    Yeah. The FOLD feature is also a nice one.

    Other 'gotchas' that I've bumped to are (maybe it doesn't make sense but I'll share anyway!).

    If I make a selection of notes and want to remove just one note from the selection it doesn't work properly?!
    (ie. all notes get deleted).

    Logically 'Shift Tap' on a note should remove the note from selection and doing a 'Shift Selection' could remove the newly selected notes from the existing selection (ie. Invert Selection). I know 'Shift' can be used to add notes to a selection but not remove them from the selection.

    Currently tapping on any selected note with or without shift just deletes them :(

    Other selection options would be, 'Shit Tap' on a piano note to select all notes and use shift tap to add / remove notes from the selection, super handy for selecting for example all Hi-Hats or Snares in a pattern for further editing.

    @sinosoidal Maybe some of the above is already being worked on?

    Should I bump into any more gotchas I'll share them here...
    Cheers!

    This is indeed an interesting point. We have recently added the ability to append select by using the shift button. However, I do feel your pain and I do think your suggestion makes all the sense. Shift + tap note should select/deselect because there is no other way of doing it.

    Maybe we could select append by default, and make shift tap a select/deselect operation.

    It is also a interesting suggestion, pressing the shift + keyboard key to select all the notes in that pitch

    Let us sleep on this.

    Some CC feature requests:

    • Now you can tap a linear segment and drag it up/down. Would be really nice if you also could drag left/right to change the curvature between the two points, from logarithmic to linear to exponential in varying degrees (default as linear, maybe a long tap to open a reset menu).

    This is a good suggestion.

    • The left side has this small dropdown box where you select which CC number (or velocity) to look at. Would be really nice if there could be a second box here, where you select some other CC number, and have that displayed at the same time. Purpose: properly align some CC changes, related to the other CC. I suggest that the current box could have a red font, corresponding to the red automation curve we now have, and the secondary box could have a grey font and grey line. Only the red line can be edited.

    This is also a good suggestion.

    We will take note of this suggestions and see what we can do in the future.

    Half/Double-Tempo to Midi Tools could come in handy.

    /2 and x2 the note length?

    TBH, it's crashed on me twice now, losing work in progress. This was in AUM and happened when adding an AU plugin. the LK window wasn't open or running, but got invalidated when I added the plugin. So, now I know to save the AUM session before adding plugins. Next time it happens I'll be more diligent and send crash logs to the developer.

    Please do send crash reports. It is very helpful for us to track down the problem. You need to have share with developers settings enabled under system privacy settings.

    There's also a bug where when you play a three note chord, the length gets sustained to like a quarter-note even though I only tap the chord. It only happens on three note chords, and it happens with any on-screen keyboard (LK's, AUM's, KB-1). The developer says it's an iOS bug they haven't been able to run down, but I don't recall it happening with any other app. Weird.

    This is a long time problem we haven't been able to work around yet. Let's try again

    Yes, that too would be awesome!
    Many times I just use simple 16th notes but with 50% or even 25% gate-time so note-length /2 would be a perfect tool here.

    For Double/Half-tempo, 'stretch' the midi events. So one bar of 1/16th notes would in 'half-time' be 2 bars of 1/8th notes...
    ...and for 'double-time' of a 2 bars full of 16th notes it would become 1 bar with 32nd notes etc.
    Think of it like midi time-stretch.

    A feature I love in Logic (and iOS GarageBand) is that it's piano roll editor remembers the 'length & velocity' of the last drawn note/event. So with 16th grid selected, if I draw in a 1/4 or 1/8 note the next drawn note will also be 1/4 or 1/8.

    Just noticed a double-tap on shift 'lock' & 'unlocks' it.
    Perfect for adding notes to a selection using the 'lasso'. It makes the 'invert selection' feature even more logical :)

    Other things would be 'shift drag' to copy the selected notes to another location?

    The current 'Duplicate' behaves more like 'Repeat Selection' and makes it a bit tricky to grab a small selection without overwriting the note events on the following next step(s).

    So if I want to copy events from step one the 'duplicate' function puts them on step 2 in some cases overwriting the note events on step two.

    Don't know of 'long-tap' to bring up cut/copy/paste menu could eventually solve this?
    (This way it would even be possible to copy events between clips).

    Sorry for the 'brain farts', feel free to ignore if no one else requests similar features :)
    Cheers!

    I played in notes with lk chorder. When I hit undo, it removed the entire clip instead of just the notes. Atom has a similar functionality where the undo only effects drawing in or functions such as quantize etc.

    Which this isn't such a big deal with atom because each synth is routed specifically to each instance of Atom. It's easy to go in and clear the few flubbed notes.

    But it's quite different with lk because I don't realize I'm recording over the same clip until it loops and at that point, I have to start over on 2 clips, or tediously go back and remove each note. Either way it's a buzz kill and I almost immediately exit aum and just use atom.

    I think we are not making the recorded notes undable. Something to fix on the next version. The reason it has deleted the whole clip is probably because the last action was create a clip.

    This would be awesome! Thanks for listening.

    Ah thanks. Got that one already 😉

  • I think it would be useful to expand quantization options to note lengths as well, with options to quantize lengths to the currently selected quantization grid, legato or fixed length (1/2,1/4,1/8...).

  • Also, it would be nice if the notes color would follow the clip color.

    This sounds like a wild free mode. Without even triggering the desired slot?

    @echoopera as always thanks for your incredible feedback.

    Hrmmm good point. There should definitely be a Clip present to record to. Would a Create Clip button in the Chorder/Midi Pads toolbar be odd? I guess I’m just looking for a faster way to record a Clip without having to go to Clip view then go to Chorder view and start playing.

    I got the point. Let's see what we can do.

    I second that. It's something I didn't expect to find useful, but it definitely makes pattern editing faster (I always use it Atom)

  • I do like LK in 'AUv3 Fullscreen Mode'.

    Unfortunately AudioBus has no way to easily select which midi channel each AUv3 instance listens to and It's all channels by default?! (Ie. it's impossible to use om instance of LK to control multiple AUv3's in Audiobus without using multiple instances of LK).

    @Michael Is this something that is 'by design' or something that will be added later?
    (Ie. a simple midi-channel selector/filter per AUv3 instance would be enough).

    Cheers!

    Cool. I think what you need is just a small modification to the normal linear slope calculation. See the answer here, where the linear slope is adjusted by raising values to the n'th power.
    https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/107245/continuum-between-linear-and-logarithmic

    In that answer it is said to use 0 < n < 1, but for your right-hand side with exponential curves, you need to let the n value become larger than 1. Swipe left: decrease n down towards 0 (but not quite 0). Swipe right: increase n toward some suitable upper value for a sharp exponential curve.

  • Also, +1 for using clip color as note color, and maybe one day optionally display reference notes ("ghosts") from other clips.

    It is not that simple. For a line we dont need to keep the intermediate values, they are calculated in song time. Doing those kinds of transforms, need additional complexity to how values are kept. It is not a simple improvement.

    @sinosoidal Any plans for more clip follow actions? i.e ‘first’?

    Of course! Maybe we could discuss what other follow actions would be great to have, here with the other uses.

    Just to ask this again, is there no way to set a default clip length? It’s very tedious to have to create a blank 1 bar clip and change its properties every time I want a longer length.

    EDIT: I'm thinking about this in the context of a jamming and improvisation workflow.

  • it try to to trig scenes with a cc but didn't find how to do this?
    is it possible ?

    +1
    and also clip should be (record ready) when empty

  • Just having a look at this. Looks decent but it's it possible to quantise note ends in the matrix module? Doesn't look like it is to be but wanted to check with those who've been using it for longer

    When recording? No. But if you use the note tools/select all, then drag to lengthen or shorten the notes, they will snap to the quantize setting.
