Release Candidate Firmware V1.25 RC5

[XORadmin]

ok, but let's simplify.

With the current functions we either add a trigger to the pattern or set the gate to on (without changing the pattern).

First off)
Maybe the auto-gate should be a gate-on that fills in - that would be the same behaviour but it's a fill that we can see (imo better readability, rather than ghost-activity on the trigger/gate channel).

Secondly)
With the current functionality, if I have auto-gate and auto-trigger (just roll with the names, you know what I mean) set to ON, doesn't that mean I effectively don't have a gate on because there is a trigger there overwriting it instead?

Doesn't that mean I can't have both on? (I just tested this and it's the same as just using auto-trigger)

If so, it should just be: Nothing, auto-gate, auto-trigger (not both, because the one overwrites the other)
Unless there's something I missed, the only functionality I can see with having both on would be that you fill in a note, you get a trigger, you then delete that trigger and now there's a ghost-auto-gate-on there.

Just to begin with. I am not going to change it.

These are options for 2 different workflows.

The Auto-Gate option is something absolutely standard with trackers and it works basically with note on / note off. You can overrule it with either a Kill 000 or if something is filled in into the trigger column. The Kill 000 with enabled auto-gate allows to change the pitch while not re-gating or even without gating.

Then additionally there is the trigger column which is for sure a modular only thing and is usually not standard for tracker. Some people are not into the auto gate thing but rather want complete control using the trigger columns and thus create gates or triggers etc. The trigger option is just a convenience thing so also a trigger is inserted if a note is inserted. This allows for a bit faster editing since you only got to do one action instead of 2. The downside is that always a trigger is inserted with a note.

Both functions can be used together.
