Which Daw Can Do This

[Passante]

I don't think I have the range tool as it was introduced in Cubase 13, and I'm still on 10.5
I was actually considering upgrading to 14, but after trying the demo I found that Cubase has become simply more messy, giving you more ways to do the same thing rather than improving what is already there.
As an electronic music producer I always aim for speed, not for more options.
The whole interface looks cluttered to me.
I will be moving on from Cubase, that is for sure. Not just for this single problem, there have been many such little annoyances that I can't ignore anymore.

Yeah, in Studio One you can also have a MIDI file in your Files browser tab and simply drag it. Or it can be in a Scratchpad or Launcher cell.

And then of course there's this:

Yes, this looks more thought out. I'm already looking at how things are done in other daws. I prefer a linear approach, so Studio One and Logic are on my radar.

I understand.
You can use the arrangement area but choosing one bar of your previous example and ctrl+d.

Anyway, all DAWs have their strengths and weaknesses. It’s not an easy task to choose main one.

If you have third party synths and FX, I'd highly recommend trying Bitwig.

Very easy grouping
Local FX sends inside a group
Great utility plug ins like Tool
Great routing

To me these make so many complicated processes in other DAWs really simple and streamlined. So if you want uncluttered speed, it's well worth trying out.

Yes, in Bitwig you can also save clips in your library. Also you can have the clip launcher and the arranger next to each other, basically you could collect your preset MIDI files in the clip launcher and drag n drop them into your arrangement, whenever you need one. Coming from Cubase will make the switch to Bitwig very easy too.

Duplicate the MIDI part as many times as you want in the arranger.
What DAW doesn't do that?

Well technically he wants to store a preset he can reuse to add the exact same snare roll to all his projects. Forever.

Otherwise I'm pretty sure it's just Ctrl + D everywhere.

The funny thing is Bitwig offers to save plugins with the clip so it can do this

Which Daw has a piano editor that allows you to store pattern presets so that you don't have to draw each time the same pattern.
If I need to draw an off beat bass it would be easier to select a preset rather than drawing it each time.
This is valid for drum patterns too. Drawing a snare roll each time can be painful, but If I had a preset for it I could select it and edit it to make it fit in that specific project.

You can save 10 midi items with 10 different types of snare rolls on one track in Reaper, and save as a track template. Want to save effects on it? You can put eq on it. You can save the automation too. You can load the track and put the midi anywhere on the timeline. Heck, you can save the sampler on the track too. Want a midi item that is small enough to add to a portion, you can do that. Even if you wanted to you could place that midi, immediately jump to it and listen to it I think. Couldn't be any easier...
