Sneak peak at new smart grid

http://blog.cakewalk.com/sonar-x2-feature-peek-smart-grid/
 
If this is, what I imagine it is, I'll be so happy. I really miss optional grid line resolution in track view when editing. Actually it sounds like something I've seen in another DAW and I liked that feature a lot.
Groovy man :O)

loving the snap to/by switch being so accessible. My question is, will the Smart Grid display the resolution it is switching to when zooming in or out? or will solely be showing the grid lines that it talks about (dont think I have ever used grid lines apart from PV set to 1/8 display)

It shows both. The grid changes and the resolution display in the module changes as well, while zooming.

@ Brandon - it does that in the track view and the PRV?

Yes it does. 

this is huge!

STOP IT!! I had almost gotten X2 fever out of my system now it starts all over again.

What is a CW fan person to do now?

Oh man you guys are killing me...

Here's my one request though: Have the next Webinar (Sept?) be done with X2. Please?

Regards,

The next CakeTV Live webinar will feature SONAR X2.

What's that thing about clips and pixels in the teaser video?

OK, someone has to ask the question...  rough estimate when?   I usually watch these after the fact, but I may have to make an exception in this case. 
 

I believe we are on for September 5th, with an official announcement forthcoming.

The Smart Grid looks awesome, but I noticed that only the track view and piano roll view were mentioned.  Are we to read anything into the omission of any other view which may provide a glimpse into MIDI data?

Did someone order a Staff View?

Darn it, was it that transparent?

What about in the Staff view?
 
Which may not produce prefect scores but is a useful tool for composition.

I'm sure hoping SV gets some love in X2 <crosses fingers>.

Did anyone notice the minim note value on the snap? ....god forbid!

I wonder if this snap to grid setup helps us SV users... Is it a global or per staff/PRV/TRack View
 
I like to set my track view to measure,  but need my SV to handle different values depeding on the note values.
This needs to be addressed..

I would love a customisable Snap Module (or a right-click option) that would let me save, say, three or four different snap options to a separate button for each.

When I'm comping audio, I'm continually swapping between 'Snap to Measure' and 'Snap to 1 Tick @ Nearest Audio Zero Crossing'.

I wonder if this new Smart Grid can accomodate this customisation, or will I be locked to whichever snap method I start with.

It should except for one detail (zero crossings are global). By holding down "N" you'll be able to pick an alternate setting (i.e. Snap to 1 Tick). But some options are global (zero crossings in this case). Basically if you look at the blog entry, everything in that Preferences config screen is global. But you can have two different configurations for settings on the snap module. And this includes landmarks.
