Another DAW with piano roll as great as FL Studio?

You can draw in something that you wouldn't think of playing and would come out pretty good.

You can actually play something you couldn't even reach that easily drawing, happy accident are faster and more to expect playing keyboard than doing tedious drawing, but whatever floats your boats.

Yes that is why I said I use both methods. I am not favoring one way to the other. I almost always perform and record and then sometimes play around in PR but sometimes I just draw notes. For example I just draw a house bass line with 3 chords and copy paste that goes 128 bars. There is nothing sophisticated about playing it live. It is just faster to draw in and copy paste. Likewise for me there is no point trying to create a complex piano performance by drawing the notes in. I can just play it faster.
For me putting in notes to PR is no different than writing them on paper or Sibelius.

Absolutely!

Wow, lots of healthy discussion here Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.

My favorite part of FL Studio is the simple MIDI editing. That's it. I want to try a lane based DAW. Naturally I would love for the new DAW to have just at great, simple MIDI editing. This is irrelevant to what level of musical ability I have. At some point, anybody recording into MIDI will be editing the data to some degree.

Anyhow, Studio One is pretty close. Reaper is even more close, it just takes some options configuration. Even though it's the least close to FL Studio's MIDI editing from what I've tried, I've mostly been working with Cubase lately and I am getting use to it. It isn't too difficult. It is forcing me to learn to use the keyboard for shortcuts a lot more now. It's still more steps than FL Studio requires but I really like the layout and mediabay browser

I kinda relate to this. Gol did great job balancing between features and intuitiveness on piano roll.

Use whatever makes most sense to you, you will always miss some features nonetheless, at least for me it's important my DAW become kinda invisible and I just make music without much tinkering with it.

Yes he did. If DAWs had this simple setup, it would be great:

Left click on empty space = insert note
Left click on note = selects note
Right click on note = deletes note
Shift, left click and drag = selects multiple notes
Left click and hold on selected notes = move notes around
Left click on selected notes' edge = resize
Shift and right click on selected note/notes = menu (for mirror, reverse, editors, etc.)

Can anybody find a technical issue, or faster suggestion (less clicks), regarding the above?

the problem isn't(or not just the) the piano roll but the absence of the modulation (internal controllers) in other DAWs (except Bitwig, Reason) and their note key mapping possibilities

but it would be another topic.

or the absence of the mapping formulas https://unaspectedstudios.wordpress.com ... -formulas/ (also modulation related)

ps. sorry it's Hungarian but just check how modulation/automation things above go in traditionally DAWs

from 1:00 - > compared to FL above (if you love to draw automation lines manually then ok, but for me no thx )
