is it possible to get re-size able Track Inspector panel?
would very helpful especially for Midi Controllers tab
to see all the controllers always and adjust them easily without slide to up / down.

I cannot believe such a basic functionality was missing! Now there is a new variation implemented called 'Velocity', with that you have full control over note on velocities. It is useful in envelope mode when added to a track but can be added to a phrase too. This overwrites the original velocities (and strong/weak accents) in the phrase.

I'll upload a new beta in 1-2 days after I studied the rest of the posts as I am a bit behind with reading the forum.

Thanks!
Attila

Hi yellukhan,

right, the original absolute notes are not saved with the phrase in the library. Would that be useful?

Thanks,
Attila

Hi,
would very useful and library would more flexible.
IMHO.

I see. I added this feature to the to-do list.

Thanks,

No, currently unselected, previously resized phrases should not be affected. But it does not work like that... If this happens that is a serious bug, but I could not reproduce it.

Unless you work with ghost phrases where each ghost should look like the original phrase and therefore they are resized the same way.

Please let me know how I could reproduce this behaviour...
Phrase resizing hasn't been modified for a very long time.

Thanks,
Attila

como baila wrote:After looking more carefully this is what I discovered. You cannot change the resize option on a regular phrase or generator phrase that you have already resized once or more unless you render it in between operations.

Hi como baila,

that is right, you cannot 'stack' different kinds of resizing because each phrase has only one type of resizing. They have an original length and a resized length, and how you transform the notes is decided by the 'resizing mode'. Resizing - just like almost all operations - is non-destructive.

As you noted, if you need to apply more than one resizing, you need to render the phrase first. The rendered phrase becomes an "original" phrase, on which you can apply further resizing.

como baila wrote:How about this?

While it is possible to preview a phrase in the phrase inspector of a generator phrase, this only solos the phrase.

I would like to be able to to check a box or activate a button in the phrase inspector so that I could playback the other tracks of the composition and listen in context to the preview phrase in the phrase inspector instead of the phrase in the track in the track.

What do others think?

This is a good idea! Also on the to-do list

Thanks,
Attila

While these requests could seem trivial, everything that promotes being able to quickly implement your idea without getting bogged down feeds the creative process. I believe these implementations would really improve the work flow.

Thank you for the feedback, this really needs improvement. Today I received an e-mail from a RC user who is color blind, so using shading/contrast/colors and saturation should be configured more flexibly.

when you find one ,Regenerate and Store To New..so on.
sorry if i am still missing the point.

I'll try one more time

.

In my idea, if when you say "Store to new First," you mean hit the button "Apply
To Selection," then you would not have to do that. The original phrase you are thinking about replacing would continue to remain in the track temporarily or even permanently if you never found something you liked better. The 'switch' in the phrase inspector would let you either play what is there or play the previewed phrase in the phrase inspector.

You would still be able to scroll back and forth between the phrases you generate in the phrase inspector once Attila implements that ... they just wouldn't be on the track itself until you decided to replace the one previously placed on the track.

Besides letting you preview your possible choices in the context of the entire composition as opposed to only soloing them, now you wouldn't lose the phrase in the track and have to go through multiple undo steps if you decided that you could find nothing better and wanted to revert to the original.

clear now and seems good idea.

Hi, Attila and everyone involved in the discussion of the program!
1. I switch editing modes (F1/F2) ... in edit mode phrases did maximizing the selected track, then switched to edit notes and again to turn the window up and down! I'm looking for my maximized track! Possible to make the fixation image editing when switching modes (F1/F2/F3/F4) ? And by the way, how to turn off display of the velocity of notes under each track?

2.Draw line phraze ... Great idea! Possible to do so, to be able to draw the same chords (for example, first put the chord from the generator (or play in real time from the keyboard), and then draw the same chords as the line! It would be very convenient for quickly creating rhythmic chord progressions !

3.When I minimize the track or all the tracks (up to the maximum minimization))) toggle mute and solo impossible (tested on multiple monitors and two Mac) !

4.When choosing a loop in timeline , snap and grid are set to less than bar is often not exactly set the loop and the loop is not exactly playing rhythmically (stutters), and even when I start to mark loop with the cursor position 1.1 will not let me set the loop with this position (usually there is a cursor).

5. I do not know if anyone wrote that it would be good to do drag-end-drop
phrases between folders within a phrase browser.

6. Editor phrase is missing options "Apply Changes To Phrase In Composition without closing the editor window" to immediately listen to changes along with the entire composition!

7. Another idea is to record in real time from the keyboard with a fixed adjustment to the chords, scales, modes!
Any notes that I will play in real time reconstructed in relative scale (perhaps by choice)!
Play without mistakes! ))), But may be difficult to to create realtime conversion to Relative Form ?

8. Also it would be nice to expand the function of quantization for action not only at the start of notes, but also on the length of the notes (quantize note length as done quantize MIDI notes such as Digital Performer) RC is to work with midi and should empower midi processing !

9. Simple basic functional circuit course should be simple, visual and bright (In a literal sense!) Scales and chord notes should glow brightly in the tracks, so they are very visible (because we want to confirm our hearing capabilities using visual manipulation ... And suddenly I do not have hearing loss?)))
Such as Pallet color suits me, but when I really
chose a chord, please let it be in a bright colored box!
Maybe it's just cosmetic, but creativity and consists of important details!
And icons browsers have many small details and pretty colors smeared on. Need a simple and recognizable, and their names please black and bright!

10. I think it would be logical to divide Phrase Browser into two parts, Generators and Storage - Library Phrases. With the possibility of distribution of phrases in locations of your choice!

11. Here are midi function necessary to me (especially for drum tracks and for others too) "Split track on separate tracks by pitch " With adjustable range adjustment borders of separation .

12. In edit mode notes and phrase editor to select notes on the virtual keyboard (all the notes that height)
Clicked on C1 - activated all the notes C and end of the phrase!
And why virtual keyboard in editor phraze and phrases edit mode notes does not sound ? Let the virtual keyboard works not only visually!

13. I want the "mute-unmute" all tracks and the same button solo!

14.Perhaps you need to make an option to Editor Phrases and Mode Editor Notes to notes that are not in the desired range or chord simply would not have sound, let it play only relative note (optional function of course)

Thank you for your attention!
Sorry for my English-Google-Translator)))
To be continued!

@Lulukom ...

All very good ideas! Attila has already added your #9 to his 'To Do' list, as I had a similar request.

musicdevelopments · Post by **musicdevelopments** » Sun Feb 02, 2014 5:09 pm

Thank you Lulukom, excellent ideas! I'll do my best to improve the workflow.
