Hey hey Alexandre, I'm back at music, using Midish with spectacular success! But with my command set and the setup I use I have to separately maintain ever more information in an extra file. So I wondered, if you could allow Midish to save more types of info in a project or allow an auxiliary file to be stored, that would hold that info. Specifically project specific device info is helpful, since devices can also be soft synths and direct MIDI-USB devices, that will only appear, when they are running. Also global variables. I use those for groups of tracks and basic info for my step sequencing commands. There's one additional issue, that really does generate problems: the quantisation command. The problem is this: a couple of 8th notes of the same pitch, played on a monophonic synth/patch. If quantised with 8th denomination, the notes will blur into one, since note-on and note-off overlap or are so close together, that the synth won't separate them. This has happened on several hardware synths, both old and new. There hadn't been an occasion to try it with softsynths. If the notes are quantised with 16th, they may completely disappear, if the note was played too staccato. Working from my own step-sequencing commands, would it be feasable, to build in two conditions when quantising: If the note length allows it move the note-off command one tick back, so the first 8th note of a bar, will not end at tick 12, but at tick 11, counted from one. Second if the note length allows it, make sure, that a note will at last at least one length of the given denomination. This will not work on 96th notes, if someone wants them, but starting on 48th this mechanism could help. I've lost a few tracks due to the current behaviour, which is my fault, in not remembering, that this will happen. Still it's something, that can happen easily. :) A last wish is purely for comfort and not important as such, but it would make life easier: allowing note names, where MIDI-note numbers are allowed. So something like A C E might work in place of 45 36 40. It would help in entering steps, as I do with the pstep/pstepv and ppen/ppenv commands. Thanks for a great piece of software! I'm always enjoying it! I do hope, that you will continue to work on it and slowly extend it. Didn't I hear something about pattern sequencing in the wings? It's a great tool and very much appreciated as is - of course - your work and design. Truly, it's fun working with it!
