One thing I’ve noticed is that the editor has an “Undo Timing Adjustments” option after you’ve applied the timing, but no option to Redo. Is it possible to implement Redo so we can listen to before and after in the editor window?

You can undo (ctrl+z) the “undo timing adjustments” command. I tried different names for the command to avoid associating it with the normal undo history. I tried “revert timing adjustments” and “discard timing adjustments”, but “undo timing adjustments” I think is still the simplest description for it. Let me know if you have other suggestions.

Found one bug with beta 3 – each time I open my test project the Time Signature of the Metronome is reset to 4/16, even though I created and saved the project at 4/4.

Ouch 😳 That happened during some cleanup of the code, when I added the timing adjustment info to the events.

I’ve removed the beta3 download link, until I fix this. Please don’t save your projects with beta3.

Many thanks for reporting this bug.

Does that mean comping works for MIDI as well? Cause if so I LOVE you. 😆

Sorry. MIDI comping is not implemented, yet. I’ll get to it eventually.

Beta3 is up.

Unless bugs are reported, this is the last beta before I release 2.27 in a day or two. I need to write the help page for the adjust timing dialog, while I still remember what all the settings do 😉

The changelog so far reads:

• Added “Adjust Timing…” command to the edit menu. This opens a dialog with advanced quantization options. There are controls for setting grid, quantize mode, strength of start/length quantization, min/max sensitivity, randomization and swing.

• Timing adjustments on each event are now saved in the project. This allows you to at any time undo adjustments or redo timing adjustments based on the original recorded timing with the “calculate adjustments from original timing” option in the adjust timing dialog.

• When events have been modified with the “quantize” or “adjust timing” commands, the edit menu shows two additional commands: “undo timing adjustments” and “commit timing adjustments”. The commit command allows you to do iterative timing adjustments.

• Fix: Adding child tracks to a group track that had a plugin instrument assigned would wrongly create the child track as an audio track.

The extract groove feature I mentioned earlier in this topic will come at a later time.

Note that the .pod file format is not yet updated to save the undoable timing adjustments, but with this beta you can at least try out the commands and see if they work as you expect.

Have you considered doing this non-destructively?

I have not tried the beta yet, but this is a feature I really love about Reason. It’s not a definite ‘Must-Have’ feature, but it IS a desirable one.

The final 2.27 release will save any timing adjustments made to each event in the project, so that you at any time can revert back to the original timing. That’s sort of semi-destructive I guess. If you mean a way to set up quantization or swing to be applied only during playback, then that is not something I have planned.
