Transport buttons are a bit too far from the Drum Machine in Portrait mode

Postby drey08 » Wed Nov 05, 2025 11:11 am

Hi,

First of all I'd like to compliment you on the work on G-Stomper Studio, I've been using it for a few months and I'm really happy with it!

I've been using it in Portrait mode on a tablet recently. It's great that I can see much more information this way.

But it's uncomfortable to have the transport buttons in the top-right corner. They're too far to reach, and often the tablet is the physically unstable when the top is pressed against, at least with most folding tablet cases.

It's a bit tricky. It's useful at the top when editing the song arrangement because it's near, but when editing steps in the Drum Machine it's too far.

Maybe a better option would be to have a separate play pattern button in the Drum Machine? But I don't see any space where you could cram that button in.

The alternative would be to allow moving the main bar containing the transport controls to the bottom of the screen.

Anyway not a super big deal, thanks for reading~

From what I read, I think you're using G-Stomper Producer, not G-Stomper Studio.
In G-Stomper Studio, the transport controls move along with the drum machine.

However, I see the point, and we'll keep that as feature to be considered.
It also hits me from time to time that I expect it closer to the instrument module.
Moving the top bar around could be an feasible option.

Thanks again for the report.

Yes that's right, I confused the two. :)

Thanks for considering the feature request!
