Beta test

[leavittx]

Hi there!
I guess I will post the list of problems I've experienced as a user trying to test the app as a first issue here :)
First, there was a build error, I had to replace a line in src/ui/clip_editor.cpp:

 814-     bool muted = contain_bit(flags, MidiNoteFlags::Muted);
 814+      bool muted = contain_bit(flags, MidiNoteFlags::Deactivated);

Next, the Vulkan validation layer seems to require some additional setup, which I'm not aware of, so I had to disable it in the code.
I propose to keep it disabled by default (and developers can enable it). My workaround was in src/gfx/renderer_vulkan.cpp

const char* instance_layer = nullptr;

  VkInstanceCreateInfo instance_info{
    .sType = VK_STRUCTURE_TYPE_INSTANCE_CREATE_INFO,
    .pApplicationInfo = &app_info,
-     .enabledLayerCount = 1,
+    .enabledLayerCount = 0,
    .ppEnabledLayerNames = &instance_layer,
    .enabledExtensionCount = (uint32_t)enabled_extensions.size(),
    .ppEnabledExtensionNames = enabled_extensions.data(),
  };

Next, the app started, and I found the timeline with tracks, but couldn't load any samples to it - drag and drop of wav/ogg files didn't work.
May there be a hint on how to load samples in the readme?

On second app start, the windows seemed to got undocked, and everything looked quite strange - attaching a screenshot.
Also there is a lot of visual clutter from the test controls/widgets.

Hmmm.. I think i merged them incorrectly. It has been fixed, latest commit will come soon.

I will disable it on release build, the debug build will have the validation layer enabled.

Currently you have to do it on the Browser window (you need to add your sample directory first). The drag and drop from other applications is currently in the works.

Due to my current limited time, I don't have time to write the documentation. But it will come soon!

The window predocking is currently disabled. There is a known problem that causes it to crash after you exit the app while the main window is maximized. I will re-enable it when i found the solution of the problem.

Also there is a lot of visual clutter from the test controls/widgets.

I don't see any visual clutter there and that's how it's supposed to look, can you elaborate on this?

Thanks!
Regarding the visual clutter, I meant the "Test Controls" and "Dear Imgui Demo" windows

Yes, like I said, there is a problem with the window predocking. It will be fixed soon.
