Are there (or could there be) keyboard shortcuts for loading the next/previous song in a list when you’ve got list navigation enabled? I’m working out a process for running a virtual jam session without having to put my instrument down and use the mouse or keyboard, and if there were a shortcut I could bind a macro or button on my bluetooth foot pedal to for advancing to the next song in a list, that would be one more action I could do hands-free. I could see it being useful for busking once that’s a thing again, too.
Even without that feature (and I just discovered list navigation today, so it’s entirely possible there’s already a shortcut and I just haven’t found it yet), this app has been a real help during self-isolation, so thank you!
I like this idea and definitely want to implement it in the future! I plan to make all the keyboard shortcuts customizable as well. Hard to say exactly when this will be done, but it’s on the roadmap!
Did this ever get made? I’ve just bought an “xSonic Airstep Lite” and so far have mapped:
back to the beginning: backspace
-1bpm
play/pause
+1bpm
+5bpm
Which is nice but im hoping there is a keyboard shortcut for: Progress to the next track. and Go back to the previous track. Are there shortcut keys for these actions?
Still haven’t gotten around to this. This falls in the same category as the “last time” Auto-Finish keyboard shortcut that I just posted about – been on the list for a long time, haven’t done it yet, but things are looking good for it finally happening in 2024…
Hey, Luke
Is there an update on keyboard shortcuts? Specifically for queuing up the next song?
Could you please work on a feature that allows us to switch between multiple chord progressions?
For example: starting normally plays progression 1.
Keyboard shortcut ‘x’ toggles progression 1
Keyboard shortcut ‘y’ toggles progression 2
Keyboard shortcut ‘z’ toggles progression 3
So it’s kind of like a medley, but we’re in control of which progression we want to use.
The shortcuts would toggle Strum Machine the same way ‘foot out’ does, however instead of ending the song, it moves to the next progression.
Please let me know if one or both of these can be considered for the next Strum Machine update
Changes are that custom keyboard shortcuts won’t make it into the next big release. Still a lot of ends I need to tie up before release and life is putting some constraints on my coding time at the moment. It’s still a high priority though so it will happen this year.
If you’re specifically talking about a keyboard shortcut to progress forward to another chord progression, you can do that today in the beta version if you have the “Foot out” experimental setting enabled. In a medley, spacebar will tell Strum Machine to move to the next song at the end of the current repetition.
Regarding setting up keyboard shortcuts to arbitrarily switch progressions, that’s not something I’ve considered or really heard requests for, so it’s not on my radar. But give the “foot out” spacebar shortcut a try with a medley in the beta version – it might be just want you’re looking for.
