I diisagree - The semitone screen could be possibly built in by using 1/n ths of a semitone rather than percentages, but I suspect that the loss of accuracy for beatmatching and/or the many more clicks needed to raise by one semitone would not make this an improvement to the UI. OR we could use a shift key modifier to step in semitones, but maybe not on all targets and that complicates the keymap. > Is the one that is necessary voiced well at all? Not yet. I've been trying ro voice it, but it's not great because of limitations with low latency playback. > There are two settings, "pitch" and "speed".

Yes, I could disable timestretch, but it's still many more keypresses to do what the current pitch screen does fluidly - and using Rockbox for DJ-ing means you're always against the clock. > And yet you've not actually described why the screen is needed beyond "The > nudge functionality should be preserved." The screen and the nudge > functionality aren't necessarily teh same thing. Because it's a good UI and one of the best parts of Rockbox, IMHO (since way back when in the Archos days). pondlife Received on 2009-06-21 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
