Description:
Introduce a variety of improvements to the MIDI editor (piano roll) in Loopy Pro for better usability, control, and creative workflow.
Problem:
The current MIDI editing tools are limited in precision, customization, and usability, especially when handling larger arrangements or detailed MIDI programming.
Proposed Solution:
  • Add zoom and scroll via pinch or keyboard/mouse (vertical and horizontal).
  • Add velocity and other CC lanes with automation-like editing.
  • Implement step input and MIDI note drawing tools.
  • Allow custom grid sizes, including triplets and dotted rhythms.
  • Add tools for selecting/editing multiple notes (e.g., marquee select, quantize).
  • Snap options (absolute/relative), plus the ability to nudge notes by steps.
  • Option to mute/unmute notes.
  • Add ghost note view (e.g., display other MIDI clips faintly in the background).
  • Add folding/collapsing of unused or empty note rows.
  • Optional playback preview for selected notes or areas.
Benefits:
  • Empowers users with a modern, flexible MIDI sequencing experience.
  • Speeds up composition and editing for both simple loops and complex arrangements.
  • Brings Loopy Pro closer to traditional DAW-level MIDI editing capabilities.
