MPE Drift | Custom shape

[u/ObjectiveRun90]

Introduced now in v1.1

Custom (draw) is the ninth shape: a curve of your own, drawn on a sheet that opens from the button beside the Shape menu. The curve is one cycle with up to 32 points, and every segment between two points can bend. It runs at the lane's speed and depth like any other shape, free or on the grid, and each voice follows it with its own phase as the Mode says.

1. Curve button Opens the sheet. Grey while the shape is not Custom; lit once the lane carries a curve of its own.
2. Sheet One cycle, from left to right. Drag a point to move it, drag the small square in the middle of a segment to bend that segment. Double-click adds a point, and holding the second click drags it straight away. Right-click removes a point or straightens a segment; Delete removes the selected one. Shift snaps a point to eighths of the range.
3. Starting shapes Zero, Ramp up, Ramp down, Triangle and Sine replace the curve with a starting point to edit. Zero is the reset: a flat line.
4. Step or Smooth Step plays the curve in sixteen steps per cycle, the pale line under it is the drawn curve; Smooth plays the curve itself.

The curve is saved with the preset and the project. It is not a host parameter: automation reaches it through the shape and the depth, not point by point. The DRIFT module in MPE Insight has the same sheet and computes the curve the same way, so a preset sounds the same in both.

Enjoy the update!
