Similar to Visualizer, but does not need any song to be present.

Propsal. use ctrl + Down and ctrl + up to browse through all chains or patterns.

Needs "current_chain" variable

1. try/except to eliminate crash
2. restrict input to available chains/phrases
3. Ask if user wants to create new empty chain/phrase

sudo pip install python-rtmidi fails with error : fatal error: alsa/asoundlib.h: No such file or durectiry

SUB_STEPS seemingly interacts with midi when sending to hardware

Add midi clock out to use all outs of BEFACO MidiThing in my modular setup.

Switch into a Visualizer mode where outgoing notes are displayed in a way that they're interesting to look at:

-> Waterfall, all notes dropping from top to bottom
-> Fireworks, each channel randomly spawns tiny animation in it's color

Currently only the first MIDI device will receive midi data. Add a midi Device selection in the config tab.

copy values with C and paste them with V

Dear PyGUI could be used to create and render a window. Also it could free up the keyboard only inputs.

Proposal: show activity on the right hand side as most rows of the raspberry pi are already in use

This still does copy by reference in "deepcopy" and "flood" even with copy(). But my regular "copy" and "past" works well.

"deepcoping" a phrase should no link it to the original. When changing the new pattern later the original pattern needs to stay untouched.

Transpose will shift the phrase to it's left up or down.

Add solo / mute mode for performance.

Modifiers apply a modification to the note on their left.

Note Modifiers:

• 'S' - Staccato, length Play note only for fixed amount of time
• 'T' - reTrigger, divider Retrigger the current note instead of playing it just once, amount is given by divider. 2 -> twice 4 -> four times
• 'H' - Hold note Do not set stop note until next input.
• 'R' - Random, range play a random note in the range up and down from the set note. E.g. base note 'C 5'

Step modifiers

• 'B' - Backwards, speed Step backwards in the phrase chain until the start is hit, manipulate backwards speed
• 'J' - Jump, frequency, randomly skip this step '

When running midiTracker one a CLI with less than MAX STEPS (usually 16) + 3 lines height the app will crash.

This should be resolved by using a pad/window system.

Start with middle C -> integer 60, to speed up note entry

To make the data more usable and editable with other tools JSON could be a first step.

• import json

Substep counter needs >= instead of >.

flood notes to all slots below the current selected note with that note.

Builds should be "Artist Friendly" to install.

hello,
i'm using Python 3.10.12 on linux (mint 21.3) and I've setup the venv environement according to the manual there https://github.com/zuggamasta/midiTracker/wiki/01-Installing-midiTracker-(Beginner-Friendly)

after starting miditracker with python3 midiTracker.py, I saw the logo moving to the left, and then it crashed saying:
