Most drum plugin editors have mute/solo buttons in their UI, but I assume it’s more convenient to have the buttons close at hand when working with the pattern in the drum map editor. Is convenience the primary reason for you to have mute/solo in the drum map editor?

Yes, it’s faster than open the plugin gui and very very very comfortable.

Besides having mute/solo as a way of auditioning elements in a drum loop, would you use the mute/solo states as a fixed part in the final loop? In other words, would you leave some notes soloed/muted once you’re done working on the loop?

Yes, I could need change it later. i never know when I’m going to need do a change until I finish the song, having those drums muted allow me “save” small ideas to quick recall them (unless while podium doesn’t support something like a pattern poll)

1. Allow unused notes to be hidden by default? At the top and bottom of a list of drum note names is a list of notes that really should be hidden….

I wanted the default map to include all 128 notes, in case you have a specialized drum map that goes beyond the GM convention. Or even if you just switch to the drum map for a regular note sequence, for specific editing.

2. When using 5 or 6 drum lanes / notes it would be much easier to hide drum note names that are not being used. So all you see is the notes being used. Just 5 o 6 in this example.

How should Podium know which ones you want to use? When you start out with an empty sequence, it can’t hide all drum lines. For specific drum map layouts, the way to do it is still with drum kit presets, where you can arrange the keys any way you like. I’m going to improve that feature as well, so that you don’t have to do it the old way.

I suggested here that notes in drum roll should be used as tracks in arrangement view [added and templates=presets]. Maybe you could create a “ghost” preset for each track in drum mode. I find that’s a mess use lots of notes when you only want few.

Please allow customization too, at least name and note to be played without go to the “dark corner” to edit them.

Should the note mute/solo work like the track mute/solo in the mixer? In other words, what should the mute/solo information be attached to? If the mute/solo state is a property of the track, then all sequences on the track will play with that mute/solo state. Switching back to a piano-roll editor, should then reset the solo/mute states I assume, or else you could get confusing situations where some notes in your piano-roll mysteriously is not playing.

I understand that if a user is doing music he must be enough intelligent to know this 🙂 Anyway you could use semitransparent mute/solos in the track when some of their notes are muted or soloed, I think it will help

edit: if you find to hard to program one preset for each track you could also hide notes in the same way we do with plugin parameters nowadays.

For me these are intuitive, but at the moment they cannot replace the mouse:

– Shift+Alt+ArrowKeys to slide.
– Shift+Home/End to slide to the top/bottom.
– Alt+Home/End to slide to the start/end.
– Ctrl+Shift+Alt+ArrowKeys to zoom in/out.

– End to center vertically on the current selection.

Could it be automatic each time you open a piano roll /drum roll editor please?

• Added “auto-audition” option button to the file browser toolbar.

Thanks 🙂

To be honest, prior to meet Podium I used similar keys in another hosts to mangle boring arpeggios or melodies

It seems too many work learn all those shortcuts, but maybe it deserves try it, because without try them I’m not sure about the quote

I was waiting a lot an update like this one. Thanks you!!

Humblely, I feel very grateful. Podium 2.30 is changing for me my workflow with Podium in a way I was dreaming tons of time ago. Now I don’t need tools, I can work only with pencil tool. Well, the RMB is useless and could be used for another task. There was a sequencer called Temper where you can assign any editor tool you to any mouse button, I’d like to assign delete tool to RMB. But I think it’s enough for this update, maybe in a future I don’t want overload you with requests 😉
