It can be a huge workflow improvement if when saving a "Browser preset" it will remember which folders were opened. (Save the exact same state as it was saved...)

possible?

I'm back from the nearly dead and surprised to see so many updates. Wow!! Jo is on fire!! Looking forward to the v9 release . . . and will enjoy v8.8 and/or this v9 beta until that time.

Mutools become better and better and lots of updates seem to be on their way

Thanks Jo!

I don't know if this was mentioned before (apologies for not reading 42 pages).

The Switch Composer<-> Editor is very cleverly implemented. What seems to be a workflow slowdown is the "Live Play Matrix" button which is located on the opposite side of the area where most of the workflow actions occurs:
Composer-Edit/Matrix/Timeline/Tracks.

A similar scenario is in Bitwig and the switch are conveniently located at the Track area.

In here it's even more important (valuable) because MuLab allows the Matrix AND the Timeline to work together! And so, back and forth (Matrix/Timeline) is more common than in Live or Bitwig and the Mouse milage becomes a big part of the equation.

I couldn't find a shortcut to toggle the Matrix...

Overall, this new version is just beyond fantastic!

Is there a learn function for triggering the live matrix? As far as I know you can only start clips with midi notes. It would be nice to do this also with the computer keyboard. Something like the learn function in Ableton Live, with which you can use any command to start an action, would be great.

recording audio, the 'part property panel' that has gain etc options, is greyed out and unuseable until i click somewhere else first. could it be changed so that it is useable immediately after recording ends?

I would have thought that this is one occasion when it would be best to follow the Bitwig/Ableton pattern and just use the Tab key to flip between states. As far as I can tell, the Tab key isn't used for anything else at this point in the program.

assignable shortcut keys to show/hide matrix and main linear views would be great

Implemented in the next M9.0.30.

With the next M9.0.30 you can assign a shortcut key to Show/Hide Live Matrix and Time Line.

Thanks!

The ability to run the Matrix and the Timeline Clips at the same time it's just a stunning "Feature".

It would benefit greatly if there was a way (may there is?) to launch both, Matrix and Timeline, at the same time.
Also, once a Matrix clip is playing it is not possible to additionally launch the Timeline to play its Clips as well.

All those option would bring that "Feature" to a full power of use.

The Matrix gives the advantage to add Harmony, polyrhythms, Arps etc. without messing up with the Timeline clips.

Just a thought....

I'll evaluate that.

Alt+click the play button

(in fact any modifier will do it)
