Hi Everybody.
My quick reference guide talks about a software version 1.0.10. Today with the new versions of the soft we have a lot of new lights on new keys. Could I have more information about some of them and how to use them :

- In Recorder Controls : there is a red light in key 109.
- In Advanced Midi out 1 & 2 : they are 4 new lights (keys 19, 41, 42 and 43).
- When I switch the Scales Controls (key 4), I've got a Scales Controls page with 8 orange keys (keys 85, 86, 87, 88, 107, 108, 109 et 110).
- In Pedals Controls : they are 4 orange lights (keys 19, 20, 41 et 42).

Thank you and Merry Christmas

You better open Eigenbrowser and EigenCommander and click on those keys, to see what happens... ( the keys give feedback)

For more info I'm glad to help out..

Sorry if I was a bit harsh...
More info about the volume pedals control - Volume pedal

"I've got a Scales Controls page with 8 orange keys (keys 85, 86, 87, 88, 107, 108, 109 et 110). "

As I've started with a PICO, I know they are used to set the scales.
Those keys are slots for choosing the scales.
I think it's some how missing from the ALPHA reference guide
Check the PICO quick reference - page 4
From the - Pico Factory-Setup manual-
(The LEDs of the keys that browse the scales for each key are lit amber, with the current selection lit green.)

Thanks for all the comments, we'll be updating the User Guide in light of them after the holidays.

I hope you are enjoying as much as I am the ALPHA...
I needed a change as musician, and by now I'm like 101% dedicated to the ALPHA and EigenD (leave 1% for the PICO, so he doesn't get too angry with me)

I think for those who can help out, it's the least, so we can get new features and functions, from the Belcanto guru's and Eigenlabs programmers.

Let's see if Eigenlabs Santa could give as the IOS app around Christmas !!!

What a spirit !!! I sort of did that two month ago, now I just stay up very late and some days go to beed with the sun rise !

Just let me know any doubt... I'll try my best to hep out ( if I can).

I'm relaxing a bit changing the PICO setting of STAGE (1.3.7) to use with the ALPHA...

STAGE it's a fantastic companinon to the harp's!!

pic 2 - Mixer

repeat 2...Let's see if Eigenlabs Santa could give as the IOS app around Christmas !!!

Ah, sorry Keyman, pretty much everyone in the dev team is now on holiday. The prospect of the IOS Stage beta test kicking off before they get back is smaller than slim I'm afraid. First couple of weeks of the New Year though should see some progress, Aaron has now collected all the device ID's from interested participants.

Have a great Christmas.

Hi 0beron

At the moment one can import any tab created by someone else. When stage is run (or a new tab imported) it tries to connect the widgets to the named port in the named agent, the names being the Belcanto names of the ports and agents. So if you have a widget connected to the pan port in channel one of the console mixer 1 in a setup for a Pico and import that to an Alpha setup with a 'console mixer 1', a channel 1 in there and a pan control in that channel, it should seamlessly connect to that. There is a new function in Stage that allows one to make widget connections the other way (from a disconnected widget back to the Agent/Port browser) but I don't know how to get this to work yet, its experimental and I don't think it'll get formally released into 1.3 Unstable now until the New Year. Until that is released you won't be able to fix unconnected widgets in an imported tab, you just have to delete them and recreate them for now.

All this stuff is in some flux at the moment as we're just discovering how to use Stage at about the same rate you are and it is driving software development fairly hard - every time Dave and I build or use some tabs we come up with new 'nice to haves' and an element of triage is needed now as we'd like to move 1.3 into formal Testing shortly. At the moment we don't plan that many new things in Stage before that point, just the ability to set parameter increments (which is done but not yet publicly released, I'm running a version that does that now), disconnected widget reconnection and maybe the ability to connect the lights on widgets up, to get Talker feedback working, though this is a definite 'maybe'. Those things and a full set of tabs for all the factory setups and we'll be done with 1.3 I think.

@jeanphy and @0beron
Those STAGE tabs appeared like magic with the new 1.3.7 PICO setup 1 only, with it there is also a new PICO setup 2 (with 4 VST/AU and 4 MIDI out)
So, they are not mine in anyway (of course).

They are truly a gift in it self ! (someone call it a Christmas gift, please!)
Lucky PICO player's / STAGE user's out there...

What I said yesterday (and by now John explain it even better) I'm using a similar layout and config it for the ALPHA from scratch, only a few settings are equal between ALPHA, TAU and PICO.
