Hey @stan
(deutsch geht auch falls es zu schwierig mit englisch ist..)
I guess you mean something like a "Hold" button that plays the whole loop in standalone Mode all the time. (and updates all changes immediately)
In developement we figured that in the "main use case" mode of using PercX would/should definitely be played with a MIDI keyboard. In this case the thing that you mean, would be pressing C3 and editing the samples in the EDIT TAB.
In the moment you exchange an instrument with another one, though, you would definitely have to hit the C3 key again, because adding MIDI NOTEons on-the-fly would quickly lead to chaos.
The thing with the loop in REAPER should definitely work (just tested it. ) (and if there are some hanging notes just click the STOP Playback on top of the TEMPO
@1 . Confirmed, the "renaming" button has a delay in showing up in the Preset Browser.. But only if you change the Categories name. The preset renaming is functioning alright.
Regarding stans 4:
The decision for putting the PresetBrowser in a submenu, was a conscious decision to separate the Preset Browser functionality (saving/loading) enough from the "loading up new kits" in the Kit Browser. After a lot of tests we figured that the way it is now, would lead to the least confusion for the most users. (to the probable detriment of some power users who would want to go crazy on presets,)
PercX is a pretty hybrid instrument in this regard.. and admittedly not perfect for every usecase.
by 1 click and they are directly playable or even inmediately played in a running loop-play-mode......
Did you already check out the "Variation" feature in the EDIT Tab? this lets you change the midi notes on the fly (+ CTRL automatable)
