Beta4:

• Added a “note enable mode” option button to the drum map editor. When the option is selected all drum keys show an enable/disable button. When the option is deselected, all disabled drum keys are hidden. This is useful for setting up a compact drum map with only the drum sounds you intend to use.

• Added a menu button to the drum map editor. The menu contains commands for enabling all GM drum keys or enabling only notes used on the track. There are also copy/paste commands for applying the enable/solo/mute states to other tracks.

• Added solo and mute buttons to each key in the drum map editor. The solo/mute state is applied to all sequences playing on the track.

Excellent thanks! :mrgreen:

Note that the new stuff is still not saved in the .pod file. The enable/solo/mute changes are also not added to the undo history yet. It’s a bit tricky, because the changes are applied to the tracks in the arrangement editor, but the edit action is done in the drum map editor. I think the undo should be done in the drum map editor, and not be listed in the arrangement editor undo history :-k.

I’m interested in your comments and suggestions.

I think…

…that it should be contained wthin the Drum Map Editors undo history. When you right click on those (undo / redo) buttons the history should include enable/solo/mute changes.

I will say though that it’s not nearly clear enough that right clicking is necessary to see the undo history list funnily enough.

💡 A small button could be placed next to those buttons to make it more obvious.

💡 Or….alternatively when you hover over either of those undo/ redo butttons the right click action can be suggested in Podiums info box (bottom left of the Podium UI). This seems the easiest way forward and maybe all that is needed…but at least that much is needed IMO for the arrangement view and Editor undo / redo buttons. 🙂

The drum rows
Could you please add a subtle highlight to drum rows when the mouse cursor is over them and when a row is clicked?
