Quick Q: for you since my demo time has run out.

Do we still have midi scrub in X3? Used to be the B hot key in 4.0.2

Thanks!

I'm not sure, I've never used it before. I'd try and do a search on cakewalk.com, after you get the results you can narrow it to only X3.
 
Have a great sunday, man. I hope your back is better today.

X2 documentation ( keyboard shortcuts ) says "J" is the hot key for the scrub tool.
Can anyone verify it works in X3 PRV over midi notes?
My demo time ran out
Thank you!

I am in the middle of some other nightmares (full track names for you), but here is the X3 doc for scrub:

Thanks Bob!

Hey ... don't stress out on the track names thing. I'll be fine either way.

My understanding (remember, I don't code) is that the more customizable a program is, the harder it is to QC. 
 
I too used the long track names to essentially take notes. When it went away, I grumbled a bit and started using the info file. Now I've become dependent on it because I stick so much stuff in there...
 
What would make the info screen REALLY cool is if you could insert images, like mic positions.

Duckbar's Track President can show list of full track names. See screen capture:


You can also copy track names to clipboard:

SONAR X3 Producer - [testi - Track] Track list
1      DHS_Disco Drum Loop 110_3_Rex (75)
2      DHS_Bass Line 110_4Bm_Rex (77)
3      FB_90_A_LP10_Rex (78)
4      RHG_120_B_LP03_Rex (79)
5      GB_82bpm_bongos+shakers_a2_Rex (81)
6      tth_drlp_130_desmond3_Rex (84)
7      091 PLP Loop 1 (85)
8      091 PLP Loop 1 (85)

Primary purpose of Track President is batch freeze/unfreeze tracks, but that's OT...:)

Panu - You are my HERO.
 
I had just grabbed 2 cups of coffee to sit down and sift through the other material you had emailed me, to try to build that same functionality.  I had meant to work on it yesterday, but had too many things pulling me away.
 
To the OP, I hope the above is what you needed - it was what I had understood you were looking for, and had been getting ready to build.
 
Please give Panu's solution a test drive and post back on whether or not that will work for you.
 
Panu included a link at the bottom of his post.  Here it is again: www.sonarmods.com
 
Good luck to you,

I try it as soon as I buy and install X3. It might be a few months but I won't forget this one.
