I think the problem is a lack of standardisation in the plugin. Not all plugins support legato, and those that do use different parameter numbers for it. It’s not as simple as having a NNA for plugins, because there isn’t a standard signal that is understood to be this or that NNA.
For example, the voice switch in Charlaton is on parameter 46 and is called Voice Mode. The legato toggle on ragnarok is parameter 3 and called Porta Lg.
Hrm, I think you’re misunderstanding.
We’re talking strictly about Note Offs in Renoise, explicit and implicit, when they occur, and how they’re paired with Note Ons.
All Renoise-side. All plain old MIDI notes.
How specific synths deal with those notes after they leave Renoise is irrelevant to this discussion.
I think toimp’s NNA proposal, and my elaboration, has serious potential.
It would mean fewer columns and less column-juggling when coding overlapping notes.
And it would go a looong way toward lessening the “need” for a piano roll.
I’ll make an “Ideas and Suggestions” thread once this thread is tapped out.
