v0.3.2-vinx.1.4.8

[VinxScorza]

• Extend Chaos with an experimental CHAOS MODE split between Vandalize Sequence and Wreck Pattern, with Wreck Pattern applying a multi-layer, pattern-wide workflow across all Note tracks in the current pattern
• Refine Chaos workflow: both modes enter on ORIGINAL, require explicit CHAOS press before revealing the first generated result, enable A/B preview compare after generation, show dedicated VANDALIZED / WRECKED popups, and no longer force preview from ORIGINAL when editing parameters or matrix targets
• Rework Chaos target behavior: reorder the 4x4 grid, make encoder traversal vertical by column, use per-track First Step / Last Step when no explicit selection exists, and keep the same matrix model in both generator pages and Chaos Defaults
• Add System -> Chaos Defaults with separate Seq Layers to Vandalize and Pat Layers to Wreck, editable via the same 4x4 grid, auto-saved to flash on page exit, preserved across reboot, and refined with dedicated grid-page headers, autosaved settings footer note, and CLOSE on exit
• Add safety improvements before Chaos -> Wreck Pattern: warning popup recommending that the Project be saved before use
• Optimize Chaos reliability and memory: improve re-entry/state handling, limit Vandalize Sequence storage to the active Note sequence only, and rework Wreck Pattern around target-step backups plus in-place preview regeneration
• Rework Euclidean generator controls around A/B, NEW EUCL, and direct Steps / Beats / Offset editing, enforcing Beats <= Steps both in editing and randomization while preserving context menu actions
• Make RESETGEN restore true default parameters instead of rerolling, with Random, Acid, and Euclidean returning to neutral defaults, and refine Random, Acid, and Euclidean preview behavior so parameter edits update preview state coherently without forcing compare mode from ORIGINAL
• Enhance generator UI with stronger contextual labels (ACID PHRASE, ACID LAYER, CHAOS ON SEQ, CHAOS ON PAT) and a compact generator selection page fitting all generators on one screen
• Keep transport (PLAY/STOP, TEMPO) active during generator usage and related modal pages/menus, make the System page land on Settings by default, and reduce temporary message popup duration
• Align startup version string, simulator, Test Drive browser bundle, homepage, manual, and release docs with v0.3.2-vinx.1.4.8

Hi Vinx, this is Rayultine from MW, you wanted me to add this feature request as a reminder:

I have one silly feature request that may not apply to your personal workflow at all:
This setting:
LP Note Style Classic, Circuit Select the Launchpad note editor style.
and possibly this setting:
LP Style Classic, Blue Select Launchpad color scheme.

seem to be project-level settings, which make absolutely no sense to me. Would you be able to change these to machine-persistent/default project settings?

You don't seem to have the "issues" tab available on the git :)

[VinxScorza]

Ouch, sorry! I’m quite new to this platform...
The Issues tab is now ON!
By the way, I was tracking your request on an old papernote :D
I’ll get back to you in a few days.

Actually, it seems that this behavior is still present and persistent on the machine. You just need to save the Settings via the context menu (Shift + Page). I’ve been thinking of adding an autosave function (as it currently works for Chaos Defaults), but that would increase the number of writes to flash memory... even small changes could trigger a write, which might stress the flash over time. Also, while Chaos Default settings are currently autosaved, my intention is to align this with the general behavior in the next release, meaning you’ll need to explicitly Save before exiting the Settings.
I’m also planning to move the SAVE function from the context menu to F2 (which is currently unused), so it will be directly accessible in both Calibration and Settings.
Hope this makes sense!

oh noooo you have to save the settings once you adjust them to get them to be the default? That's really funny and unintuitive. I agree autosaving the settings is probably not necessary. Having the performer prompt you when exiting the settings makes the most sense! Thanks!
