Hello,

the grid in piano roll follows the main grid line settings and not the settings set in the piano roll view.  Is there a way to fix this? I like to disable snap setting and re-enable them frequently and it is really annoying to have to reset all of my grid settings each time I do this.

Thanks!

Also another issue Ive found is that automation envelopes barely work.. they randomly don't transmit values. Ill have to click the edit filter, automation, and midi and enter the same values 3 or 4 times before the envelope will start working.  After a few times with the same values it will start transmitting correctly...unsure of how to get around that. Pretty ridiculous bug if you ask me.

  ... I haven't gotten to that yet... If that's true, it's bad.... but luckily, I can switch benstat's Sonar Plus snap-switching (auto) between TV and PRV... and not be bothered once again... (most of the time)... I'm sure they'll get it sorted out in due time and for the now...? benstat's Sonar Plus to the rescue! Keni

I tried that but whenever I would launch the piano roll view it would crash for some reason...Another thing, how do you copy and paste notes from one midi track into another? What I cut it from one and paste it into another it doesn't play the notes.  I pretty much have to redraw everything multiple times to get it to recognize the notes.

I keep finding new things as I struggle to make 30 seconds of music with this software, the piano roll notes also don't trigger sometimes when I click on them or when I click on the actual piano on the left.  Ill have to click three or four times and then MAGICALLY, sound starts coming out again... what the heck.


This software has so much potential, I love the interface, workflow and everything, but I just can't make music with it.  Since I switched I havent written a single thing in it.  It either crashes or I end up trying to fix bugs.  It's really sad, because if it worked, this would be my dream daw :(

Here's another: When i turn down the midi volume slider on one midi instrument it does nothing, when I turn it down on another it turns off the midi being played back. Holy crap....I've run into so many bugs in a single hour.

Not seeing that one here I was using that most of yesterday. I did have snap issues with a drum map selected as the output.

I'll try all the rest later but didn't notice anything with MIDI volume.

If you are using an simple instrument track keep in mind you have two sliders. When you have selected the MIDI tab at the bottom the slider affects the MIDI velocity, and if you have selected the Audio tab next to the MIDI tab the slider affects the output volume.

Keep in mind MIDI velocity is not the same as Audio output volume.

I did not notice any problem with automation, but I will definitely take a closer look at it...

That's not right. The Volume slider in the MIDI tab (or track header if you split the instrument track) sends MIDI Volume (CC7) messages to the synth that change its audio output level. The "Gain" knob at the top of the Inspector on the MIDI tab is the Velocity Offset control.


As for MIDI automation, there does seem to be a problem with MIDI envelopes not generating control messages when first created. You can reliably make a MIDI envelope active by re-assigning it to the controller number it's supposed to be sending.

Just tried this. Not seeing this either, are you sure you set it to transmit on the right channel, the default is channel 1. If that isn't what you want you need to change it.

Was it particular envelopes or all of them? If you are more specific about what didn't work others can help more.

There are several ways to copy and paste from one MIDI track to another. I've just tried it with a clip in the TV using ctrl-c & ctrl-v. That works ok.

I've also tried it by selecting a few notes in the PRV and pasting them into a new MIDI track in the TV. That works as well. I've even tried it to several different synths and they all work. Although drum tracks played back as a piano does sound rather funky.

If you are having lots of problems you are probably better getting in touch with support who will troubleshoot with you. While there are still some bugs within X1 if they were as basic as cutting & pasting not working these forums would be in even more uproar than they already are.
