peter Feedback on Audio Segments area.
Hi Peter, i like how as you select a new loop it automatically jumps back to now playing loop but i don't like how quickly it does it, suggestion is to delay this action by a couple of seconds to let us see the actual selected new loop before it returns for reassurance purpose.
Things i still find bad, when in stop mode selecting a loop does not highlight it.
Suggestion on improving the the visual feedback as song is progressing, as the loop starts playing and becomes the now playing loop, there needs to be more instant visual feedback to which loop is playing, there is no visual feedback in the beginning of loop as there is no progress bar yet, my suggestion is as the loop starts you make this loop internal area BLACK like the background that exists behind it, this will immediately make that loop stand out from the rest, and then as it fills its also obvious the loop that is playing, all other loops to remain as is and i would suggest you double the white area surround on the next selected loop as it also needs a boost to see it more clearly.when in stop selecting a loop should also make the background BLACK and a white surround to indicate which loop is about to play.
There is no need to space out the loop buttons so much , as this was never a problem in ST3 ,
Because you have round edges i would almost join the buttons as you will still get a V dip between them , perhaps a very tiny gap so you only see a tiny black line.
When you use the assignable buttons to choose a next loop, there is a JERK happening as you step through the buttons and when you get off screen you cant see what you are selecting again i would make it when you select a new loop it highlights it and after a couple of seconds if you haven't made a new choice it returns to now playing segment.
The overall look and feel is great, its gong to make a big difference on stage to manipulate loops live and encourage users to segment their songs as there are many benefits to this.
