+ 4 new ball operations in the Mondrian instrument
1501

  + Apply per ball
1503

1504
 
1505
  + Turn
1506
    + randomly turns a ball clockwise or anti-clockwise by some degrees
1507
    + does it Every few seconds
1508
    + Clockwise is max degrees the ball will turn clockwise
1509
    + Anti-clockwise is max degrees the ball will turn anti-clockwise
1510
    + Sync keeps Clockwise and Anti-clockwise same for turning equally likely in both directions
1511
 
1512
  + Speed
1513
    + randomly speeds up or slows down a ball
1514
    + does it Every few seconds
1515
    + Brake = how much to slow down each time
1516
    + Accelerate = how much to speed up each time
1517
    + Sync keeps Brake and Accelerate same for equally likely speed changes
1518

1525
    + clones the selected ball
1526
    + Offsets it away from the parent
1527
    + Every few seconds
1528
    + upto Max Clones
1529
    + when turned on, Clone can clone too
1530
      + careful, because clone's clone will clone too
1531
        + and its clone will clone too
1532
          + and on
1533
            + and on
1534
              + and on!
1535
    + Max balls keeps cloning under control
1536
      + Or select all balls, wait for the new clones to appear and delete selection.
1537
        + this leaves just the new clones
1538
          + but labor intensive :)

- !fixed crash! when moving whole curve on the curve editor
1628
  - introduced in DIN28. not in earlier versions.
1629
- !new! mouse slider
1630
  - activate by just clicking on a spinner's name.
1631
    - most spinners everywhere qualify:
1632
      - menu, plugins
1633
        - even settings screen
1634
          - try changing the key note while making sounds on your chosen instrument :)
1635
            - works well on Microtonal Keyboard & Mondrian
1636
      - note: some spinners are disabled, nothing happens when you click them.
1637
  - change the value of the spinner by simply moving the mouse along the mapped axis: X or Y [can be both too, see below]
1638
  - you can attach multiple spinners to the mouse slider and change the value of multiple parameters at the same time!
1639
    - just shift+click to add a spinner to the mouse slider
1640
      - shift+clicking doesnt activate the mouse slider yet.
1641
    - the attached spinner turns green
1642
    - detach the already attached spinner by shift+clicking on it again.
1643
      - the detached spinner reverts to red
1644
    - to launch the slider just click ie dont press shift on the last spinner
1645
    - with multiple spinners on the mouse slider, movement along both X and Y can change the values of appropriately mapped spinners.
1646
    - to stop the mouse slider just click or press ESC.
1647
    - changing the axis assigned to a spinner is not possible in this release
1648
  - things to try:
1649
    - make a group of drones
1650
    - select
1651
      - FM and AM depth spinners or
1652
      - FM and AM BPM spinners
1653
      - or all of them at the same time :)
1654
      - FM mapped to X
1655
      - AM mapped to Y
1656
      - move along X, Y to do visual drone FM, AM!
1657
    - select these drones and launch drones from them: Menu > Drone tools >Launch
1658
    - select Change velocity and Rotate velocity spinners
1659
      - move along X to rotate velocity
1660
      - move along Y to increase/decrease velocity
1661
      - loud crazy action :)
1662
    - play with drone life times:
1663
      - Menu > Drone tools > Select launchers
1664
      - Menu > Drone parameters > Change lifetime
1665
        - move in X!

2319
  so that main thread is not writing the same buffer the audio thread wants to read.  if all buffers are written
2320
