I do like the ‘preview’ image,
but perhaps if this is taking time to load we could just have a more utilitarian ‘list’ view.
perhaps each line is a small icon, name, author, date last updated.
categorisation would be really handy, I think hardware / software would be a great start.
of course, categorisation means that we need to start collecting more meta data during upload.
e.g. is it hardware or software, upload date, version number, manufacturer…
this would be good to do now, as theres are a managable number of presets to update now manually… but this number is going to continue to grow, and so makes this task harder in the future.
also can we have a section for instrument defintiion files.
I dont really use presets, rather I build ‘custom’ presets from instruments. these are kind of pointless to share (who else needs a preset that has Octatrack + Vahalla Reverb + Aalto!)
But, Id be happy to share these instrument files, which I think are useful to others.
we only need ability to upload/download these eif files
( since you cannot directly upload to E1)
also I think perhaps get rid of the ‘instruments’ section in this forum,
I find it pretty confusing, its generally just duplicating whats in the library.
perhaps that forum category could be more generalised into something like ‘community contributions’?
there we can share other things we are developing or doing with the E1.
