Waveform new features requests

Would still like to see triplets improved...dividing notes not just into 3, but 5, 6, and so on. A simple flyout on the right-click's triplet option could work.

If possible create a right click option on the faders in to reset the 0 point of the fader to whatever the fader slider location is on the fader giving you more gain volume than just 6db past 0 and also giving more gain and control of headroom. I like to use 2 faders on all my Aux return faders so this would be a big game changer. I am Loving 11.5 it feels like a new Daw as you know I also love to use racks so the new engine is my best friend.

Would love to have the ability to load EXS24 instruments. I have a few 3rd party ones that I would like to be able to use.

A mute-all-tracks-except-this-one function would be Very Helpful.

Isn't that solo?

When you unsolo your solos and everything else comes back on, definitely no.

I get it! You want a "mute all but the selected track(s)."

I admit I've been here myself, when comparing tracks or trying to hunt down an offending sound. I'd want the ability to turn everything on one track at a time, selectively, without having to keep turning solo tracks off and then click mute.

Forrest is right: that's not exactly solo, because when you deselect it, everything comes roaring back on.

You can use this to mute everything and then just unmute the one you want. Certainly there's a way to fully do this with macros. I might be able to figure it out, but it'll be ugly.

Code: Select all

var tracks = Tracktion.getEditElements ('track');
Tracktion.setMute (tracks, true);

does this work?

var tracks = Tracktion.getEditElements ('track');
Tracktion.setMute (tracks, true);
var track = Tracktion.getTrackFromSelectedObject();
Tracktion.muteSelectedTracks();

Yes! Ta.

I would love to see volume/pan fader movements as part of UNDO.

I'd like to second the comment about triplets. Having to switch the global grid in the bottom every time to triplets is a pain. A keyboard shortcut and a context menu for the MIDI grid would be nice. Also, quintuplet (1/5) and septuplet (1/7) grid would be nice. The same goes for step clips...I still want my custom step divisions per channel.

I've said this before...custom scales! Either defined in a custom bank in the settings (excellent) or in each individual edit (also good). You should be able to set any number of pitch classes from ditonic (2 notes) to chromatic (all 12). Then you should be able to define what notes fit into the scale. You should also be able to limit MIDI clips to only show diatonic notes (notes in the scale).

This is an extremely common workflow in many genres. Many common scales, like the blues scale, pentatonic major/minor, whole tone, flamenco, Hungarian minor, are not currently available. Not having custom scales limits the appeal to classical/movie composers, blues artists, jazz artists, metal artists, and folk/world artists. Even if you want to use a mode of a currently available scale (say, harmonic minor), it is inconvenient (you have to use the wrong tonic to get the right mode). Obviously, you can simply write all your MIDI by hand if you have the scale memorized. But most of us are either 1. Too lazy to learn new scales besides the obvious ones, and learning them with all tonics is a pain. or 2. Want to use all the fun MIDI arrangement and chord features that are locked to scale. I understand those features probably will bungle when set to weird scales (how does it figure out what's the right chords for, say, a decatonic scale? Or what to call whole tone scales?). I'd still rather have custom scales that create incorrect naming than no customs at all.

Schubert's original score for "Ave Maria," for one, has sextuplets on all but one bar. And some versions of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" render the opening clarinet as a 19th-plet! Not sure we need to go that far, but a flyout could divide a selected note in triplets up to decuplets or so.

I'm not aware of any other music software that makes something so common as triplets as tricky to find. It's been where it is probably since T1.
