When dropping a MIDI file or a sequence object onto a track, the end of the new sequence event will be snapped up to the next grid line.

That’s nice, but I don’t think it’s the perfect cure yet… This works fine in other sequencers. Isn’t there some kind of pattern length or something specified in a MIDI file? :-k

Pressing the Insert key in the arrangement and note editor now supports duplicating a multiple event selection. If snap is enabled, the start of the duplicated events will be snapped up to the next grid line. Pressing Shift+Insert will override snap. Pressing Ctrl+Insert will snap to next bar.

Realtime bounce recording mode now automatically creates the sound events for the recording.

Realtime bounce recording is no longer limited to the length of the arrangement, but will continue to record until stop is pressed.

Wha– 😯
These are all awesome!

My only two complaints are that the real-time bounced waveform displays gaps (which are thankfully not present in the actual audio file) until you scroll or zoom, and there’s something weird going on with bouncing, pre- & post-fader stuff:

– Set a track’s level to -6 dB and render an offline bounce. Rendering ignores the level setting but not the pan setting (I don’t know why, but it’s always been like this, I think). So far, so good.
– Now delete the bounce track, then enable real-time bouncing, record a bit, and play it back – same as before.
– Delete the bounce track again, add an effect that doesn’t change anything on its own (like zPEQ), and offline bounce again – works fine.
– Get rid of the effect/bounce track, add the effect again, and do a real-time bounce. The recording level is half of what it should be. Switch to bounce playback, and it is again half as loud!

Unfortunately, I can’t do extensive testing right now… maybe I’ll have time later on, if Sherlock Nielsen doesn’t catch the villain first!

Also, the pivotal chapter of the guide (colors) is ready for review.
