Hi Flo. Wow I keep discovering new things about the new drums.
I never noticed the right-click menu on your drum tracks. When was that added... So this means they DO load and save maps contrary to what I thought? Nice work, you really put a lot into it. You know, while poking around I noticed they way you structured the drum maps was different than muse-evolution. Look closely at muse-evolution and see there are no drum tracks! Only midi tracks and each has a button 'show drum map'. This button simply turns on the drum map in the pianoroll editor. That is, there is no separate drum editor - the pianoroll can be instantly switched to show/hide the drum map or piano KB by clicking the track's 'show drum map' button. So it struck me that we could apply that to OUR pianoroll too - except with a difference... Yes, I said our pianoroll. What I'm getting at is mapped piano keys for regular midi tracks (non-drum). You know like this key makes this sound, that key makes another sound. Thus the piano keyboard drawing will have (hideable) note names as well, perhaps coloured in ranges like I've seen before in pro software. So in muse-evolution the drum maps were kinda put into the patches and it seemed to me it would not easily support this idea. However Flo your implementation is different - you put the maps OUTSIDE the patches. So it seemed to me yours would support being used for pianoroll. Now here's the thing: Named ranges. A wee bit different from named drum notes. But what you've given us is very close. And then I realized maybe not so easy, what about layers - not just contiguous ranges but overlapping ranges. (Mr. Jordan Rudess would approve!) Just some ideas. Thanks. Tim. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
