging.
- We cannot export/import XY Pads or Labels
Yes, currently it is not possible. Nobody requested that so far - labels are “easy” objects, XY Pads are rather singular in usage. However, we will add the XY Pad and Label import/export to 1.6.10.
- There is still no additional ports
Let’s take it here.
- There is no global editing (all identical buttons in project can be edited/replaced)
As mentioned somewhere else, it is rather difficult to implement taking into consideration our database model/architecture. We are still thinking how to implement this functionality.
- Replacing grids that are part of a scene takes 10 steps
We have enable you to replace the grids assigned to the scenes on import. What scenario you are talking about?
- After splitting a button down to one square, it cannot be dragged to a location of more than one square.
We will examine and fix this if possible in 1.6.10
And then there is the possibility of new display options, ‘Objects’ that contain multiple elements that can be exported/ imported into grids, new icon packs, fonts, backgrounds, effects etc etc. And still waiting for articulation assignment in Cubase.
I personally would not make the revamping of the Settings UI priority. No one AFAIK on this forum had asked for it. There are many many more important improvements that should be implemented.
The Settings rework is a part of a large effort to bring MGP to iPhone as well and enable landscape/portrait orientations on iPad. That requires redesign of several vital part of application for responsive, device-agnostic design. Enabling iPhone support for MGP is our top priority now - it also gives us a change to improve the UI - and the new Settings is much, much better than our previous solution.
