New Feature listed!

I meant that nice little paint brush type thing that you can use in *some* sequencers to paint in repeated notes. Useful for example when you are doing a drum track and you want to "paint in" the hi-hats with one foul sweep of, um, the brush...

Well then you're in luck, line tool does that when you use it for notes,

Oh right ... so, uh, what's the line tool for then?

Maybe it chops your cocaine up for you?

There's a marketing ploy and a half, bundle T2 with a free gram of baking powder. Must be worth at least another £60 down kentish town

yay! now wat about the drum view?

[headquest]

Could be ... hang on, are you saying the big T is trying to be more like Reason's sequencer?

I suppose so...

Let's hope not, isn't that why everyone rewires Reason to something else? Have more faith in Jules



On that note, i really am off to bed, 'cos i'm shattered

Me too. Goodnight

I, for one, don't need or want a special 'drum view'. The piano roll is already a grid, what more do you need? As far as I can tell, drum views are just grids in which dots are placed instead of solid bars.

Just taking the piss... well, sort of-- that IS how I think of drum view, but I'm also willing to admit that I don't really know since I've never actually used one.

[more] Great news

And presumably the notes added in are based on the current quantise value, or zoom ...?

well now that i think about it, dk+ is about to come out and it has its own sequencer so i really don't need a drum view

Fraid not. But the inserting notes in midi editor is now at an adjustable velocity and length independant of zoom level.

I use one every day. It really does speed up drum programming enormously, trust me.

Hoi you. We're going to bed, remember? Uh, not together, obviously ... but ...

anyway, i'm off now ... uh ... on me own

FL studio's pattern sequencer, and Reason's ReDrum are like that... although in Live 4 it's nicer

[IIRs]

Fraid not.

DOH! Never mind, sounds like the line tool will do some of the things I miss..

[Lunch Money]

At risk of derailing the thread--

What advantage does a drum view give that zooming and expanding the MIDI view in Tracktion doesn't already give?) If I zoom in on a bar that's 32 beats (8 measures, assuming we're talking 4/4) long, have set quantize to 1/4 note, what can't I do?

Greg

[jtxx000]

at the risk of being OT, does mackie own antares? if so is there any chance that autotune will be in T2?

[headquest]

In that case I don't think a drum lane is needed. It's really in apps that include a drum sample player of their own, and it's a simplified MIDI editor linked specifically to that sampler (e.g. in Live 4 and Reason). Useful if you have a drum sampler as part of the package, but otherwise no particular way I could see it working anyway. (presumably there isn't a drum sample player in T2...)

Back to the line tool - does it do the "reason" style automation thing in velocity and controller section as well as the "paint brush" type thing to notes, then?
