Preview notes recorded in piano roll (FIXED)

snooks · 03-13-2016, 05:44 AM

When the PRV is open and you record into the item with MIDI record set to overdub, note previews are also recorded. Disabling "Preview notes when inserting or editing" prevents this, but I don't think it should be happening with that on.

edit: clarification from post #3 in response to Dstruct (to save some mousewheel/pad millimeters)...

In MIDI Overdub mode with the MIDI editor open on item being recorded into, notes are recorded at cursor position when editing existing notes with Note Preview: On.

Confirmed. (5.20pre19)

Disabled "Preview notes when inserting or editing" doesn't prevent this here.

FIXED (5.20pre21)

Not sure if I would call it a bug tho. IMO it should record the mouse clicks as notes in all recording modes (with an option to disable it).

Note preview from the piano roll keys are still recorded with note preview off, but clicking on or moving an actual recorded note results in a new note being recorded at cursor position with note preview on. This is the bit that definitely shouldn't happen.

So the bug is:

In MIDI Overdub mode with the MIDI editor open on item being recorded into, notes are recorded at cursor position when editing existing notes with Note Preview: On.

Ok, confirmed. This really shouldn't happen, I agree.

Thanks for confirming.

Got it, I think when recording on that track, the previews when editing notes should be disabled (but previews on the piano keys themselves should still be enabled).

Dstruct · 03-13-2016, 10:12 AM

And why is the recording of Piano Roll mouse clicks only working in Overdub mode?

@Justin: thanks for the quick investigation, the solution sound good too.
