Subject[Csnd] tracker UX advice
oiii guuudmoring guuudnight

i've been working on this tracker for a week now, it's done in Godot and uses godot-csound :) my rookie logic couldn't keep up with a real-time interface sending strings like "i 1 0 5 8.1325 1" if the duration is smaller or around than 0.25 seconds (stuff starts to clip), so i'm minding in generating the score before scheduling the playhead position (which will be sync with unixTime to move between notes, so more as reference tool than anything else) to move

SOOO, i'm linking an screenshot showing what i think about a visualization of the note duration... each instrument has a color and each note will draw a strip/line with its instrument color till it's stop (start + duration... it create the last note automatically if doesn't exist). what are your thoughts and have you ever had an idea of note duration visualization on tracker?

i'll release this under a source-available package (i guess i can use "all rights reserved" for my stuff along godot-csound but please correct me if i'm wrong) that, of course, will be free of price, no ads. etc. etc.

happy to hear your ideas
