nomnomnomHi
i just wanted to say Podium is GOOD! I really like the latest version, even your demo limits, mainly fadeout is annoying 😛
Couple things which i notice;
Swing, if you apply swing, and then move your notes, it’s automaticly snap it. So you lost your swing. Kinda bad thing. Ye, i can always turn snap off, but turning it off and on repeatedly takes lot’s of time.. Moving swing notes on snap on, snap should be ignored.
Duplicate doesn’t work as it should be. Example, if you have pile of notes and then press insert (duplicate) it’s only duplicate one note. Bug..? eh.. Should fix.´soon.
Also if i have 4 midi clips on the row, then i highlight last one, and then copy paste it, it paste it OVER 1 midi clip. It should move it automaticly next to number 4 midiclip, so the new midiclip is number 5.
As a FL Studio user i have used to use “best piano roll”, luckily Podium’s pianoroll is good too! However, i am little shocked that i cannot stretch notes on that cursor tool. It can do everything else, but not stretch? Eh, why? I can stretch notes by holding alt, but it is slow..
About Gui, it is way too “sharp”. By making corners more “softer” would help a lot. IMO.
Pros,
Podium sounds very good! Really professional sound.
Podium is unique! which is really good thing.
i love that mousewheel zooming on under timeline. I really like how it behave.
Good work for one man job. Some little things to make different, and podium would be best ever!

Not sure what you mean… Moving notes preserves the quantization settings over here. Do you perhaps mean single notes?

This is what Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V are for – copying multiple events. You can also hold Ctrl while click-dragging events to create copies, and Alt to create phantom copies.

This, in turn, is what the INSERT key is for. 😉
Use it to duplicate one event – it will always be added after the original event, and never overlap.

Zynewave has a tendency to rotate the area of development focus, and will work on one area until it’s pretty much perfect. At the moment, it’s track management’s turn for improval. Please mention it again when the MIDI editor or tool options are on target, and all suggestions will be listened to (though I think you know how it works).
Only Frits himself can tell if there’s any expected time-frame for this.
Sorry… I can’t help but get a feeling of déjà vu.

A “relative snap” option is on the todo list. This will allow you to move events in steps of the grid size, but without snapping the start of the events to the grid lines.
