Status: Draft

## Regular update from the development process
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We did a short consultation in the Matrix channel and decided there will be regular development updates. This is the first one.
|
||||||
|
This is to inform the community whats currently worked on and which discussions are going on in the background. If you are interested
|
||||||
|
in joining these discussions, feel free to enter our Matrix room or IRC channel or just write an E-Mail!
|
||||||

||||||
|
## Custom Meters
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Until now Loopp only allowed to use 4/4 bars. From now on its possible to change the meter in the settings. Its not stable yet and needs
|
||||||
|
testing. If you are interested in helping out with testing this, get in touch! Besides technically testing for bugs we are also happy
|
||||||
|
for some feedback regarding the workflow.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Time synchronisation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another decision we made after some testing and discussions affects synchronising Loopp with other applications or even hardware. Until
|
||||||
|
now, Loopp supported Jack Transport as synchronisation protocol. But there were always bugs. One reason for this is that Jack Transport
|
||||||
|
does not support looping, making it work requires some workarounds, which always get us into trouble in the edge cases.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So we decided to drop the support for Jack Transport in favor of Ableton Link. Thats a protocol which is designed with looping applications
|
||||||
|
in mind. The implementation has not started yet, but it might be part of the next release already.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Big changes in the background
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are some feature requests which needs some deep changes to get implemented. Examples might be a GUI which allows Drag and Drop of Clips,
|
||||||
|
Midi clips or the headless mode. This is why we started a refactoring of the core components to make it more flexible.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please note, this is a long term project in the background. This probably wont get into one of the next releases.
