Hi,

We’ve updated the 2018 Mac version to add major feature – a piano roll.
The free patch is available for 2018 users, and is available here http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=475019#Post475019

Note that all orders downloaded on May 28,2018 or later already have this patch so don't need it.


We’ve also made a video demoing the new piano roll feature on the Mac and you can watch it here https://youtu.be/GXuM5Y-O3xU

There are a few other additions coming in this free patch today for example improvements in lyrics handling and import from midi files. They are described in the link above.


Have Fun!

Sorry to begin a new "pester" so soon! But...... A really useful nice-to-have now would be keyboard shortcuts ( Up Down left right keys for example ) for the PR MIDI editor. Switchable between the same shortcuts on one's favourite DAW - so Ableton or Cubase/Logic etc users can continue to use the same shortcuts they are all used to.

Also nice to have would be being able to audition any of the piano-keys on the left-hand side piano by clicking on them would be really useful in order to quickly audition which octave is right to place a not in - or just to test which note is on which line before adding a new note.

Personally.... as a total Ableton fan-boy - just replicating how the Ableton piano-roll editor works mouse and shortcut-wise would be cool

but I imagine Logic/Cubase and other DAW users will want things a little their way too... smile

[EDIT ! DOH! it does this already.. IGNORE smile ]


Also - a common MIDI editing feature is that when one clicks on a piano-key - it selects ALL the MIDI events that are on that particular note.

And Shift-select with this words often too.

( and of course i'm thinking oh how Ableton does things here smile )

PS - nice that you included the GHOST note feature. Very handy and only added to ableton recently ! )

Hi nochai,

Your suggestions may get more views, support and discussion by posting them in the Band-in-a-Box wishlist section of the forum +++ HERE +++. As it presently stands many viewers may pass over this thread since the topic is about Mac getting the piano roll view.

Since more Windows users than Mac users post in the forum it will be helpful to indicate your request is for the Mac edition of Band-in-a-Box.
