I also have a few ideas for GridPie (I noticed three unassigned buttons in the monome 64 layout).
-
Auto capture instrument and track when selecting a clip would be nice (last selected, maybe a slow blink indicating the active clip). That way you can quickly select instrument/track and jam along.
-
A recording function. Press Rec button. Assuming the above suggested function, this enables pattern follow and edit mode (Indicating active clip with fast blink). This allows you to record notes and automation. Switching Rec off copies the edited clip back to it’s original position.
-
Another unassigned button could simply be an undo button.
-
And a third unassigned button could be copy. Press and hold, select target clip (indicating with blink), select destination… and the clip is copied.
