Topic: [Suggestion] A couple of programmable events for midi recoding feature
Just have tried to record something I'm playing on my piano first time in Pianoteq, and found out a couple of things that make this feature not very convenient to use atm. It's probably not so important for many professionals there who run the tool in some kind of workshops (FL Studio, Studio One etc), but as we have this ability already why don't add a couple more things to make it a really convenient one?
1) "Recently played on keyboard" menu option is nice thing, but I've found out it tends to unpredictably group your inputs, like "played 30 seconds ago", "played 5 minutes ago" etc. But what if you actually played 2 different pieces one after another 5 mins ago? It never will allow you to replay each of them separately, as it lacks means to separate pieces manually by user. Even worse - I noted then as time passes, it tends to group even more different pieces into huge chunks of input, like you'll get sort of one entry "played yesterday" with all input in it. This feature, if added, should be mapable too, so you could assign it to a key on your piano
2) There is no means to easily remove the more recent your input by pressing some key combination on your keyboard, and start recording from a clean list. Pianoteq has great ability to map midi inputs to some of the features related to playing midi files, like it allows to rewind it, play previous note etc, but NOT ability to erase it. I think such mapping ability should be added. But even after added it still won't be that useful, as currently "Clear menu" feature erases all your input registered to this moment. Thus we also need to tie it with item 1) so it only be able to erase the last one piece you played.
So, in a nutshell, it will work like this:
1) Press some key on your piano to set a start of a new piece (it will be clearly delimited from previous input in the "Recently played on keyboard" menu)
2) If you failed the piece at some time, press another key on your piano to erase only this very last piece and start to record it again
Atm, you can't achieve this without constantly opening menus and clicking with mouse, not very intuitive/convenient at all.
