SuperN and SuperNs [WANTED or DALTONS]

[TonE]

Why only limiting to 8 with Super8 and not allowing the user to put any number they want, at first line, and the rest of the code would still work? So why having this magical number 8?

After having N, why only limiting to N mono, so it could even take stereo, calling it Ns.

Those are the new ideas. Have fun.

1. To avoid a lawsuit from Nintendo for being too similar to Super NES?

2. I can tell it's a Lucky Luke reference, but what does "Wanted or Daltons" mean?

[TonE]

Wanted means this is a feature request, Daltons are prisoners escaped, also wanted. After implementing I convert the title to Lucky Luke. Now understood? To add some variation and attention factor to the titles.

Tried changing

PHP Code:

g_nchan = 16; 


and indeed 16 pads are now shown. Also set the number of input and output pins to 16. Only the new channels do not show the speaker button as blue, instead they are crossed out, an X is above it. Plus how could we make it so always two channels are active at the same time.

My prefered Super 8s version should just keep the original 8 pads/channels, but showing them simply as stereo waveforms, everything else exactly same, only pins need to be doubled and processed always in double form.

I guess only Justin could do this in 5 minutes. Until then we need to live with 8 mono channels.

My suggestion would be adding another parameter to code:

PHP Code:

stereo=1;  // using 8 stereo channels, not available yet, it seems
stereo=0;  // using 8 mono   channels, as now 


Then anyone could just modify g_nchan and stereo to their favoured variants.

Then later adding drag and drop of audio files, not only recording audio, would be another coolness.

Then also allowing drag and drop of midi files, not only audio.

There you go Reaper 6 awesomeness. Who would ask for playtime or ableton session view then?
