The worst UI flaw of Ableton is its atrocious piano roll. They need to make it more like FL Studio's piano roll - left click to enter a note and hold it down to adjust length, right click to delete (yes there's draw mode, but it doesn't let you do that)
- ryan-allen 9y agoI find myself swapping from draw to regular mode with B a lot, and using the arrow keys to adjust things. It's a bit annoying... I thing piano rolls are pretty antiquated in general, most people aren't writing chromatic pieces, so I'd like to see something that was more of a guiding force in programming within certain bounds of western music theory. I'm a programmer so I guess I could make it happen!
- rhizome 9y agoYou could use a wavetable LFO with Autotune to quantize the pitch (if necessary or desired) to whatever mode you like.
- thatswrong0 9y agoI genuinely don't understand what's going on with the devs. Little to no outreach about upcoming features or releases. Little to no attention paid to improving the core experience. They're seemingly ignoring their core users who have been asking for basic improvements such as these for years while continually improving the Push. FL seems to be improving at a much more rapid pace. Bitwig gives us at least a glance at what's coming. But Ableton? It really seems like they're getting complacent. Or they're struggling. Or maybe they're saving up everything for 10 (but telling no one about it). Ugh. If I wasn't such a fan of the workflow I'd jump ship.
