You’ve got my vote! MIDI is just as important as audio. So, sub-millisecond offsets are just as important for MIDI as they are for audio.
I’ve also got a feature request that I need your vote on: https://answers.presonus.com/76617/midi-notation-mute-automation-request
My request is designed to simplify the process of editing the notation used for VST instrument arrangements. Once implemented, there would be no need for manual splitting of MIDI events or note-by-note muting of MIDI notation on the piano roll. This feature is especially handy for repetitive music like EDM, rap, and other electronica, but can be used in any genre where VST instruments are used.
Instead of manually splitting MIDI events and/or having to go into the piano roll of each individual instrument track to edit MIDI notation, users would just automate the “MIDI Mute” Button that already exists on each VST Instrument Track: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fC7Bktj8XS3--Ys8jNHb9U1w6Irej14M/view?usp=sharing
I put together a short video of me attempting to mimic what the process would look like in real time. The only difference is that I am currently unable to recall any of the actions it took to generate these results, because the “MIDI Mute” button is currently not automatable for whatever reason:
After watching this video, think about how much time it would save to be able to automate “MIDI Mute” compared to having to manually split and mute MIDI events and/or notation from the piano roll to accomplish this same task! Even if you don’t see yourself using this feature, it deserves your vote by virtue of it being a button in a DAW that can’t be automated!?! This is a DAW… all buttons should be automatable, right!?!
The first part of the video also highlights the audible difference between “MIDI Mute” and “Audio Mute”, as the two parameters serve entirely different functions. “MIDI Mute” controls the reading of VST Instrument notation, while “Audio Mute” is effectively a sound man, turning your microphone on and off.
Please take the time to add your vote for this exponentially time saving feature here on the Presonus feature request page:
