From 6a2e008b0f6b7ac4ef5fbc7455ddcdd610256613 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: melancholytron Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2025 15:29:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Fix arpeggiator pattern length and delay timing issues MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Add triplet divisions for longer notes (2/1T, 4/1T) - Fix pattern length truncation - up_down now plays half up, half down - Set default output mode to hardware instead of simulator - Link delay timing to note speed for proper musical relationships 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- core/arpeggiator_engine.py | 65 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- core/output_manager.py | 2 +- gui/arpeggiator_controls.py | 8 ++--- 3 files changed, 57 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/core/arpeggiator_engine.py b/core/arpeggiator_engine.py index 677ac33..c3a4473 100644 --- a/core/arpeggiator_engine.py +++ b/core/arpeggiator_engine.py @@ -62,7 +62,7 @@ class ArpeggiatorEngine(QObject): NOTE_SPEEDS = { "1/32": 1/32, "1/32T": 1/48, "1/16": 1/16, "1/16T": 1/24, "1/8": 1/8, "1/8T": 1/12, "1/4": 1/4, "1/4T": 1/6, -
