rev 211124: LTS4

a few new features + fixes -- mega thanks to @clashley1 + @DuellingAnts + @21echoes for the warm + helpful testing <333

new

• pad press live-quantization
  • head over to PARAMS > timing + patterns + arps and you'll find a live-quantize pads setting!
  • flip it on for bank pad presses to be quantized to the next 1/16th beat at the current bpm
  • patterns also filter through this mechanism, so that should give a bit of flexibility when changing tempo on an already-recorded pattern
• metronome click
  • on main page, hold K2 and you'll see the transport appear -- use E1 to scroll over to CLICK and press K3 to toggle an audible metronome click on/off
  • don't hear it when it's on? make sure the 'engine' level is turned up on your norns levels page. it won't bleed into live buffer recording :slight_smile:
• adjustable fade time
  • by default, pads have 10ms of fade time on their start + end, which softens discontinuities in the waveform and allows for clickless cutting -- when working with percussive material, this setting can be too aggressive on transients, so there's an option to reduce the fade per-bank! (this addresses @tournesol's transient q's above)
  • head to PARAMS > loops + buffers > banks and you'll find fade time -- 10ms to 0ms
• 64-sized grids now have pattern saving page
  • on a 64-sized grid, hold ALT + press the top-right key (8,1) to get to a pattern management page
  • row 2: bank a, row 3: bank b, row 4: bank c
  • if either a grid pattern or arp is currently loaded in a bank, a quick hold on any pad in the corresponding row will save that pattern or arp there for recall
  • tap a saved pad to load the pattern saved there
  • ALT+hold a saved pad to clear the pattern saved there
• midi-mappable pattern management
  • intended to help folks with footswitches be able to load patterns on-the-fly. inspired by convo with @yorke
  • head to PARAMS > pattern management > iterative load to map a MIDI CC to trigger iterative cycling of saved patterns (next/prev)
• arc 2 support (for 64-sized grids only)
  • under PARAMS > grid/arc, you'll find an arc size parameter
  • arc will display parameters for the currently-selected bank (64 grids have a bank-focus mechanism that 128's don't need / have)
  • bottom encoder: changes which parameter the top encoder affects (loop window, loop start, loop end, filter tilt, level, panning)
  • ALT + top encoder movement proliferates adjustment to all pads
• Faderfox EC4 support! (thank you @MentalSandal !!)
  • MIDI Fighter Twister mode can also be accessed with the EC4

fixed

• arc now respects the loops enc resolution param (thx for the report, @jeffreypierce!)
• lots of little pattern-launching gremlins on the meta sequencer page have been sussed out and banished
• arp pad removal no longer puts 'keys held' into a negative state
• cleaned up some parameter default states to create a better first-touch experience
