Feature request: Ability to enable-disable active track from anywhere

[Ferloch]

System

• NGEN Hardware Version: v1.1 (batch #2)
• NGEN Firmware Version: v1.3.0
• Related feature: Track Shortcuts

Steps

• Load a new project
• Go to Generator menu (or any other menu)

Observed

• Hold TRACK and turn ENCODER → Selected track changes
• Hold TRACK and press ENCODER → State of selected track does not change (enable-disable)

Expected

• It could be useful to be able to enable-disable active track from anywhere (any menu), just like it is useful to be able to “quick track select” from anywhere
• In other words: it’s about workflow optimization

Side note

• According to manual, this shortcut is already used by “Reload Track settings from active pattern” action, but it’s not clear what it is doing and I didn’t notice any effect when I tried

The upcoming 1.4 update will include a new global shortcut for toggling tracks (TRACK + press Encoder).

In 1.3, there is a shortcut for toggling tracks from the Track selector (FN + Encoder) but, after talking to some other users, I agreed it’d be better to have it available globally via Track + Encoder since it improves the workflow of switching between tracks and toggling them on / off.

As for the Reload Track Settings, this is actually an error in the manual which I’ll fix immediately. The appropriate shortcut should be Track + Return and it reloads the state of a track from the currently loaded pattern (instead of loading the entire pattern).

That’s great news, thanks !

Oh I see
