I’ve talked to someone from KVR recently, who wishes, that when he deletes a note, the corresponding volume value should be deleted too. He records his melodys with a midi keyboard and has to do 2 actions, for a complete delete. We have a shortcut for “DeleteCurrentRowInColumn”, but that one shifts the notes below the deleting position one row up, so one has to add a row again, which requires still 2 operations. The “DeleteWholeRow” command nearly does, what he wants, but it’s unusable with chords.
He basically wants “ClearCurrentRowInColumn”, so “DeleteCurrentRowInColumn” without shifting. I think he has a valid point, this would speed up the work, when working with midi keyboards and could attract more users, though i haven’t heard someone complaining until now.
As a creator of “Capture Nearest Instrument” feature I would suggest “Jump to Nearest Object Below/Above” and “Delete current object (under cursor) and Jump to next Nearest Object Below/Above” where “object” is applied to notes/volumes/pan/commands
Just a basic idea
note: The hot keys should be very similar to make the editing process very fast.
edit: and one more thing: the nearest object scanning should be global, i.e. go through patterns as well (but stay within current track) up or down according to pressed key.
by the way, yesterday I forgot to mention what is my personal workaround for this: when I need to remove an entire note+vol+pan, I press CTRL+B and then CTRL+E, and n+v+p gets selected. Then you have to press ALT+F3 to cancel the selection, and you also have it in the clipboard.
when you get used to it, you can really achieve this is an fraction of second
I also see no point to keep these parameters when the note is gone.
for that reason I have ‘record and play velocities’ unchecked
to spare me the hassle of deleting al those parameters on the wrong places if I play something wrong.
I then enter them afterward.
