Rando 2.1 Beta - Round #4

Hi all,

We had a great week wrapping up the preset manager for the keyboard designer. Thanks to all your great suggestions, we made it work more intuitively!

The next two weeks, we will be focusing on tackling more bugs and finalising the new Audio Classification Routine.

I am very pleased to announce that we have found a way to keep Rando's fast scanning while doing audio classification in the background, so you are not hindered as a user!

More news will follow once this has been implemented!

Changes made this week:

- Fix clearing a note resets whether a note is assigned as empty
- In search settings, only allow dragging a sample from in between the buttons
- Fix scrolling in the left side of the search settings when mouse is over a category or location
- Double click to reset keyboard layout
- In keyboard designer view, disable and dim all controls if no key is selected
- Fix bpm sync for previewed samples
- Dragging a loop from the keyboard to a sequencer step automatically sets the length to the sequencer number of steps
- Change the default note for new sequencer steps to the currently selected note
- Do not show warning for sample locations that are being scanned
- Improve warning message for sample locations
- Add instructions label for keyboard designer
- Display estimated time remaining for sample locations scans
- Improve performance of sample insert
- In search settings, cancel the previous samples retrieve query if it is no longer needed
- In keyboard designer, clicking outside of the keyboard clears the selection

There are still some tweaks I want to have made in the designer, but that will alos be done this week!
