Hi folks! I have been using SO for 5 years or so, mostly doing composer related stuff using MIDI, virtual instruments and what not - but I've never really got these kinks out of my workflow, maybe you can help:

1) On average, I am dealing with about 40-50 active tracks (and many more disabled) that contain MIDI events. Is there a way to have all events selected (short cut key?), so I see every note in the Editor view?

Right now I am always "mass-selecting" everything manually with the mouse which is a pain..

2) Continuing from 1).. now having multiple MIDI events selected and a bunch of notes in the Editor view, I go ahead an change some modulation automation in an event of the active track. All happy, I select notes from another track (still in the same Editor view), and notice my earlier changes also affected this event (and probably all others) as well!

The annoying bit is, sometimes it does this and sometimes not. I don't know why. It could be a useful feature, but a the moment I don't know how to use / apply it.

3) Still continuing with multiple notes in the Editor.. So, lets say we have 10 different instruments all doing there thing (i.e. 10 tracks, 10 MIDI events all visible in one Editor). Now I select these notes, and hit "D" or copy&paste. Result: all notes are duplicated, BUT all are duplicated/pasted in the MIDI event of the active track, as opposed to keeping all notes in their individual tracks where they came from (so now everything is "merged" on the selected track).

To to this, I need to copy&paste per track/instrument. Again, bit of a pain.. Sometimes I can just duplicate the entire MIDI event, but that depends - its not always practical.

4) How to disable individual track/MIDI event zoom settings in the editor? Sometimes you want this, sometimes not (in my case, mostly not). And no, I dont want my editor to follow the zoom of the Arranger window, I just want to have it fixed, the same for all tracks/MIDI events.

As a result I am doing "a lot" of zooming with the mouse or keyboard shortcuts.

I saw this question not too long ago, but dont remember where it was.

5) Editor: when fully zoomed in, hovering on the top or bottom part of a MIDI note shows the smart tool to split it, or modify velocity values. Can this feature be enabled/disabled somewhere? I can see the practicality, but sometimes it causes things to split when I dont want them to. Besides, a keyboard shortcut might be a quicker/better way.

Anyway, thats it ;) I love SO, and use it daily. But these are things that would greatly increase my productivity.

Bumping this back to top from page 3 :) but it seems these are not issues for others?

Or was my description just too long to get through lol :) Would be happy to hear other experiences.

Hey,

1) yes, very easy: Select all events (Ctrl+A) and double-click one of them to open all of these events in the editor.

2) This may happen if you have the "Select Part Automation with Notes" setting enabled. If you then select multiple notes from different tracks, this will select their respective automation. So if you edit automation points, it will edit all of them. You can avoid this by only selecting the automation points (right-click on the automation lane and hit "Select All") but without any notes selected. Then you can edit only automation for this single track.

3) So far there is no workaround for this - I'm sorry. Inserting/pasting notes always happens on the currently active track, and the zoom is already remembered per track. All I can suggest is to create a new feature request over at https://answers.presonus.com/questions/ ... e-requests

5) Same here. There's no way to disable this behavior. But you're not alone. Nobody likes the MIDI smart tool. You can vote against it here:

Regarding #5, I just have to express how awful this feature is. It slows down my workflow so much - I am always zoomed in pretty far due to a large high res monitor, and this "tool" just gets in the way constantly. I feel like they never even tested it. Hopefully it will be removed or a disable option added in the upcoming update. oof

The same I use lots of midi tracks.
Used to use cakewalk, which was quite painful at times, but you could lasso a bunch of midi in the piano roll and then paste, and everything would be assigned to it's proper track. I do miss that

How would you do in Cakewalk what Studio One does by default (paste notes from all tracks into one track)?

Hi jazzundso, great suggestions! Thanks for replying, I will check that out. :thumbup:

Until its refined, you can always Control plus scroll (zoom) just one click out to remove It. Then, you'll just have the mouse pointer. It will stay at that zoom level anytime you return to that track. That doesn't seem so "awful". Yes, the option should be there just the same.

Voted. Thanks. :+1
Yeah, it seems to me the same bracket for utilizing the smart tool in the track arrangement, should also have one in the event editor toolbar. It could either combine with another tool or be defeated right there. Easy access, and no cumbersome option to deselect somewhere else. Overall, the smart tool doesn't seem to be a complete feature.

Additionally something (by right clicking) that adds or removes the volume and split feature. I do like that feature quite a bit. There's just one problem. The feature works only when fully zoomed in. Not a great zoom level to view more notes on the screen, so the workable range is very limited to only big fat MIDI notes.

The smart tool definately needs some attention on the editor side of things. There should also be a [b]more purposeful waveform smart tool editor.

How would you do in Cakewalk what Studio One does by default (paste notes from all tracks into one track)?


By default in cakewalk, you could, as I already said, lasso all visable midi notes from many different instruments in the piano roll view, and paste wherever, and everything would be copied to it's relative track, it was brilliant

Yes you can do that the same as S1. Just copy and highlight instrument track you want to paste to,

That works just fine for a single instrument, but not if you have 5 at the same time.
