MIDI Mapping

[David Bade]

I’d suggest adding in some kind of MIDI key name octave graphic to help wade through the very monochromatic MIDI Map window. (see attached)
Just a area line per octave would be a great visual improvement.

Also in the MIDI In/EDrums tab while it’s good that both the MIDI number and MIDI key name are shown, the list view is opposite of the Map Key Window. 🙁
Inverting the list to match would make a lot more sense, or at least provide a reverse switch to flip it over to match visually with 1 on the bottom and 127 on the top.
Again at least some octave range indicators would be a useful graphic improvement.

Thanks for considering.
The V3 system sounds killer so far otherwise.

The order of the lists are different for a reason – the MIDI Mapping Keys (in the Drums tab) are made to be viewed as a piano roll, as they are represented in most DAW:s (0 at the bottom). On the other hand, the list in the MIDI In settings is designed as a scrollable list – where it felt strange to have a list to start with the highest number (127). However – I understand your confusion since they basically represents the same thing. We are looking over the entire MIDI In settings page, and we’ll continue to make it better!

The marking of octaves is a good idea – I will take a note of it.
Unfortunately your attachments didn’t get posted – I think you forgot to press “Upload” when you added them. We will look at this since it’s not a good implementation from our side that you have to press “upload”.

Thanks for the feedback, it helps us making our software better for you guys! 🙂
