Here is my original idea of how a labeling system could be laid out on the Aeros. I sent this to Singular Sound as well.
The idea is to replace the dots on the left side and replace it with boxes labeled Part 1, Part 2, etc… the box would most likely have to be extended to the right a slight bit. The box could then be clicked and labeled as whatever you want to call the Part.
On the right side of the screen add an additional box similar to the left hand side only with the Track labels instead. Track 1, Track 2, etc… These could be clicked in order to name the track parts.
(picture demonstrating this is attached below)
With this layout I think everything is much easier to navigate and just like it is set up now, the left footswitch would cycle through the song parts on the left of the screen and the middle button would cycle through the track parts on the right side of the screen.
In my opinion this layout is much more visually appealing and easier to navigate than the current screen layout with both Part and Track selection labels on the main screen; however the tradeoff in this would be the waveform display would be shortened, though that wouldn’t bother me too much in trade for being able to navigate the parts and tracks easier.
I am pretty clueless when it comes to programming but I would imagine changing the Aeros to this display would be much more involved than the idea mentioned above which more builds upon the current layout of the Aeros. I would be happy with either system or perhaps a different one if anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how to achieve the best method of organization for songs.
I really hope Singular Sound does keep these ideas in consideration once all the main initial functions are in place. This is a high priority for me so as I mentioned in the previous post if everyone is in agreement that labeling is a worthwhile for them to reprogram the layout, please continue to help get their attention on the matter.
Again, please let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions on how a better labeling system could be put in to place. Thanks!
