    Nitpicks: The grid color behaves slightly differently in the editors than in the arrangement view. Looks like they don’t use the exact same timeline fill color. I also don’t like the horizontal note divisions too much.

    It’s the same code that paints the vertical grid lines in all editors. The grid lines are however painted with translucency (~50% for bar lines) onto the background, so if you see a difference, then it should be because the background in the editors are different.

    Beta12 seems cool, I cannot wait to try it with drums πŸ™‚

    However if you’re going to delete the current drum roll to merge both editors, please make sure we could unselect all keys to be showed with a single stroke (or a button) and we’re able to read names from plugin, as we can do now.

    Had that already posted in the support forum, but deleted there, because here is a better place:

    For me adjusting velocities is much easier by seeing the current value with numbers…

    In the editor we have this nice numeric window for “mouse cursor”…would it be much work to implement a numeric value for note velocity????

    This would be a big helper…

    With the save/load key map function, I hope the map can still be saved with a track template, like you suggested earlier.

    – When using the note editor windowed, right-clicking on the keys opens another note map window each time. It works normally in the embedded editor.

    – Right-clicking left of the keys (in the “GBP column”) in a windowed editor opens the note map window, but doesn’t in the embedded editor.

    While we’re on the subject of zoom and slide shortcuts:
    can you make ctrl+mousewheel zoom the time line and alt + mousewheel zoom the track heights?

    These modifiers currently don’t do anything and you have no idea how many times per minute I try to zoom the timeline using the mousewheel.

    Use the same key shortcuts that is used to activate the mouse click zoom tools (as well as the new key shortcuts): Ctrl+Alt+wheel to zoom the timeline, and Ctrl+Shift+wheel to zoom the height. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+wheel to zoom both directions. By using these key shortcuts you even get the mouse cursor showing the corresponding zoom action.

    kyran maybe this helps: think how you would do with an iphone. If you put your fingers in horizontal (ctrl-alt): horizontal zoom, vertical(ctrl-shift): vertical zoom, both (ctrl -alt-shift): both zoom.

    I find this system perfect, i get used in no time.

    And you learn something new everyday: I didn’t know this and it never occurred to me to try it. Not very discoverable, but if it works, it works πŸ˜€

    Thanks πŸ™‚

    Because you were working already to improve the Pianoroll editor:

    WhatΒ΄s for me very long-winded to do is editing velocities…(again πŸ™‚ )…

    What about expanding the “Adjust timing” dialog with parameters for velocity, where you can change the velocities of the selection (or all) on a fixed value, random values, adding/substracting a certain amount or perhaps “compress/ expand” the velocity “dynamic”…

    That would turn the existing “Adjust timing” dialog not only into a full featured “Humanizing” dialog, but would add on an easy way a very powerfull velocity tool rather than editing every velocity handle by mouse, especially because of the lack of a line tool to draw ….

    What do you think of that??? I would find this quite handy…

    I think I’ve found a bug. If you add a track while default tag “Track” is exclusively selected from a template it cannot be unnasigned to “Track” tag. This only happens with track templates which don’t have any instrument assigned.

    Also, do returns works with templates?

    I’ve been planning to add an “Adjust Velocity” dialog to the note editor edit menu. This would have all the options that you mention. Joining all the velocity options and value fields with the existing Adjust Timing dialog can make that dialog fairly big. To have the “preview” option make sense, I’d prefer that the dialog isn’t so big that it will cover much of the note editor.

    Do others think it is important that you have timing and velocity adjustments in a single dialog?

    And I shoud remember you that “snap to previous grid line” doesn’t work fine when moving events, it should work as “snap to closest grid line” does while it’s moving events. Well, I think πŸ˜‰

    Do others think it is important that you have timing and velocity adjustments in a single dialog?

    I think they’re related, so yes, it does.

    ignore snap (shift key) doesn’t work dragging clips/files from inspector and browser, bug?
