Already done with ideas for the piano roll?
Let’s play. The topic is piano roll…
… and I say:
“Layers.”

“Circular Editor” 😯

Why?
I was more thinking of throwing a basic feature topic in and others would join in with ideas, how it could be utilized.
like:
layers:
– sections on top layers have higher priority and per default cancel out/overwrite whats underneath.
– their order can be rearranged
– can be switched on/off, added , deleted etc
– can add variations for parts without changing the original material
– can be selected as targets for midi plugin performance renderings, again with the advantage of keeping the original midi data
– could do some operations connected to the original data, like filtering, matting, slicing, snapping etc.

something like that.

Pigini…

I think the level of complexity and flexibility Mikes suggestion offers is best used in an advance mode, that is what I was referring to. Even a “Span track” (yes I read his post) or similar is too much complexity potentially for a new user. That is the point I was trying to make. 🙂

Understood. Yes advance mode would be a good place.
Any mode suits me, as long as I can find it. 😉

He said “span” track.
It could look like a clamp, maybe one color for midi clamp, one for audio, a third for both. It does not necessarily need to look like a warped group track flying backwards.

Hmm not a bad idea! But I’d like to say that there are different ways for solving some of the mentioned tasks. For example: audio sends could easily produce the multiband compression. (You already mentioned this)

There are always different ways. Many streets leading to Rom.
Different are the visions of an enjoyable ride.

The point is that there should not be too much ways of achieving something since this adds a probably unwanted complexity to the app. Maybe this becomes more clear if you imagine yourself at a crossway. If there is only one way you don’t have to think about it.

Don’t be different, so you don’t get bullied. Never stray from the path, don’t dare going to that bookshop again. …and never sit on that White Dragon, Atréju.

No seriously, I feel what Mike G suggested is not just a clever idea, it’s brilliant. It’s about being imaginative, it is so different to the usual way and the potential is huge. Of course there are many different pathes leading to all kinds of destinations already, but these here is a magic door, a teleporter. It uses the object based hierarchic way podium is programmed in the best possible way. You don’t need your worn foot pathes anymore, when you know how to work the Stargate.
