new FL piano roll tools

[foosnark]

- New key limiter tool in piano roll.


- New score flipper tool in piano roll.


- New level scaling tool in piano roll & event editor.


What I really want for FL's piano roll though -- and have since using the thing -- is a way to scale the lengths/times of a pattern. Just halving or doubling would be enough, though other ratios would be cool for polyrhythmic stuff or moving from 4/4 to 6/8

I don't know how many times I've thought "that's a neat passage/loop/thing but it should be twice as fast and be 4 bars long instead of 8"... and then had to manually change the lengths and note positions, and usually get it wrong

you can double it by doing CTRL+A, CTRL+C, then moving towards the end of the notes you have there and hit CTRL+V. I know it's not what you want, but it'll work, and it's just as fast as any tool made to do it would be I would think. hope this helps.

to stretch a bunch of notes, select them, stretch one of them but holding shift at the same time

The score flipper I understand and have wanted for a long time. But I don't get what are use of the limiter and scaling tools. How are these useful?

Not sure if this is what you mean, but...

1. Select the notes you want. (or Ctrl-A to select all of them)
2. Move to end of a note so that you get the stretch tool.
3. Hold down SHIFT. Drag to the right.

It will resize not only the lengths, but the start times as well.

3. Hold down SHIFT.

Thanks.

Handy animation there too, that's exactly what I meant

OK that's how Midi timeshift works. I had not got around to seeing that yet. This stuff is moving way too fast for my little brain.

I'm wondering if this update has any corelation to the review of FL5 in March FM magazine. If it is, thanks GOL...nice style! As the author puts it: "In an ideal world, I'd like to see....[bitches about playlist and workflow]...But as a foundation for software studios? I'd look elsewhere." It was very clear that author was raised in a cubase/logic paradigm (as he referenced). Though I'm under the impression that he really new nothing about the subtilties (such as the [shift] I bet...I didn't, thanks).

Is it possiable for a person to test drive FL for a week or two or four and write a review, mabey even months? I've been using it for years and still find new things. I also hate when the persons name who did the review isn't given so we know whos full of shiot abd who isn't. True enough there isn't a decent manual, imho; computer screens make crappy toilet reading material.

Now...I must go and download the update.

I'm glad someone else feels this way! I remember one time I posted about not being able to do alternate time sigs, (this was a few versions ago) and I guess gol had about enough of those kinds of posts. He responded personally, and I think he was just plain shocked that there was somebody dense enough to miss that feature (while he was busy trying to implenent WAY more impressive features).

I haven't had the stones to make a feature request since!

How the F(*&^ do you do that? There are several times I 'd like to "show" something like that. I just get errors and "you can't do a picture" and so on when tried before...............
