Re: MIDI Record and Thru question BUG?

2005-10-15 by makedosh

Colin,

Just upgraded #1037 to 3.1.06B18 (from 06B10), I seem to have a bug on
 the new event groups (sub menu) when I Func+mode from pattern edit
'grab' comes up and Func takes me to 'Inter Track'. I can't seem to
select any grab/swap/push events (its like I can't get down to the
individual event selection). All the other event groups/event
selections work ok - is this a bug or am I doing it wrong? (re-flashed
twice just to make sure)

BTW Like the idea of the event groups but might I suggest that when at
the top menu level (Randomize/Accumulator/Knob Grab etc) the F1
softkey display is changed from 'enter' to Func so the navigation
makes its obvious there is a sub menu, either that or hitting F1 takes
you to the sub menu events - because right now it confusing.

Thanks
Roger
