Give sounds, instruments, patterns and songs a sound FX (#352)
A sound FX could only be picked where something was played: on a Play
node, a track or an item of a song. A sound that should always sound
through the same effect needed that pick everywhere it was used. Now
the asset says it once, and every place that plays it follows.
- New row Sound FX on a sound, an instrument, a pattern and a song,
right before Bus. A sound goes through it on every voice, an
instrument on every note after its graph, a pattern on all its
notes together and a song on its output.
- The fx input of Play sound, Play note, Play pattern and Play song
and the Sound FX of a song item now read "From the asset" while
empty. None is a pick of its own, stored as `#none` like `#master`.
A pick replaces the FX of the asset, it does not come on top.
- A pattern item's Instrument reads "From the asset" instead of None.
The meaning is unchanged.
- A double-click on a sound item opens the sound, as one on a pattern
item opens the pattern.
- The tabs play through the FX of their asset. The Pattern and Song
tab put it on a bus of their own between the output and the bus of
the asset. The keys of the Pattern tab play there too.
- Notes of a pattern or song go through the FX of their instrument.
Its chain is loaded with the other needs of the sequence.
Decided without asking:
- Old items and Play nodes with an empty fx now mean "From the
asset". No asset has an FX yet, so nothing sounds different.
- The label is "From the asset" as on Loop and Bus, not "From asset".
- A sound used as a Sample, as the impulse of a Reverb or as the test
sound of the Sound FX tab plays without its own FX.
Findings:
- In e2e, `__gm.inspectorField('Sound FX')` and `('Instrument')` find
the group of the Assets panel first. The check asks for the last
match.
Tests:
- Unit asset-fx (new): 8 green. Six counter-checks each turned red.
- Field lists of sound, pattern and song: Sound FX added.
- e2e 65 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 46 checks (3 new). Counter-check
without the FX bus of the tab: that check red.
- Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 268 files, 4142 tests.
- Not checked: how it sounds, the Sound, Instrument and Pattern tab
in the browser.

Mix sounds through buses and a master (#325)
Until now every sound went straight to the speakers. There was no point where all of them came together, so nothing could turn the music down against the effects, and a compressor or a shared echo over everything had nowhere to sit. The bus technique of #346 was there already, only the end of the chain was missing. - Bus asset (Audio): Volume, Sound FX and Into. Into is empty for the master and never offers the bus itself nor a bus that already goes into it. The list is worked out when the menu opens, so a change made meanwhile counts. A loop that is in a project anyway sends the buses on it into the master. - The master is no asset. Its volume and sound FX are two new rows under Master in Project settings, one undo step each. A project written before has 1 and none, which is how it sounded. - Sound, instrument, pattern and song have a row Bus, empty for the master. Play sound, Play note, Play pattern and Play song have an input bus: From the asset, Master or a bus. Inside a song or a pattern only the bus of the song or pattern counts. - Set bus volume (bus, volume, time, easing) and Bus volume. An empty bus is the master. The volume set holds for the whole run, across scenes, over that of the asset. GameRun resets it at start and end. Set sound FX parameters without a voice now reaches the sound FX of the bus picked in its new bus input. - SoundLibrary: the master is the bus "mix", each bus "mix:<id>". Every bus, the playing masters of #346 included, ends there, and only the master is heard. setMix sets them up once a context exists, so an editor nobody listened to opens no audio device. The same mix again changes nothing, which lets the editor hand it over on every change of the project. - The tabs play as the game does: Sound, Sound FX, Instrument, Pattern and Song tab through the bus of their asset and the master. - Pause game does nothing to the buses (the user's answer 4b). A game that wants quiet in its pause menu sets a bus volume itself. - Streaming long music files is #349, split off as asked. Finding on the way: the Into menu first worked from a list made when the inspector row was built. After another bus was sent into the open one, e2e 34 saw it still offered. It is now asked on open. The SoundLibrary tests expected voices to end at the destination. They now end in the master, which adds its input, level and pan to every wiring and two gains to every list. Those expectations are updated, nothing else in them changed. Tests: - Unit buses (new): 15 green. Ten counter-checks, each red on its own: loop check, bus picked, reset at run start, bus of Set sound FX parameters, master volume in the settings, and in SoundLibrary default into the master, voices into the master, run volume over the mix, no context before a play, a playing on its bus. - Unit sound-library: 90 green (5 new). Node catalog: 416 green (9 new cases). - e2e 34 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED, 75 checks (3 new). The voice of the Sound tab was heard on mix:<bus>, that bus into the other, that one at 0.5 into the master. Master volume 0.6 via the dialog, undo back to 1. - Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 262 files, 4072 tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Show what the song plays around a pattern as ghost notes (#339)
A bass line is written against the chords it goes with. Until now the piano roll showed only the pattern itself, so writing a part to fit the rest of a song meant switching between the Pattern and the Song tab. - A double-click on a pattern item remembers song, item and the round clicked into for that pattern. The place lives in the session, not in the project, and goes by the item's id, so moving the item moves the ghost notes along. - Opened from the Assets panel, the pattern shows the item of the last double-click. Without one, a pattern that lies in exactly one item of all the songs shows that item's first round. - Ghost notes are the pattern items of the other tracks all along the song, and on the own track the items before and after and the other rounds of the item. The round edited itself does not count. Sound items have no notes. - A ghost note sits on the row it sounds with: its own transpose, less the transpose of the item the pattern was opened from. - The roll draws them grey, without an edge, under the notes. Resting on one names its track and its pattern. - The header has a Ghosts switch, on by default, and names where they come from, e.g. "Tune · Bass · bar 5". - The time axis pans back to the start of the song, with bar and grid lines before the pattern. Fit still frames only the pattern. - A click or a paste outside the pattern no longer lands. Before, only the time left of bar 1 was closed, notes could still be drawn past the end, where they are kept but never played. - The rounds of a pattern item are now worked out in one place, itemNotes() in song.ts, which songSequence() and the ghost notes share. Tests: - Unit ghosts (new): 5 green. Counter-check with the round edited not left out and the own transpose not taken off: 2 red. - Unit piano-roll: 1 new (pan back to the song, lines before bar 1). Counter-check without the song's start: red. - e2e 65 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED - 38 checks (3 new). The first run was red on the tooltip check: the ghost note it rested on lay a fifth up, outside the rows Fit frames. The test now uses a tone. - e2e 64 (melektaus-atx): ALL PASSED - 30 checks. - Gate (melektaus-atx): CHECK EXIT 0, 260 files, 4027 tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Zoom with the wheel and set the loop on its own strip in music tabs
The ruler of the Pattern and Song tabs did two things with one drag,
and the wheel did three things with Alt and Shift. Both now do one
thing each, and the Song tab gets a few edits it was missing.
- The ruler has a loop strip along its top. A drag there sets the
loop, a press or drag below it moves only where playing starts.
- The wheel only zooms: the time over the grid, lanes and ruler, the
rows over the keys, the tracks over their heads. Alt and Shift no
longer change it. A middle-drag still pans.
- Tracks can be zoomed from 28 to 160 px. Below 46 px a head shows
only its name, M and S. An old saved view gets the old height.
- A click on nothing in the lanes picks the song itself.
- A right-click on an item opens a menu with Delete instead of
deleting it. The inspector has no delete buttons any more.
- A sound item goes up to +12 dB, a track up to +12 dB. A pattern
item stays at 0 dB, since a note is held to unity.
- An end of an item under the pointer lights up and shows a resize
cursor. A long item marks every point where it starts over.
- The Pattern tab has an Audition switch in its header, off at first.
Only with it on does a note sound when drawn, grabbed or moved.
The keys down the left sound either way.
- A looped sound item draws every round alike. Each round is drawn
from its own start, and each column shows the loudest part of the
sound it covers instead of one sampled bucket.
- A song is at least one bar long instead of four. An empty song
fits that bar across, and Play song ends after the last item.
- The ghost notes held back in #334 got their own issue, #339.

Lay patterns and sounds out on tracks and play them as a song #334
Patterns could only be heard one at a time, in their own tab or from a behavior. A song lays patterns and sounds out on tracks along one time axis and plays them through the scheduler of #332, the third piece of the music tools of #330. - New asset type song under the heading Songs, with four empty tracks, 120 BPM in 4/4 and a grid of a bar. Tempo, meter and grid are rows in the inspector. Tracks, items and the loop are the asset's data, held to their rules on load and in every command. - A track has a name, volume, pan, mute and solo. Each is heard on a bus of its own, so a change reaches what is sounding at once. - A pattern item repeats its pattern for as long as it is, with a transpose and another instrument if wanted. A sound item plays its sound as a clip at its own speed, round and round, through a sound FX if wanted. Both have a volume on top of their track's. - Cut back at the left end or split, an item starts as far into what it plays as the cut is: ticks into a pattern, seconds into a sound. - The tab shows the heads with M, S, volume and pan, the ruler of the Pattern tab and the items, a pattern with its notes, a sound with its waveform, a missing asset red. Patterns and sounds are dragged in from the Assets panel. Body, right and left end move, lengthen and cut back, Alt leaves the grid. Ctrl+C/V/D/A, Ctrl+E splits where playing starts, Delete, arrows. A double-click opens a pattern item in its tab. - What is picked is a new selection of its own, so the inspector shows the item or the track, with a button to delete it. - The scheduler plans clips beside notes. Where the playhead starts or jumps back inside a clip, it is taken up that far into its sound. A clip fades out at the end of its item or of the loop. - The editor plays one piece at a time: a pattern started stops the song and the other way round. - The rules are pure functions in core/music/song, editor/song/ songView and songEdit.

Draw notes for an instrument in a piano roll and loop them #333
Notes could only be played one at a time, by a key or a behavior. A pattern is a stretch of notes for one instrument, drawn in a piano roll and played in time through the scheduler of #332. Songs (#334) will lay patterns out on tracks. - New asset type pattern under the heading Patterns. Instruments are listed under Instruments now, since a heading is one per type. - Notes are a start and a length in ticks, a note number and a velocity, kept to their rules on load and in every command. The instrument, the length in bars, the grid, the meter and the tempo are rows in the inspector. The loop is the asset's own data, the whole pattern while none is set. - Grids from 1/1 to 1/32 and the triplets 1/4T to 1/32T, all whole ticks. The meter only moves the bar lines, the notes stay put. - The tab shows the keys down the left, a ruler with bars, beats, loop and start along the top, the notes between them and a velocity lane below. Keys the instrument plays nothing for are grey, the names of a drum kit stand on its keys. - A click draws a note on the grid line before the pointer, as long as the last one drawn or lengthened and as hard as the last velocity set. The body moves a note, the right end lengthens it, Alt leaves the grid. A drag on empty grid picks with a band, Shift adds, a right-click deletes. - Keys: Space plays, Delete, Ctrl+C/V/D/A, the arrows by a semitone or a grid step and with Shift by an octave or a bar. A paste lands where playing starts. Every gesture is one undo step. - A click on the ruler sets where playing starts, a drag the loop or one of its ends, its menu loops a bar or the whole pattern. - The wheel scrolls, Shift across, on the ruler or with Alt it zooms. Ctrl+wheel stays with the browser, Pixi listens passively. - Play runs the loop through the scheduler. An edit goes to it on the next window without a restart, a new loop or tempo counts from what is planned. Another pattern shown or a project opened stops it. - The time axis and the ruler are their own pieces in editor/music for the song tab. The rules of the roll are pure functions in rollView and rollEdit. Findings: - Music.play could start after a stop that came while it was still loading its files. A run counter makes the late start give up. Music.edit now loads what a new note needs as well. - A click on an end of the loop would have set the loop again. A press there only moves the end once it is dragged. Tests: - pattern.test.ts (new, 9) and piano-roll.test.ts (new, 16): model, grids, meter, held notes, sequence, commands, loop, round trip, drum names, time lines, rows, hits, bands, lane, edit rules. - e2e 64 (new) on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 20 checks. e2e 4 with 29 asset types: ALL PASSED, 62 checks. - Gate on melektaus-atx: CHECK EXIT 0, 247 test files, 3839 tests. - Counter-checks: the move without its clamp, the sequence without the end of the pattern, the duplicate offset without whole grid steps each fail 1 test. Without passing edits to the scheduler the e2e check for a note drawn while playing fails, the rest passes. - Probe on stein2: the tab with a drum kit, before and while playing, looked at in two screenshots.
