Development update (June 23)

The latest commit just adds a single node type.

What's new

MIDI Looper node

This node can record a few beats of MIDI events and plays them back in a time-synced loop.

For now only the most basic features are implemented. I plan to do another pass on this node at some later time to extend the features (e.g. multiple "patches", editing MIDI events in the pianoroll widget, etc.).

It does feature a new pianoroll widget, which is just read-only for now and displays the recorded MIDI events. After adding editing features to this widget, I might be able to reuse it for a pianoroll track, which I'm planning to add anyway.

And it is the first time that noisicaä can record something in realtime. Consider this a first prototype of future recording capabilities.

Bug fixes

• There were .pyi files missing for two cython modules. After adding those, mypy uncovered some minor bugs.

Internal changes

• Initial infrastructure showing the node UIs in a dialog window. That needs some more work. Eventually it should be possible to pop out the UI to a window for every node.

• Some infrastructure to persist Qt properties in the project's session data.
