I just added the ability to adjust the probability of hearing one of these more-or-less random upstroke fills to the alpha version. More customization options will be added in the future, but at least now there’s an easy way to remove them entirely if so desired… or at least I hope it’s easy – that’s why I’m doing usability testing!
I also hope to make them a bit smarter and more “tasteful” in the future… hard to do with Strum Machine doesn’t know the medley line, but for standard 8/16/32 bar forms, it’s usually easy to guess where the fills should go.
Re: dampened strum for jigs. So would that be a “boom” on beats 1 and 4, and a dampened “chuck” on beats 3 and 6? I haven’t heard that strum pattern being used “in the wild” which is why I never thought to add it, but I suppose I could…
No way to keep the global mixing panel open, but I’ll put that under consideration as well. I think you’re aware that you can change the band for each song in a medley separately, and I think you’re talking about mid-song band changes, which is something I’ll be adding in the future. Correct me if I’m wrong though.
