Time Signatures

AbortRetryFail

I feel like this should have been a thing since the moment 2.0 came out and it stopped just giving a beat counter.

Writing other time signatures on the Deluge is a hassle because it internally acts like every song is 4/4. The metronome ticks in 4/4. Screens zoom and copy in 4/4 and divisions/multiples of it. That might be fine to work around for even numbers, but if you try to do something like 3/4 or 7/8 it gets frustrating fast.

let's talk about the user interface. How would you prefer to change the time signature? Via settings menu? Or, for example, shift+Triplets button would cycle through a few of common ones? Maybe Triplets button could maybe also blink to indicate the time signature is not the default 4/4, similar to how Song button blinks in Arranger view.

Perhaps just a way to disable, on a whole-track basis, the last x number of pads. For each loop you can do this - say, shorten the clip from 16 to 14 and you get a 7/8 beat. BUT then if you duplicate that clip x2, you then get 16 pads on the first page and 12 on the second, rather than 14+14, which isn't ideal if you're writing something in 7/8. Would be nice to just set a song setting somewhere that maintains that clip length you've set as a default, no matter how many times you duplicate the clip, create a new one, etc.
