Beta12 is up. Some bugs are fixed, and the import/export buttons in the note map dialog are now implemented. Podium will look for a “Note Maps” subfolder in the setup folder. For this beta you can create this subfolder manually, or just save the files in the main Podium setup folder. I’ll add the creation of the “Note Maps” subfolder to the installer, along with a few default files for “GM Drum Kit”, “iMap Standard Drum Kit” and “iMap Extended Drum Kit”. Are there other common drum layouts that should be included?

Highlighted blackkeys works fine too. If I can reproduce them I’ll tell you how.

Please note: If a scale is active, then it will override the black key highlighting. Previously both scale and black keys were highlighted, which resulted in an unreadable mess.

Two bugs, selecting multiple events with far zoom doesn’t work fine:

I can’t see what the bug is here?

And, I barely use them having scales though, “highlight blackkeys” option doesn’t work.

The two options are working fine here. Please explain?

About “note map for track” doesn’t work in drums, i don’t know what’s your plan with this window, so I’ll wait a little before give more feedback. (because I see that drums roll view isn’t saved yet).

The new note map dialog will be available in the drum map editor eventually. I’m trying to figure out how it’s going to work in the piano roll before unifying the two editors. So I’m looking for comments on the note map changes to the piano roll editor, and not the drum map editor.

Beta10 is up. This beta has some changes to the piano roll editor.

There is a new menu button in the piano roll, with a “Customize Note Map” command for opening a dialog. The dialog can also be opened by right-clicking a key on the piano roll keyboard.

In this dialog you can enter a color and a name for each key. It’s also possible to enable/disable each note, similar to the drum map editor. Multiple notes can be selected in the listbox with the standard shift/ctrl click shortcuts. When you enter a name or select a color, this will be applied to all selected notes.

The names you enter for a note will be written on the piano roll keyboard, if zoomed in. For smaller zoom settings, I’m planning to implement a popup that will show the name of the key under the mouse cursor.

I’ve also modified the way that black keys and scale keys are highlighted.

Let me know what you think of this.

A question, do you need to program for each plugin this the ability of retrieve names? It’s weird

No. Poise was just returning that it did not support key names for the current program, when Podium requested the name for note #0. I’m now ignoring that return value and continue to request names for all keys. Perhaps there are other plugins that behave this way.

Another idea I’m considering:

The piano roll and drum map regions share a lot of functionality, so I’m considering removing the drum map region completely, and instead make the “piano roll” region into a “note” region, which will combine the two regions into one. Some of the latest updates to the piano roll have not made it into the drum map editor, and so combining them will ensure that the event editing is similar in both the piano roll and drum map mode.

So, instead of selecting between the “piano roll” and “drum map” editor profiles, there will be one profile, and you then have a “enable drum map” option in the menu button (as introduced in the new drum map region), which will toggle between the piano roll and drum map layout.

Good/bad idea?
