One of the stock PLE Presets, Add a Date to selected MIDI and Audio Tracks, does exactly what it claims as shown in the screenshot. The weird thing is the Append Operation usually adds the actual TEXT in Parameter 1 to the end of the Track Name. If I put “XYZ” in Parameter 1 the Track would be named “BongosXYZ” - indeed if I change it to lowercase “date” the track gets named “Bongosdate” But capitalized it actually generates a real date.
As far as I can tell this is completely undocumented and now I’m wondering if there are any others. I’ve tried a few like Number & Count with no luck.
Martin, I see you also posted this info in the thread below which was the reason I was poking around and stumbled on this Date thing. But how did you even know about “Renumber” in the first place? As far as I can tell none of this is documented. It would be pretty cool if there were more of these and they were documented so we could know they exist.
Yes, how? I’m sitting here typing like a madman, ColorName, Track Color, TrackColor, Track_Color, Color_Name, in case I hit the jackpot and we can somehow use colors as a variable.
Is there extra documentation somewhere? Are those Parameter description scattered through manuals of older versions?
After hearing about this, I have the feeling there are a bunch of hidden PLE features that no one knows about. It really would be great if there was a separate or extended section of the manual for the PLE and Midi Logical Editor.
