Slashing the Feature Creep
One thing this version of Cantabile has suffered from is a serious dose of feature creep. Mostly this was made worse by the much longer than expected time it took to write the new user-interface.
Anyway, in an attempt to combat this I've culled the rather lengthy list of ideas down to a more cohesive and reachable target.
This is what's left to do:
- Sub-sessions (see previous post)
- Enhance Quick Sessions to allow specifying a session and a sub-session for each entry.
- Ability to send MIDI clock (receive is done, send is not)
- MIDI Note Assignments - ability to assign MIDI notes similarly to how controllers can currently be assigned.
- Ability to solo/mute and unload media players.
- Anything else ever hinted to, thought about, promised or whatever is not going to make it. I've just got to draw the line.
Then there's the unfinished bits:
- Disabling synchronisation of audio files to external clock (it's a problem bigger than I want to solve right now).
- Possibly removing the offline renderer - it mostly works but doesn't really belong in Cantabile.
- Re-writing the entire help (can't wait to do that - NOT)
- Updating the purchase ordering pages/website, license key generation etc... and,
- lots of testing...
