What I suggested earlier would perfectly cover that and everything else.
You can snap to anything if you have support for custom grid/snap based on the timing of sequences and use that as a template for quantizing or for the shown grid. Could even cover irregular rhytm templates stretching over several bars or just one bar. That would be the swiss army knife of quantizing.

Each moment I think more in this. I don’t use quantization at all, maybe for some drums, but only few times. But for these people that does another music kind that need quantization this could be the same that talk with God. I think that is a brilliant feature that would allow write with lighning speed quantized melodies and drums.

I could do a custom grid with the minimun grid space that I want for avoid confusions even. 🙄

With some of the ideas here, Podium could have the most advanced and direct (not too much menus) piano roll I’ve see in my life.

Best regards 😀

And I can imagine some ppl might not even want an extra drag on resources when working plugged in, because they prefer a quiet environment when making music (no fan kicking in etc.) or, if given the choice, prefer to run one plugin instance more instead of “eye candy”.

I’m agree with you. But you have to think that there are some graphic features that are helpful for do music, and other doesn’t. I think shadow notes are a example about a helpful graphic feature. FL Studio’s Fruity Dance are the king of unhelpful graphic feature. Anyway Frits had kept it optional.

I sleep four hour lol I cannot sleep thinking into compose with this piano roll, I’m really impressed. Thx you again!

Wow, popular topic 🙂

The piano roll, and the clip sequencer is the most important part of the most DAW 🙂

@Zynewave wrote:

Three new options in the piano roll region properties:
“Colorize notes with track colors”
“Draw notes with shadow effect”
“Audition notes when clicking and editing”

Alt+clicking any ghost note shown in the piano roll timeline will switch the editor to the corresponding sequence.

The clicked horizontal position on the keyboard controls the attack velocity of the audtioned note.

My first son will be called Frits, in Spain even 😛
I can see everything crystal clear, I can change really quick between clips! Thanks you a lot!

Btw. this is fun to work on. It’s been years since I implemented the old piano roll editor. The new stuff like the rescalable photographic keyboard and the note shadow effect is only practically possible with todays faster PCs. That being said, if some of you find that the the “draw notes with shadow effect” option is markedly slowing down your UI, please say so. I will then consider having the shadow option disabled by default.

It’s also exciting for me, a piano roll lover. Things about gridlines fix I suggested, or InLine Midi editor, redimension multiple notes, or quantization that other suggest could do the Podium piano roll the best avaliable in the market, better that FL Studio even.

Thanks you again! muchas gracias! 😀

suddenly people are asking for this on the Reaper forum too

Thats also LiquidProj3ct like in the Orion forum. 😉

Yeah, it’s me. I bought Orion before heard anything of Podium (“Podium? what’s that?”), only because 7.5b has ghost notes. But they removed them from the beta and I feel so depresed with Orion.

Believe me, once you use them you don’t want another thing! 🙂 It’s much more quick that EnergyXT inline midi editor, because you haven’t to compare different pitch. This is more visible when you use a new scale. I only work with simple midi pitching and minor velocity or property changes (as the most trance/techno/dance amateur musicians).

Exactly. (but you mean minimal grid, don’t you?).

Yes I do, sorry my english sometimes fails 😛

3D notes?? who say that? 😀 Me not 😛

Let’s play to differences

Frits, I don’t want to annoy you, but I honestly think that these ideas i’m gonna to suggest (and repeat) are very good ones:

Actual piano roll Podium v 2.09 beta 1:

Sugested piano roll:

1. minimal grid = snap value
When you have a grid with more resolution that actual snap value it can confuse the user where he should draw notes.

2. semitransparent colours for ghost notes
It’s pretty comfortable see them with their colours. Then you can find easily without mute channels where is your chord progresion… etc Also Ctrl+Double Click on them would open the corresponding clip in the same piano roll.

3. 3D notes
They’re done with Paint :), if you like the second idea this wold be very useful for differenciate between the notes you’re working and the notes that are ghost notes.

Best regards 🙂
