1.3.2 released - Gamepad support!


In this version, we mainly supported game controller input. It's originally aimed at composing on handheld game consoles, i.e. Steam Deck support. Now it basically works on the Steam Deck, but there are still some issues and it's not fully finished yet. (see known issues)

However, on other PCs, there is probably no problem, and the controller operation is very fun, so we decided to release the current stage.

Also, we can only test on a very small number of devices, so we would appreciate it if you could send us a performance report on other PCs or mobile game PCs.

Changes

  • Support for game controller input  ...  You can play easier with Steam Deck etc.
  • Home tab added  ...  Quit or resetting the app for gamepads, Moved SNS buttons, etc.
  • System settings added  ...  Gamepad settings and Full screen switch.


Known issues when running with Steam Deck

When performing a process that takes a little time to operate, the operation to release the button may not be detected and the button may be kept pressed. You have to press the same button several times to get out of that state (switch song, play/stop, partial edit while playing).

The biggest problem is the song selection, which sometimes gets stuck when I press a button. Selecting songs with SELECT + L1 / R1 keys works well at present.


Gamepads Button Layout

  • D-pad / Left analog stick  ......  Move the cursor. The default speed can be changed in system settings.
  • A  ......  Left click
  • B  ......  Right click
  • X  ......  Shift key (used in combination with other buttons)
  • Y  ......  Play/stop song
  • L1/R1  ......  Move page
  • L2/R2  ......  Change cursor speed while pressing. When you want to input the pitch accurately, it is less likely to make a mistake while pressing R2.
  • X + Y  ......  page loop on/off
  • X + (L / R)  ......  Undo/Redo
  • X + (left / right)  ......  Part selection
  • X + (up / down)  ......  Tool selection
  • SELECT + (L / R)  ......  Song selection
  • SELECT + (X / Y)   ......  select edit mode (note/volume/pan)
  • SELECT + START + L + R  ......  Quit the app
  • SELECT + START + X + Y  ......  Initialize all user settings

The ABXY button layout can be switched between left and right.

Press Initialize settings when you can't operate anything, such as when the controller settings are disconnected by mistake.
