We don’t have enough buttons for all the actions we want to do quickly and/or in real-time. Probably need at least one button for a multi-use with on-release, hold, double tap, etc. In this case the mixer on-hold action which means that button cannot be used for an on-press (unless we always want to activate the on-press action before entering the mixer). So we get boxed in with things like “next part” that some people really need to be on-press.
Perhaps we can give the user another way to trigger this action with precise timing (on-press). Getting to to on-press version of “next part” will take an extra step, but once you had it ready, it would be real-time.
So here’s one way. I’m sure there are other ways/variations
- Step one - Get Ready: User double taps bottom left button.
- At this point “Next Part Now” is ready! Footswitch menus change to: “Next Part NOW” , “Select Song” , “Delete Track >”. (Play/Stop AlL button turns to an Exit button with an onscreen label.). Note that the specific labels and actions are not important and should change.
- Step Two - Do it: Pressing the left button “Next Part NOW” triggers the next part in real time
(The above is similar to Hands-free song selection with @BrennanSingularSound idea to keep hold fior quick mixer acess …so we use doiuble tap).
Whatever the solution, I hope it allows the Aeros to do more in the future without repeatedly dealing with this hard issue.
