Mario/ALL.

Got OTS working in S1.

your good people mario....sent you a pm but in case you missed it.

heres how to get ots in s1....eg 5/4.

1..import bb midi file.
2..next to time line in arranger on the left youll see a BLOCK.
3..click on it and a menu will come up.
4..select time signature.
5..change from 4/4 to 5/4.
6..to get midi piano roll i clicked on the track graphic under time line....
7..then...once again in s1 piano roll i clicked on block to left of time line and selected time sig from menu.
8..i checked time sig was 5/4. if its not for some reason alter 4/4 to 5/4.
9..maybe there is a better way but the above is what worked for me.
10..and yes i checked with other daws...the notes start in the right places in the s1 piano roll.
11..imho the feature re OTS should be made more overt.
maybe in top menu where the file menu is ?
frankly i am still exploring s1..its very extensive.

hth. overall in my opinion s1 is a very very good daw...with extensive features. the latter though meaning a user new to music production like rb/bb will need to go through quite a learning cycle due to the extensive s1 features.

also...and not to irk anyone as we are all different...like lots of modern daws... extensive use is made of icons...thus one must take the time to learn what each does. however to be fair this is a delicate balance for any developer providing an app with extensive features. in conclusion no easy solution to cut down on the learning cycle....frankly for me i find i like a daw with limited numbers of icons.
maybe its my poor vision...dunno.
Reaper v2 i find a lot easier to navigate around.
but not the extensive feature list of course...but...R2 does everything i need anyway.

let me add...like rb/bb and lots of daw apps to get the best out of s1 a user will really have to try out the various s1 features in order to develop his/her individual work methods.

in closing and to be very fair and unbiased i'm going to explore s1 more....its a very good daw. but its a large daw exe in comparison to others ive tested.
one thing i REALLY REALLY liked in s1 was the ability in arranger view to have seperate time sig/chords/marker etc tracks.
something ive been wanting for a looong time in bb and rb.
i also hope its made easier to get the s1 trial.
for example like multitrackstudio.com fast dload and install... and no need to set up an account to get the trial.
MTS took all of 5 mins total before i was useing it.
the way to protect any daws ip imho is like mtstudio just offer a few tracks in the trial for someone to trial the daw.
particularly as the daw market is sooo competitive....ie setting up accounts etc i'm sure might put some potential buyers off.


happiness.
