A: Known “must have” features - without which TWO is not suitable for purpose in many contexts.
1 - MIDI out clock sync. I will then add MIDI in clock, followed by Timecode I/O.
2 - Triggering playback of individual loops - e.g. analogous to Ableton’s “Session View”.
3 - “Offset” interpolated curves in timelines need more control over shape - the current ease-in, ease-out doesn’t give enough shape control. Bezier points for example, would improve this.
4 - MacOS build version is trailing behind the Windows one by a lot.
5 - DMX fixture definition in TWO, and through loading standard files.
B: Good to have features - it’s usable but the user experience is sub-optimal.
1 - Keyboard navigation throughout.
2 - Multiple selection and manipulation outside timelines (where it is already implemented per lane).
3 - Automatic crash reporting with Sentry should be added.
4 - Simultaneous selection and editing of keyframes also across lanes.
5 - Tab groups in Editors. Could be useful, but for the time being the Address hierarchy feature has the same effect.
6 - Recordings made for a namespace, that is “broken up” into Address+Namespace hierarchies, may not be re-usable for the new hierarchy.
7 - Triggering recording from keyboard / remotely over OSC, needs to be added
8 - Showing bigger part of the Address Pattern for controls also in the editor panels - at least optionally.
C: Known bugs - and if known, temporary workarounds.
1 - Keyboard controls can stop working.
2 - On a secondary touch-screen, controls do not work when used with the mouse. Most likely due to a bug in the JUCE C++ framework version used.
Release Notes:
For the full release notes and history, see here. The below are only the issues explicitly listed on this post, per release.
These bugs are fixed with 0.12.7:
- Automatically arrange editors on legacy .two project files, from old versions that lacked Editors.
- Right-click menu in clips panel fails to stay engaged.
- Stacked TypeTagStrings for the same address pattern are not correctly auto-arranged on creation in Editors.
- Synergy, for reasons not yet understood, asks to close and modify TWO when it’s installed on Windows. And after that, TWO will crash, with the Event Viewer logs pointing to the MSVC140 runtime. Uninstalling both, and then re-installing TWO after a reboot, fixes it. But I don’t currently know how both can work together.
These bugs are fixed with 0.12.5:
1 - Very rarely, looping in timelines can stop.
2 - Looping fails to send messages after the first iteration, if the ending loop-point is before the last message in the clip. The temporary workaround is to use a clip where there are no more messages after the end loop-point. - Under some conditions looping fails to send messages in the transport.
